not hot at all.
looks like a Tiburon with an Amanti Tail.

anyway, the side looks very good though, but only because it looks like a DB9.


and an entry V6 diesel model? what's the point, who's gonna buy a diesel sports car?
well, I would, but that's because I am stingy. I don't think most jag buyer will care about mpg anyways.

I agree that the backside looks gorgeous, but the nose...I actually like(d) Jaguar's current 4-eyeball look. Still love the curves though, hot.

After looking at it again, I prefer the current body style to this one. The nose of the car just doesn't seem to match the rest of it, it looks like it is confused over if it is an Aston or a Jaguar.

I can't remember if it was MT or C/D, but they had those spy pics, but said it would probably be toned down for production. Would be a shame if they do.

Wait, maybe these ones are different.. I'll have to check.


Ok, same pics.. its in MT. "As predicted, the production XK8 gets slightly less flamboyant bumpers front and rear. The rear plate pocket is considerable wider, there are two real dual exhausts in place of the show car's oval pipes in the middle of the tail, and the production car has its center high-moundted stoplight in the rear spoiler. At the front, spotlights replace the aggressive aluminum scoops, but the side scoops - said to be a future Jaguar styling signature - remain."

Well seeing as they are both owned by Ford and will be using the same platform, er, yeah, I think thats a safe assumption.
