Jaguar released today a teaser video for the new XJ model along with details for the upcoming release. As you can see, Jaguar hasn't revealed much – but the top-down view does show that the newcomer gets a panormaic glass roof for the first time. According to sources, this will be an option on the finished car. The XJ will be the first car produced with aerospace-derived technology, with aluminum body architecture .
Already known was that the new XJ would be fitted with that 510 bhp 5.0 liter supercharged V8 with 625 Nm of churning and cranking torque, the same engine recently introduced in the Land Rover Range Rover. The V6 diesel will also be a winner in diesel-heavy markets. The 3.0 liter turbo-diesel engine features 271 bhp and 600 Nm of torque, almost as much as the supercharged V8, and a solid 40 mpg (UK) mileage rating (7 liters per 100 km).
Jaguar will begin taking orders for the XJ after its unveiling in July for delivery in early 2010. The XJ goes on sale in dealer showrooms at the end of 2009.
