#2 of 155 The next Jaguar XK by xkss Apr 03, 2005 (9:46 am)
I hope Jaguar backs the next XK in racing when they become more profitable with the new aluminum Jaguars. Perhaps the FIA and the American Le Mans Series would be a good start. Sports car racing rules!   Here is the 650 hp Jaguar V-8 made by Rocketsports Racing for the Trans-Am Series. It has 4.5 liters, 425 lb-ft of torque, and a 9,000 rpm redline. It is based on the 4.2 liter V-8.

Jaguar needs to get rid of wood steering wheels.

Perhaps I should post the article about Jaguar and aluminum like this...   More aluminum in Jaguar's future   Here is Mark White who is the senior body structures manager for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.
#5 of 155 a note about the above article by xkss Apr 04, 2005 (8:10 pm)
The above article was written before Jaguar confirmed the X150, the codename for the next XK.
#6 of 155 Jaguar F-Type sports car by xkss Apr 04, 2005 (8:32 pm)
I wish Jaguar would drop the X-Type and build the F-Type from a few years ago. Give it an aluminum chassis, a V-8 engine, a manual transmision, and call it the "XK 320."         BUILD IT!

I wish Jaguar would also make it as a coupe.
#8 of 155 2005 Jaguar Super V8 by xkss Apr 07, 2005 (1:49 pm)
Does anyone else want to join in this thread?
#9 of 155 Could this be the next XK? by xkss Apr 11, 2005 (3:28 pm)
The next Jaguar XK will have to comply with new European pedestrian safety regulations. The next XK will use the new XJ's aluminum chassis         Notice the yellow sign.     I'm not too sure about that circular thing in the taillights, but I like how the tail tapers off like the current XK. The next XK will have a hatch like the Advanced Lightweight Coupe that was shown at the Detroit auto show in January.           Replies to this message: merc1 (Apr 11, 2005 9:17 pm)
#10 of 155 more of the aluminum XJ by xkss Apr 11, 2005 (3:37 pm)
The new XJ uses a ZF 6 speed automatic transmission     aluminum suspension and brakes (Brembos for the XJR and Super V8)       XJ's air suspension (standard)     behind the XJR       more of the XJ
