Callum: Jaguar XJ Coupe On the Boards

Posted by admin  Published in Jaguar

Last week’s gala introduction of the 2010 Jaguar XJ will gain a follow-up act–or two.

Jaguar’s already acknowledged it’s working on hybrid versions of its new range-topping sedan. During interviews for the introduction of the aluminum-bodied, sleek new XJ, Jaguar design boss Ian Callum also acknowledged a two-door version is at least in the minds of the British brand’s directors.

An XJ Coupe has already been penned, Callum says.

A two-door XJ would be the first in the company’session lineup since 1978, at the time that it sold the XJC. That car was a short-wheelbase version of the contemporary XJ sedan, and the like science of causes and mechanicals could work with the new car. Jaguar still offers its XK coupe and interchangeable, but moved those vehicles smartly into Porsche 911 territory when it redesigned them in 2007.
