  • Die Neuen Jaguar XK Und
    Die neuen Jaguar XK und XKR „In der Kombination aus modernsten Technologien, den für die Marke legendären Fahrleistungen und hoher Handwerkskunst hat Jaguar einen neuen XK geschaffen, der als authentischer Gran Turismo das Herz und die Seele eines außergewöhnlichen Sportwagens in sich trägt.“ Mike O’Driscoll, Managing Director, Jaguar Cars Die von einem Jaguar Sportwagen ausgehende Faszination hat mit der Einführung einer neuen Generation des XK Coupé und XK Cabriolet eine neue Dimension erreicht. Komplett neue V8-Motoren, ein ausdrucksstärkeres Design, ein hochwertiges Interieur, die moderne Aluminium-Konstruktion und eine erweiterte Modellpalette machen aus dem XK ein fast neues Auto. Der jüngste Vertreter einer 60 Jahre gewachsenen Baureihe wartet nun mit den besten Tugenden auf, die ein Jaguar zu bieten hat. Der neue XK ragt nicht nur aus der Masse heraus, sondern setzt sich vielmehr von ihr ab. Denn die Designer und Ingenieure von Jaguar haben in bestem Teamwork einen Gran Turismo geschaffen, der modernste Technologien konsequent nutzt. Die Vorteile des leichten und extrem steifen Aluminium-Chassis 2 wurden bereits bei der Vorstellung des XK gebührend gewürdigt. Sie liegen neben der hohen Verwindungssteifigkeit in der überlegenen Sicherheit und einer exzellenten Reparaturfreundlichkeit nach leichteren Kollisionen. Vor allem aber bietet die Leichtbau- Konstruktion eine perfekte Basis für optimale Fahrleistungen bei zugleich geringem Verbrauch und niedrigen CO2-Emissionen. „Der kreative Schulterschluss zwischen Designern und Ingenieuren führt bei Jaguar zu eleganten und inspirierenden Lösungen für technisch komplexe Herausforderungen. Das Ergebnis sind exzellente Produkte – und der neue XK ist ein perfektes Beispiel dafür", sagt Mike O’Driscoll. Die völlig neuen AJ-V8-Motoren der dritten Generation sind die effizientesten Motoren, die Jaguar je gebaut hat.

  • Honoring Our Senior Judges
    HONORING OUR SENIOR JUDGES The success of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance rests on the integrity of its selection and judging processes. We also want to make a significant contribution to the automotive world by establishing an accurate record of the automobile in the process of recognizing those cars with superlative designs, technological advances, or great historical significance. To accomplish this, our Class judging teams focus first on originality and authenticity, seeking to ensure that cars are properly preserved or correctly restored. Our Honorary Judges then approach the field with an eye to elegance. To win our Best of Show award, a car must first win its Class. The selection of our judges each year is based on their knowledge of and experience judging the cars in our regular and feature classes. We invite many of the same judges back each year, but we also revise the slate of judges depending on the types of cars being judged.

    Jaguar A HISTORY OF GRACE AND PACE By Anders Ditlev Clausager he maxims adopted by automobile manufacturers are an amusing byway of automotive history. They Twere intended to convey what we now call the brand image. A few well-chosen words could become instantly recognizable and memorable, forever associ - ated with a particular marque. Famous examples in the United States were “Ask the Man Who Owns One” for Packard, and “Standard of the World” for Cadillac. In Britain, Rolls-Royce was “The Best Car in the World” and MG stood for “Safety Fast!” In present times, Audi’s “Vorsprung durch Technik” is internationally recognized. Jaguar, too, has had a number of similar mottos. The classic has to be “Grace... Space… Pace,” which was used through - out the 1950s and 1960s. Today, we describe Jaguars simply as “Beautiful Fast Cars,” which I suppose is a kind of post - modernist version of the original slogan, still containing synonyms for “Grace” and “Pace”—I am not quite sure what happened to the “Space.” The London Motor Show, held in 1948 at the Earls Court, was the venue for the first public showing of the Jaguar XK 120. 3 Left: A 1938 SS Jaguar 100, the first time that Jaguar matched the name of a car to its top speed of 100 mph.
