1954 Jaguar Xk 120 Concours 2-seat Roadster on 2040-cars
North Little Rock, Arkansas, United States
|
In May 1949, Jaguar demonstrated an XK120 roadster to the press on the high-speed AutoRoute in Belgium. The road was closed for the occasion. With hood and side screens erected, and the airflow under the car improved by the addition of a full-length aluminum under tray, the Jaguar was timed through the flying mile by the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium at 126.448 mph. With hood, side screens and the windscreen removed, and a metal airflow deflector fitted in front of the driver, the speed improved to 136.596MPH.
The XK120 was significant not only because of its sporting elegance and its high standards of refinement and comfort, but also because it introduced into the history of the automobile one of the most successful engines ever. Offered for sale is this exceptional numbers-matching and factory correct 1954 Jaguar XK120. This beautiful roadster has 96,000 miles showing on the odometer (and documented). This vehicle has been meticulously maintained and cared for and it needs nothing. The car is mechanically fantastic, the transmission is perfect and the car rides and drives smoothly without any hesitation. The car has a factory new black canvas top still in the box, unrestored original side curtains, spare tire and tools. This is a show car that can be driven, and wants to be driven, yet still looks like a new car. The car is for sale world wide and available for export. International buyers are welcomed. The car is in stunning condition and others are certainly not even close to as nice as this one. |

Which is hotter, Lana Del Rey or the Jaguar F-Type?
Fri, 15 Feb 2013Lana Del Rey's "Burning Desire" video, the first musical collaboration between Jaguar and its hired songstress, is half music video, half long-form lifestyle commercial for the 2014 F-Type. If you like Del Rey channeling glamorous fifties fame as she lays down vocals of sensuous, languid dolor over images of black-and-white yesteryears, you'll like this song off of her new EP, Paradise.
We think the appearance of a red and brand-new Jaguar, though, is incongruous - either Del Rey or Jaguar is the anachronism, take your pic. That's not to say it's not beautiful, however, so enjoy the combination in the video below.
Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.
Jaguar working on 600-hp F-Type SVR
Thu, Apr 30 2015Thinking about buying a new Jaguar F-Type? You've got a number of supercharged engine options to choose from... and soon you'll have one more. According to Motor Trend, Jaguar and its Special Vehicle Operations unit are working on a new SVR version of the F-Type, and it's tipped to pack 600 or more horsepower. That's more than anything Jaguar (or for that matter Land Rover) has offered for public consumption to date, but follows a delineated progression of output. As it is, the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 offered at launch in the F-Type convertible was already churning out 500 metric horsepower. Then came the F-Type R coupe that bumped output up to 550, followed by the limited-edition Project 7 roadster with 575. Topping 600 would only follow naturally, then, but would give the F-Type a broad range of outputs, starting at 335 hp and nearly doubling once it hits the top. It would also handsomely eclipse the Mercedes-AMG GT S (503 hp) and Porsche 911 Turbo S (552 hp), rival the Aston Martin Vantage GT12 (592 hp), and give even the new Audi R8 V10 Plus (610 hp) a run for its money. The bigger question is what form the SVR model will take, and with what other equipment. Coupe or convertible, rear-drive or all-wheel drive, automatic or manual... it's too early to say at this point. But we can probably expect much of the equipment from Project 7 – active diff, carbon-ceramic brakes... the works – to reappear in the SVR as well.
