Jaguar produce first XK
 |
Christmas came early at Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich Manufacturing Centre with the arrival of the first new Jaguar XK sports car to drive off the end of the production line. Hundreds of Jaguar employees celebrated this seminal event that heralds another era of Jaguar sporting luxury. The first production car, a Liquid Silver 4.2 V8 XK Coupe with Charcoal interior and all burr walnut facia, was handed over by John Naughton, Plant Director, to John Maries, Executive Director, Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. The car will be kept in the Trust’s collection alongside the first and last E-types and many other iconic models from Jaguar’s memorable past. |
The global public debut of the new XK coupe took place at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2005 and the XK Convertible is due to make its public debut at the NAIAS Detroit Motor Show in January 2006. Even before going on sale the XK has already been awarded the Engineering and Technology Award at the prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards. It was recognised for an all-new industry-leading feature – the pedestrian deployable bonnet.
The all-new XK Coupe and Convertible models will be available from early 2006.
Bibiana Boerio, Jaguar’s Managing Director, said: “Today is a very special day, the first Job#1 XK sports car at Castle Bromwich; it is an exciting time for all our employees, customers and dealers. The launch of a new Jaguar sports car creates momentum, excitement and a buzz that marks an historic step in the company’s revitalisation plans.
“There has been a tremendous response from all around the world to the launch of the XK; we are now starting to take official customer orders for this exciting Jaguar sports car before the official on sale date in early Spring.”
