The new baby of the British carmaker will be its first ever sports car to depend on diesel. The new XK will have a 3.0L twin turbo set up for its V6 that will compete with the segment where the likes of BMW 635d thrive.

It will be a perfect mix of economy and performance for the turbodiesel XK made of aluminum lightweight alloy. It can blast from 0 to 60 in a matter of 5.0 seconds with a fuel mileage hitting 30 mpg.

There will also be the XK D which offers torque fit for a V8 and acceleration that gets your heart either thumping or stumping while you speed from point A to point B of your day’s itinerary.

The demand for diesel sports car also defines a bright future for the new XK and it sees an annual production run between 10,000 and 12,000 units.

The grille of this Jaguar will have a new look and do away with the oval spitfire wing used by the E type during the 1960s. The new grille will give the XK a bolder look and somehow give the badge proper distinction especially abroad where the oval grille is mistaken for another car brand.

The cabin of the XK should also hit the spot. Inspired by the XJ interior, the XK’s will also use hand-stitched leather, high tech car instruments and panels.
