it look like a cross breed between bently and bmw z8
I was thinking z8 and even maybe a little 911 in there as well. I like.
Don't know what you guys are seeing but I see a reincarnation of the classic XKE Jaguar. I always wondered why they didn't bring this thing back. Maybe the pinnacle of beauty in a sports car / penis on wheels.

Excellent modern take on a huge classic. Front, rear, side profile.....they did a magnificent job of updating it without losing the beautiful proportions of the original. Can't believe the front and rear bumpers. Hope those are production ready. Even the wire spoke wheels with what appear to be real knock off hubs. OK who wants to wax the wheels?

Looks really bland to me for some reason.

Doesn't appear too original of a design.

That has to be one of the best designs by Jaguar.

The wheels are ridiculously oversized. Can anyone tell me what brand tire that is? I want some, they look cool.

The single driver mirror is cool too. Would love to see this in other colors.
