CGI: Jaguar Small Coupe

Jaguar is reportedly working on a small coupe model and, in case the company is indeed preparing such a project, this is how it might going to look like. The car will boast a very aerodynamic look, with large front grille and special air intakes in the front bumper, probably for cooling the engine.

And speaking of engine, the future Jaguar will most likely come equipped with a new engine, particularly optimized for reduced fuel consumption but without neglecting performance figures. The car is expected to compete with Audi A5 or BMW 3 Series but engine displacements are yet to be disclosed. Early rumors are hinting that the small coupe is going to be priced below the 30,000 pounds mark in order to address the same consumer segments as the aforementioned two models.

Jaguar engineering chief Mick Mohan said in September that Jaguar is indeed working on such a project but refused to provide more details on the matter. He said however that the car might be based on the aluminum platform technology, which will allow the manufacturer to further cut the weight of the car, thus improving fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

Back in August, Ratan Tata, chairman of the parent company Tata Motors, said that future Jaguars will comprise several lightweight aluminum parts to contribute to fuel efficiency and engine performance.

“JLR is planning to have all its future cars constructed with lightweight aluminium bodies resulting in considerable savings in weight, and reduction in CO2 emissions," Ratan Tata said at that time in a public statement.
