jeffs396 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Really hoping some kit manufacturer steps up with a kit of the super sharp new Jag... http://www.jaguarusa.com/all-models/f-type/overview/index.html Edited June 20, 2014 by jeffs396
Joe Handley Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 That is a drool worthy successor to the E Type..........with the return of the Stingray name to the Corvette, I wonder if a rewrite of Deadman's Curve coming.............
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Oh baby, if I saw that on the street sans badges, my first guess would be Maserati, not Jag. Looks pretty good (he said understatedly). Rear end is very Jag-esque, but all the folds and creases don't evoke the smooth feminine sensuality of the E-type. Still, I wouldn't throw her out of the garage. Oh, baby. I wonder if she's as small, nimble and toss-able as she looks in the top photo.
jbwelda Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 There is not even an XJ 13 available so someone has some catching up to do... jb
Aaronw Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I don't know, there is something a little Z about the front end that would not make me immediately think Jag, but it is a sharp looking car.
CJ1971 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Aren't we all? Wish they'd hurry up! I'd say ROG would be most likely to kit it...
slusher Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Great looking car, saw it on t v ad. That would be a fun car to drive...
Cato Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Didn't I just go through this when I bashed Harry's Mustang??
Harry P. Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Still has a lot of "E Type" in it, which is good. Get rid of the scoops/vents on the sides of the grille, fix the headlights, and you have something!
Brett Barrow Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Oh baby, if I saw that on the street sans badges, my first guess would be Maserati, not Jag. Looks pretty good (he said understatedly).

I wonder if she's as small, nimble and toss-able as she looks in the top photo. Saw one this morning on the way to work, thought it was a Maserati. Then I read this thread. "Oh, so that's what I saw this morning...."
Matt Bacon Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Small, nimble and chuckable? Oh, I think so.... http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/comparison-new-jaguar-f-type-r-coupe-vs-porsche-911-turbo-s The F-type R coupe (unlike the convertible) has got the 542BHP top of the range V8 that's been pushing the XKR-S along these last few years, except the F-type weighs 220lbs less... (and it's $20,000 lighter on the wallet) You need never buy another Porsche again... (BTW, @jbwelda -- there's not a _plastic_ Xj13 available, but if you want one... http://www.kandrreplicas.co.uk/jagkar2417.html ) It's a very nice kit, if you're comfortable working with white metal, and boy, does it have "heft" when you've built it! bestest, M.

mr moto Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I like Harry's version better. They're both beautiful cars but Harry's version shows some Jag heritage.
Matt Bacon Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 If you ask Mr Callum, he'll tell you all about how the back end (appropriately) is looking backwards towards the E-Type, and the front end is showcasing the new Jaguar "signature" grille. Just because a car's "British", it doesn't mean the only thing it has going for it is "heritage"... ;-P bestest, M.
Harry P. Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 and the front end is showcasing the new Jaguar "signature" grille... The new Jaguar signature grille doesn't make it for me.

I would of thought the badges on the car would of given away what it was Disclaimer, I am just messing with you. Edited June 20, 2014 by martinfan5
espo Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I saw a black coupe in traffic last week. I'm try to market a vital organ or two to see if I could afford one. The lottery thing hasn't worked out yet.
charlie8575 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Not impressed. Another bland, characterless modern lump, using only that which is borrowed and showing little to no originality. I'll take an E-type, not a half-hearted tribute. Pass. Charlie Larkin
Jeff Johnston Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Had I the means, that'd be the car in my garage. They are just as beautiful in person.
Tom Geiger Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 That has to be the prettiest Tata to ever come out of Mumbai! Strange era we live in! So I'll do what I did the last time I liked a Jaguar design... I'll wait 10 years and get one for 1/5 of the price of a new one!
S. Svendsen Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Mark me down for one of those kits. That car is pure sex appeal.
tim boyd Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I too would love to see a kit of this (the coupe, please). But please - make it a full detail kit - no curbsides or pseudo "full detail" with a less than accurate, separate engine representation. Thanks....TB Edited June 24, 2014 by tim boyd
