Jaguar XK200 (2014)


CAR GARAGE | Jaguar XK200 (2014) | That car reports engineers expect a road-ready weight of around 3.200 pounds, about 200 pounds more than the concept. The 2014 Jaguar XK200 should retain the concept's driver-selectable three-mode-power-source deployment system. In connection with that, Edmund's Inside Line reports That Jaguar plans a "track only" model - about 50 of the planned run - for "committed customers, together with a range of owner events and experiences." Structural makeup is the other key difference Between C-X75 and the 2014 Jaguar XK200. Where the concept employs a bonded-and-riveted aluminum skeleton like Jaguar's XJ premium-large sedan, the production car will rely on a central "tub" made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) to be designed and supplied by Williams.


As design chief Ian Callum company boasted in a press release, "We were always determined That the Jaguar C-X75 would be as striking on the road as it was in concept form." Callum says the design was partly inspired by the 1966 XJ13 prototype LeMans racing car, "arguably the most beautiful Jaguar ever made . e believe is a worthy homage to 75 years of iconic Jaguar design." Compared with Jaguar's XK Series premium sporty / performance 4-seaters, the 2-passenger XK200 should be an inch trimmer in wheelbase, nearly 6 inches shorter overall, a massive 5 inches Wider, and some 4.5 inches lower.


Interior design is less at this point Certain, but we suspect the 2014 Jaguar XK200 may be more like the C-X75 than is usually the case when concepts Become Reality.  Now, as promised, a few words on 2014 Jaguar XK200 performance. The latter Jaguar history and explain how We came up with the XK200 moniker. Moreover, Jaguar says its new super car will Produce "incredibly low emissions, with a target of less than 99 g / km CO2 ..." If the engineers meet that, the XK200 would be as green as a current Toyota Prius.  That aim is a major reason behind the 2014 Jaguar XK200. Jaguar sees it as a test-bed for the power-train and structural Innovations Mentioned above. Moreover, the new flagship sports car is Meant to symbolize JLR's technical and commercial Resurgence since 2008, when India's Tata Motors bought the concern from Ford Motor Company.


As Mentioned, we somehow suspect the 2014 Jaguar XK200 interior will be quite close to the futuristic design concept - a big departure from this brand's traditional "English drawing room" ambiance - if only to help buyers feel they're getting something extra- Their special for-buck million outlay. Jaguar has adopted a "virtual" gauges and controls via a TFT (thin-film-transistor) displays for its latest premium-large XJ sedans. Steve Cropley of Autocar magazine's Britain, one of Several Journalists granted brief drives in the concept, design chief Callum notes That encouraged suppliers to "get crazy" with interior features.


The 2014 Jaguar XK200 should inherit these traits as well, plus a seating position "exactly Between the front and rear wheel pairs," which should the make for a stable, "centered" feel in fast cornering. Speaking of which, the 2014 Jaguar XK200 Certainly will retain the concept's Various "active aerodynamics" That not only promotes features high-speed stability but trim fuel-wasting drag water. The concept sports a large, low-set of racing-style diffuser water Beneath the tail-lamps, and this, too, should carry over, though probably without the big, square "jet exhaust" ports required by the show car's micro-turbine engines. By the way, Jaguar says it is not finished with a micro-turbine engines.
