In the past New York International Auto Show we saw last special edition of the 2015 Jaguar XK, one last edition called Fifty Final Edition and based on the XKR to have the privilege to dismiss the British model. After the arrival of Jaguar F-Type the protagonist of our story lost much sense, so much so that the manufacturer was quick to say that probably would not see a new generation of Jaguar XK.

However, fans of this sport can breathe easy. Russ Varney, responsible for developing the model, said the British Autocar means that there could be a new 2015 Jaguar XK since there is no reason why this model cannot live with the Jaguar F-Type. Obviously, the new Jaguar XK would have to use another approach, should put aside the sporty character to settle in a segment Gran Turismo.

As you said Russ Varney, the current Jaguar F-Type still has much potential to meet many needs with new versions, but they still leaving some gaps to be filled. To meet these needs will be born the next generation of 2015 Jaguar XK, a new generation that will have to wait a few years because the British manufacturer has other priorities in mind, starting exploit the Jaguar XE, continuing with new versions of the F-Type and culminating with the SUV will arrive between 2016 and 2017.

Soon this information was confirmed by a specialist British company Russ Varney, who also oversees the development project F-Type. “Now our main model is the F-Type, but this does not mean that we are finally” bury” XK.

Specialist in the development of the project F-Type Russ guys spoke as follows: “The whole essence of Jaguar sports cars. Therefore, we consider it our main model F-Type. However, this does not mean that the XK is dead. There is no reason against the fact that this model exist today as a representative segment of the “Gran Turismo”. We have many plans for the F-Type, but he will not be able to close all the segments that we would like. We need to come up with a way to be present in these niches and XK is one option.”

On the other hand, in the spring it was rumored that the direct successor at the 2015 Jaguar XK will not, but will be released a flagship sports car with a “landing formula 2 + 2″. Recall that the release of 2015 Jaguar XK was discontinued this summer and its latest incarnation it has found in the form of track sports car Jaguar XKR-S GT.
