That looks like a Very Cool Thing Indeed!
Nice little film too; with a few subtle nods to the opening sequence of the original Gran Turisimo...!

Every hair on the back of my neck popped watching that. It sounds bloody gorgeous! Love the Ecurie Ecosse paintwork too!
Gotta love skunkworks specials!

Cracking looking car but then Jaguar concepts always are, I saw the XK180 at Brands a few years ago and it was stunning

Having seen this in the flesh (I got lucky while it was out being tested before paint) I've got to say I really like the concept, and it works well in the flesh, love the colour too (though seemed brighter on Tuesday when I managed to spot it from the LSE). Are you part of the ESO team? But not sure the Ecurie Ecossecco white stripe quite suits it (the grill surround works and alone would probably have been enough) and the spoiler is well just that, retaining the standard pop up item would have been much nicer - good clean looks when stationary, added aero when moving. Oh and would have been so much cooler if the passenger side had a hard cover (like the D-type racers) but I can see why that was left out. To be honest that's all subjective I guess, so a thumbs up from me  Oh and the front end treatment though not a lot different, works much better than the standard car, hope that's carried over to the R. |

I was reading about this earlier, sounds and looks amazing, and it's great that you were fortunate enough to be able to have a role in creating such a car Loads more info about it here. |

I already loved the new F type.
I had to stop and rewind that video twice to put the sound up, and then up to max, and then watch the video...and again...and again...
Epic.

I'm part of the CAS team here at Whitley so flitter between ETO and Core as and when work load needs it.

Looking forward to those And I'm actually a Tata (TMETC) vehicle refinement bod, but have worked on a few JLR programs over the years (Sportbrake was the last). We have a workshop at Gaydon and tend to do the majority of our track tests and development builds there, so tend to be about pretty often. Must be nice getting to work on some ETO stuff, always the best for brewing a bit of passion for the job - certainly more so than what I'm working on at the moment! Consider me jealous! |
