Jaguar’s 2008 S-Type successor baptized officially XF

Out goes the S-Type nameplate as Jaguar announced that its new mid-size sports saloon which will make its public debut next autumn will bear the name XF. Designed and developed at Jaguar’s Product Development Centre at Whitley in Coventry, UK, the new Jaguar XF will be built at Jaguar’s Advanced Manufacturing Centre at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham, UK. Despite the fact that the Brits avoided giving us specific details, word has it that the XF will be heavily based on the R-D6 concept –without the suicide doors though. Via: Autoblog.com

“The Jaguar XF is a new sports saloon that will challenge people to think again about Jaguar as daring and different,” commented Bibiana Boerio, Managing Director of Jaguar Cars. “Our new XK sports car has been very well-received and is enjoying great success. We are now moving on to the next stage of Jaguar’s exciting new design era – and if you like the new XK, just wait until you see the new Jaguar XF!”
