Jaguar XE word cloud sculpture showcased at London Design Museum

Jaguar XE word cloud sculpture
Between September 5 and October 6
Jaguar will be showcasing between September 5 and October 6 the XE word cloud sculpture at the London Design Museum.

Installed in the Design Museum's "Tank", the sculpture is made out of 95 words from various languages such as English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Mandarin. The words were created through computer modeling and by using metal craftsmanship from the same team involved in the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

The Jaguar XE will finally be unveiled tomorrow in the hotter XE S variant which will be followed by the whole range early October at the Paris Motor Show. Among the highlights we should mention the 75 percent aluminum body structure, a new eight-inch InControl infotainment system and a laser head-up display.

In terms of design the baby Jag will be a blend of XF and XJ styling cues and it is believed a range-topping version wearing the SVR badge is in the works for an early 2016 launch with a 489 bhp supercharged V8 5.0-liter engine.

Jaguar has already announced the 2015 XE will be made at a new production facility within its Solihull factory in UK.

Should the "cloud sculpture" be a very accurate reflection of the real cars' proportions, I think that something truly splendid awaits us.

Find out why there was a helicopter dangling a car over the City!


Londoners were left scratching their heads on Sunday evening when a chopper dangling a car was spotted flying over east London.

This car had better be the shite when it arrives with all this hoopla.

All you need is a long zoom lens.

Or media with no scruples.

What an awful tie.

What a stupid publicity stunt. Jaguar better show the damn car and stop this nonsense.

In any case, I take this hyper-inflation of what is to be expected, as a proof that the car will be already dated from day one, and JLR hopes to jump start the sales with just marketing moves.

What an awful tie.

Back to the 20th century, just like the car?

The reveal is being streamed live, tonight, at 1915 BST/2015 CET.

Meh. I see this as being no worse than Mercedes with the AMG GT.

Hmmm...

Perhaps the term "splendid" was used a bit prematurely. "Pleasant" may be more appropriate. And apparently a tad short of "extraordinary". Still...perhaps an attractive alternative for those a bit tired of the "usual German suspects".

Quick someone our moderator has been hacked!

 

[Star&Car]

This just doesn't look like a new generation Jaguar should have looked like so far.

Let us hope there is no "fappening" of Giannis....

 

[Merc1]

It really does look like a baby XJ.

This car better be really good to compensate all this fuss.

Apparently, according to Autocar, higher-powered derivatives of the XE will be offered with Jaguar's existing 3/4 V8 - the supercharged V6. That's a lot of unnecessary metal to carry around in your smallest saloon.

You know the idioms "not the sharpest tool in the shed" and "a sandwich short of a picnic"?

I've a new one just for Jaguar engineers: "two pots short of a V8".

Can you explain what you mean? It's competitors have 3.0L forced induction engines too..
