The Frankfurt Auto Show sealed the Jaguar sports car deal once and for all, when the carmaker showed us the impressive C-X16 Concept. However, the Brits aren't sleeping on their laurels, with the company already out testing prototypes , as the vehicle is set to hit the market in 2013.
Our spy photographers came across a test mule that showed more compact dimensions compared to the XK. The vehicle used body elements from the XK cabrio, but it came with a shorter wheelbase and was fitted with a roll cage.
The upcoming model, which should used the XE designation, should uses a modified version of the next generation XK's aluminum chassis, with the vehicle set do debut with a V6 supercharged powerplant that should deliver 380 hp and receive a flywheel hybrid subsequently.
The vehicle should become a competitor for the base versions of the PorscheCarrera and considering that we've just met a new 911, we'll be in for quite a fight.
