An updated exterior design gives the XE a more purposeful and assertive stance. Continuing on from the beautifully judged proportions of the original car, new XE’s sporting intent has been taken up a level, with contemporary design cues inspired by the F‑TYPE sportscar. XE appears wider and lower than before, with larger front apertures, bold graphics and muscular forms alluding to the car’s performance and advanced aerodynamics. New all‑LED headlights with a striking ‘J’ blade daytime running light signature create a more purposeful look. The rear of the car also features a new bumper design and slender all‑LED tail‑lights with updated signature graphics which accentuate the visual width of the car, giving the XE a more planted appearance.

Jaguar's all-new 5.0-litre AJ-V8 XK X150

Introduced for the 2010 model year, the updated Jaguar XK marked one of the most significant developments in the model's life. While the timeless Ian Callum design remained unmistakably Jaguar, beneath the elegant lines came a host of meaningful improvements.

The biggest change was the introduction of Jaguar's all-new 5.0-litre AJ-V8 engine, delivering substantially more power, stronger torque and improved refinement over the outgoing 4.2-litre. Inside, the traditional J-Gate shifter made way for the now-iconic JaguarDrive Selector – the rising rotary gear selector that became a hallmark of modern Jaguars. The cabin also received revised trim, updated instruments, improved technology and higher-quality materials, creating an even more luxurious driving environment.

Externally, subtle revisions included a new front bumper, larger lower air intake, redesigned headlights with LED signature lighting, revised tail lamps and updated alloy wheel designs, giving the XK a more contemporary and purposeful appearance.

Combining effortless performance, grand touring comfort and unmistakable British style, the 5.0-litre XK represents the final evolution of one of Jaguar's finest grand tourers.

Last and best of the XK Series with revised front bumper and light design. Powered by the Gen 3 AJ-V8 direct injection 5.0L V8 with a very light all aluminium construction, performance is superb. Last of the great XKs.

The 8km Circuit de Charade in Clermont Ferrand, which included public road sections, hosted the French Grand Prix in 1965, 1969, 1970 and 1972. It fell out of favour as loose volcanic rock and the lack of any real run-off areas took their toll on cars and drivers alike. The full, longer circuit was last used in 1988 so Jaguar returned to the historic track to mark the anniversary of its closure by completing the first flying lap of the circuit in three decades.

After completing the fastest ever lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a production saloon behind the wheel of the XE’s track-ready stablemate, the SV Project 8, driver Vincent Radermecker attempted to set a production saloon lap record in the XE 300 SPORT. With a roundabout and two narrow gateways not used in the original circuit to contend with, Vincent lapped the demanding track in just 4 minutes 09 seconds at an average speed of 116km/h (72mph).

Really interesting listening to Chris Harris and friends spend time with the pre-production Jaguar Type 01, while also driving some of the Jaguars that inspired it.

It’s a thoughtful discussion from people who genuinely understand Jaguar’s history, design language and character. What I found most interesting is that the story behind the car may be a little more nuanced than many of us first thought.

Jaguar has never really moved the needle by playing it safe, and some of the brand’s most celebrated cars were controversial when new. Regardless of where you sit on the new direction, it’s an interesting conversation and well worth a watch...
