Jaguar C-Type rendering: cabrio based on Jaguar XJ

posted: Monday 16 November 2009 by Alison in: Jaguar Cabriolet

This rendering shows a future Jaguar C-Type cabrio based on the Jaguar XJ. The rendering takes on the design elements of the front of the XJ, with obvious changes to the rear to accommodate the cabrio vehicle. The idea is to produce a Jaguar roadster to compete with the likes of the Mercedes SLK and the Porsche Cayman, which will be positioned just below the XK in the Jaguar line-up.

Reports say that we are sure to see this Jaguar sometime soon, with a possible concept turning up in 2011. The C-Type could be equipped with a 5.0-litre V8, with a twin turbo diesel option also available. The renderings are well-done, with the rear distinctively sporty and compact, although while the front shows the lovely XJ, it may prove too bulky for this style of car.
