Jaguar, who once produced what Enzo Ferrari famously described as "the most beautiful car in the world" (the original E-type) decided to take a bold new direction by going to the opposite extreme and proposing one of the ugliest cars ever conceived?
Well, it looks like they have succeeded.
Somebody said it was a clever modern re-interpretation of the E-type (this comment was smuggled out of their padded cell by a kindly warden and handed to a reporter from the National Enquirer).
Of course it may just be that the overwhelming single-colour look doesn't suit it too well and production versions might well be improved to appeal to the tastes of would-be buyers.

Saw this a few days. The production car will be a four door ('26 or '27 ). Jag must take bold action; they are literally on the ropes, if this new direction fails to catch on, Jaguar will probably fade away.
I like their modern interpretation of my 1984 Pontiac Trans Am rims! 😎

Reminds me of something Cadillac might do. 🤔

You mean like this?
I think the Cadillac was way nicer.

Graeme; puts me in mind of the Tesla Cybertruck a little. This will help Jaguar very little. And I hate that because I LOVE the marque.
Chris; OMG! They DID steal your wheels!
Frank; I initially thought the same thing. But at least Caddy tones down their concepts some before hitting production time.

I NEVER thought I would say this but.....the Kuvakas 2-tone actually improves this hideous block of non-imagination!

Personally, I feel it is a truly awful and exceptionally poor advertising and print/TV campaign.

Audi’s going in a similar (design) direction…
