Jaguar F-Pace First Edition: Only 2,000 to be Made

It's a CUV capable of driving upside down while withstanding 6.5 gs of force, and only 2,000 lucky individuals worldwide will call one of its first edition models their own.Two years ago, in Sept. 2013, Jaguar introduced their C-X17 crossover utility vehicle concept to the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Now, at the same show two years later, its production version has been announced to the world. As Sept. 15 press releases from Jaguar Land Rover share, the F-PACE CUV is a new chapter for the English manufacturer, ushering in many positive new advancements."With only 2,000 units available globally, we expect the Jaguar F-PACE First Edition to sell out - we are receiving an incredible amount of interest from customers who want to be the first and who want the best," described Chief Marketing Officer for Jaguar Land Rover Gerd Mauser in one of the releases. This special First Edition run will offer a choice of two colors for the exterior - either the Caesium Blue seen in photos and videos shared with the world, or Halcyon Gold.22-inch Double Helix Alloy wheels with grey finish and contrast inserts will finish the exterior presence, with sharp accents coming in the form of red brake calipers, LED headlights and a standard S model body kit. The interior is set to feature Houndstooth embossed Windsor Leather Sports seats, special carpet mats and gloss black trim finisher. This final appearance was selected by Jaguar's designers, as they hand-picked the favorite features and tech options they had tested thus far.As the second release tells us, this aluminum model's unveiling has already led to massive doors opening for the marque; more than £120 million, or approximately $185,952,000 USD at time of publication, has been invested in Jaguar as a result of this model.(See Also: Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo Introduced)"This takes the total amount invested in Solihull's 'factory within a factory' to £620mn - the largest investment in the 70-year history of the Midlands based plant," states the release.The F-Pace is set to go on sale beginning in early 2016, and will be available to customers worldwide.Gallery (Source: Jaguar Land Rover, YouTube) See More News from Frankfurt

Jaguar F-PACE Drives Around Loop, Breaks World Record

Jaguar’s upcoming F-PACE is poised to be a power player in the luxury crossover market. To celebrate the 80th birthday of the brand, they chose unveil the F-PACE in a unique way: smashing a Guinness World Record. Not just any record would do, so they chose to build the largest ‘loop the loop’ in automotive history, according to a press release issued today by Jaguar Land Rover."The F-PACE is a family car that is fast, fun and full of charisma, so completing the world's largest loop the loop was the perfect reveal moment," said Fiona Pargeter, Jaguar Land Rover Global PR Communications Director, in the press release. "The F-PACE is packed full of innovative technology and features the world's most-advanced in-car entertainment system, matched with super-fast wifi connectivity. Customers are going to go loopy for the Jaguar F-PACE."Months of preparation went into building the reinforced loop and in conditioning the driver. Both would need to be capable of 6.5 gs of centripetal downforce through the loop. Obviously, the F-Pace is capable of over six gs of suspension load, but we advise you not to attempt this.Also included in the release are the details of the First Edition model. This special edition will be built in limited numbers and only available in Caesium Blue and Halcyon Gold. They will arrive fully loaded with LED headlights, 22-inch wheels and a panoramic roof. Windsor leather in Light Oyster adorns the interior, with an embossed houndstooth pattern.Stay tuned to Autofluence for more Jaguar news and full coverage of the Frankfurt Auto Show.Jaguars For SaleGallery See More Jaguar News, Pics and Videos

Jaguar F-PACE Unveiled Ahead of IAA

Since their inception, crossovers have mostly consisted of front wheel drive family transporters with power coming from an unassuming V6 or I4. To break this mold, Jaguar will be pulling the wraps off of their latest creation, the F-PACE Performance Crossover, at the Frankfurt International Auto Show (IAA).In a press release earlier today, they saw fit to tease us with a side shot and video of the upcoming model. Perhaps there will be enough room under the bonnet for the 550 hp fusion reactor found in the F-Type R and the Range Rover SVR. If not, the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 shared between Jaguar and Land Rover makes more than enough power for a fun family runabout.This year marks the 80th anniversary of Jaguar, and it will be a banner year for their lineup. The new XE sedan will be a stylish and practical alternative to full size cars, and the entire F-TYPE range is available with all-wheel drive and manual transmission options. The F-TYPE range, XE, XJ and XF will all be joining the F-PACE at Jaguar's IAA stand, and can be seen by the public from the event's first day, Sept. 17, to the end of the show on Sept. 27.For full coverage of all the IAA show at Frankfurt, stay tuned to Autofluence, and find a Jaguar for your collection from their current models from our exclusive listings.Jaguars For Sale(Source: Jaguar Land Rover) See More Jaguar News

Jaguar F-PACE Testing Continues

As the luxury automotive market grows, production models from high-end manufacturers have expanded to a wide variety of offerings, but particularly notable is the sudden rush to create luxury SUVs. Jaguar is one manufacturer releasing a new utility vehicle, and in a press release today, they've shown us another look at its final design.After phenomenal interest and "an overwhelmingly positive response" to the introduction of the C-X17 concept from Jaguar in 2014, the British marque announced that the model had been confirmed for production bearing the moniker of F-PACE. After just eight months, they've already moved the model to extensive testing, and a new series of photos shows it in a stunning purble, blue and pink design.There's no denying the fact that Jaguar's development has benefited greatly from the expertise at Land Rover, and the images show us a car that, in its design, does show some strong resemblance to the new Range Rover Evoque. But there are many design characteristics that are distinctly Jaguar - most evident are the lights. Sharp, narrow and looking very much like cat eyes, they show that this car is undoubtedly a feline creation.The front grille also keeps true to Jaguar's heritage, as does the purr of its engine. A video added to YouTube Aug. 25, which you can see above, shows us F-PACE driving through some mountainous terrain, accompanied by the statement, "Unmatched driver engagement."The release tells us that the F-PACE utilizes "Jaguar's Lightweight Aluminum Architecture," as well as a double wishbone front suspension and Integral Link rear suspension to provide extra stiffness. The result is a light and nimble car capable of holding its own across uneven terrain.(See Also: 1972 Jaguar E-Type Roadster is an Automotive Time Capsule)Stay with us to learn more about this upcoming crossover from Jaguar Land Rover, and find one of their classic designs from our exclusive listings at the button below.Jaguars For SaleGallery (Source: Jaguar Land Rover) See More Jaguar News

1972 Jaguar E-Type Roadster is an Automotive Time Capsule

We have quite a few Jaguar E-Types listed on dupontREGISTRY.com, but this particular example has an incredible story that transforms it into a piece automotive history, frozen in time. We recently had the chance to talk with the seller, John Temerian, about the car and its history. It also started seven months ago when the Temerian received a text message from a friend saying, "Didn't your father fix old Jaguars?" Apparently, her father was liquidating his prized possession: a 1972 Jaguar E-Type Roadster. Because Temerian receives so many inquiries about mysterious vintage cars for sale, he was skeptical. This reaction was reasonable considering how many E-Types are out in the world. During its heyday, the E-Type was considered one of the most beautiful cars on the road. Its English styling is something that, even to this day, is simply iconic. And, unlike most motorists in the 1960s and ‘70s, Jaguar owners drove their cars, racking up miles. These cars are hard to find with low mileage. In fact, Temerian told us that finding a "no-mileage, unrestored, brand-new Ferrari is not that hard" to find. But finding a similar Jaguar E-Type Roadster is "unheard of." Well, after meeting with the owner, the car in question was exactly that: an unrestored, brand-new 1972 Jaguar E-Type Roadster with only 2,000 miles on its odometer. View Price and Listing How did this happen? Back on November 29, 1972, the "owner" visited Foreign Cars of North East to purchase his dream car: a silver on red E-Type. After parting with $7,000, he welcomes the car into his garage. Unfortunately, he was not aware of the dealership's impending closing. After the dealership closed, he was left without a license for his new Jaguar and no way to register it. He was forced to stow away his dream in his garage while he filed a lawsuit against the dealership and importer. During the next two years, he purchased a British Racing Green 1974 E-Type V12 Roadster that he used for hill climbs, rallies and cruises. He did all of this while his original purchase was still holed up in his garage, collecting dust. Eventually, he won his battle, received his money back and was able to purchase the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin, commonly known as an "MSO," for a mere $2,500.  Still, the car didn't see much time on the road, which is why it's now being offered for sale with an unbelievably low amount of miles clocked. It comes with its original interior, paint, tires and documents, making it basically untouched for its 40 years of existence. It is also being sold by John Temerian, someone who comes from a family that has owned 50 E-Types over the years and is very passionate about the model. This may very well be the very last "brand-new" 1972 Jaguar E-Type in existence, and it's looking for a new home. Find out how to make it yours at the button below.

2016 F-Type SVR Spotted Testing on Nurburgring

Rumors have been flying around for months about a potential F-Type SVR being released by Jaguar in 2016, and as more and more spy shots and videos trickle in, it's harder to deny its existence.One of the most recent spottings comes from YouTuber cvdzijden, who caught what appears to be the 2016 Jaguar F-Type SVR testing on the Nurburgring."This time I have film for the very first time the 2016 Jaguar F-Type SVR what was testing on the Nurburgring yesterday," describes the caption of cvdzijden's video, added to YouTube July 8.

Jaguar Rapid Response Vehicles to Debut at Goodwood Festi...

The latest creations from Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations are preparing to assist in an attempt to break the land speed record, but before they fulfill their role as a rapid response vehicle, an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed is in order.A press release from Jaguar Land Rover today tells us that the custom-built XJR Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) and F-TYPE R AWD RRV will both be in attendance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, June 25-28. These were developed with a noble cause - to support the Bloodhound SSC's attempt to reach a speed of 1,000 mph. Full details can be found in our Nov. 6, 2014 article covering their plans.Two XJR RRVs were created to assist in the run for the record, though only one will appear at Goodwood. But accompanying the XJR RRV is Andy Green, the current holder of the land speed record and the driver of the Bloodhound SSC. He will be driving this Jaguar in the First Glance hill run June 27.Though the XJR's top speed of 174 mph is significantly slower than 1,000 mph, its 5.0-liter V8 is powerful enough to keep crucial rescue equipment and communications radios close enough to the Bloodhound SSC for easy access. But what else makes it perfectly suited to the job is the fact that Jaguar's SVO division crafted this XJR specifically for this task.The rear seats have been removed and a roll cage placed in the car instead. Specially-made housings on the roll cage carry the tools necessary for the Bloodhound's success, including a bespoke foam misting cylinder and hydraulic pump.Take a few moments to see these specially crafted Jaguars in the gallery below, and learn more about how they were created in the YouTube video above, added today by Jaguar.Jaguars For Sale Gallery (Source: Jaguar Land Rover) See More Jaguar News

Jaguar Introduces Brain-Wave Monitoring Driver Assist Pro...

The world of science fiction moves closer and closer to reality each day, and automotive manufacturers seem to be leading the charge.Jaguar's latest tech development projects stay very true to Clarke's third law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." A press release from Jaguar Land Rover today introduces their "Mind Sense" research project. Developing new brain wave monitoring software is now part of their safety research aimed at diminishing the number of accidents caused by driver distraction and fatigue.So, yes, your car will literally be reading your mind in the near future. Or, at least, your brain waves, heart rate and respiration rate to detect stress, fatigue and lack of concentration.Also referred to as their "Sixth Sense" project, this new technology comes from advancements in the fields of sports, medicine and aerospace, and now enters the roadways. Other parts of the program include gesture-control infotainment systems and haptic accelerator pedals that communicate with the driver through vibrations."If brain activity indicates a daydream or poor concentration, then the steering wheel or pedals could vibrate to raise the driver's awareness and re-engage them with driving," states Dr. Wolfgang Epple, Jaguar Land Rover Director of Research and Technology, in the release. "If Mind Sense does not detect a surge in brain activity following the car displaying a warning icon or sound, then it could display it again, or communicate with the driver in a different way, to ensure the driver is made aware of a potential hazard."A medical-grade sensor in the seat of a Jaguar XJ can detect heartbeat and breathing. If the driver is stressed, the car can then automatically adjust climate, mood lighting and audio settings. Or, when combined with autonomous driving tech, the car can now literally detect whether the driver is capable of over-riding the self-driving option.When combined with the remote control technologies introduced by Land Rover June 16, Jaguar Land Rover is poising themselves to be at the forefront of what seems like 22nd century innovation. Or, to some, magic.(See Also: Experience Historic Land Rover Models First Hand)Check out some of Jaguar's classic models that can't tell what you're thinking from our exclusive listings below, and stay with us for more updates.
