Jaguar Portfolio set to be released in 2010
Hello to all of you who are Jaguar fans. This news will be particularly interesting for you since Jaguar have announced the arrival of their newest model of Jaguar XK (which now will be called Portfolio). So, let’s take a look at what Jaguar has prepared for us.
The Jaguar Portfolio is a two-seat convertible sports car that was designed after the well-known E-Type. Its main competitors are BMW 650i, Mercedes Benz SL550 and Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. It’s a tough competition but Jaguar isn’t quite the stray cat. On the contrary, with its new 5.0-liter V8 engine it can wipe out any car off the road. Also it seems that the Jaguar J-gate gear lever is history, but that isn’t quite the bad news for most of us.
The interior of the car is said to be exquisite. It features a gray dash alongside a door panel area with double-needle stitching. The seats offer ventilation and heating and infinite adjusting possibilities. You CAN’T feel uncomfortable in this car. If you like music a 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system awaits you. That’s pretty awesome, but Jaguar also offers for this model a complete HD audio solution for an optional $300.
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is available in 4 modes: Trac DSC, DSC off (to completely disable DSC), Normal and Winter. The driving experience is total, at least that is what the manufacturers promise us, and although you can only bring one passenger with you, that’s not really the reason the Jaguar Portfolio was designed in the first place.
The new model from Jaguar offers great improvements over its predecessors, which shows that Jaguar is an experienced player on the auto market, that can provide quality merchandise. The starting price for the Jaguar Portfolio will be $88,150, but with HD audio system and custom paint it can take you around $90,000.
