Jaguar XJ Portfolio 2009

Jaguar’s commitment to creating beautiful, fast cars continues with the introduction of the new XJ Portfolio – first revealed on the Super V8 Portfolio special edition in 2005.

Already renowned for its all-aluminum body construction, state-of-the-art technologies and outstanding craftsmanship and build quality, the new XJ Portfolio is now even more desirable thanks to its unique exterior and interior styling cues.

Luxury, elegance and dynamic performance are XJ signatures. The XJ Portfolio adds a host of bespoke design cues and styling features that set it apart. The exterior is painted in either Celestial Black or Astral Gold, with contrasting side power vents in milled aluminum. A distinctive profile is completed by new 20″ Selena alloy wheels featuring red Jaguar ‘Heritage’ center badges.

XJ Portfolio’s dynamic excellence is underpinned by XJ’s all-aluminum monocoque body construction and highly advanced chassis and suspension. Lightness with strength and exceptional rigidity provide a platform for remarkable agility and performance, as well as safety, improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and a self-leveling air suspension ensure impeccable control and a ride that is involving yet composed and refined.

In the U.S., the 2009MY XJ Portfolio is available with Jaguar’s highly acclaimed 4.2-liter V8 supercharged (400bhp SAE) or the naturally aspirated V8 engine. In either derivative, the XJ Portfolio offers effortless performance and exceptional refinement.

XJ Portfolio’s individuality is further reflected in a luxurious interior characterized by premium quality materials and exquisite attention to detail. The hand-crafted Rich Oak veneer is new to XJ Portfolio, and there is the choice of two unique interior themes – Navy or Ivory. Each features contrast piping to the softgrain leather upholstery, special twin-stitched door casings and headrests embossed with the Jaguar ‘Leaper’ design. The alloy gear selector, with aluminum gearshift surround, is also trimmed with Navy leather, and there are ‘Portfolio’ branded treadplates and special leather-edged carpet mats.

And XJ Portfolio’s premium specification includes individually heated and cooled front seats; 7-inch Touch-screen operation of the satellite navigation, Jaguar premium sound and dual-zone climate control systems; Bluetooth® connectivity for up to five separate telephones; JaguarVoiceTM, Adaptive Cruise Control, and rear multimedia system with DVD player and twin display screens (depending on market).

Jaguar 2009 Arden AJ14 Noble Cat XJ 358

Arden is expanding its exclusive range of accessories for the Jaguar XJ 358. From now on there is a modern front-end conversion and a sporty-elegant rear diffuser available.

The new front look is given a sporty touch by two spoiler lips installed at the side under the fog lights, but is dominated by the LED daytime running lights shining brightly in the air inlets. These lights bracket the newly designed central stainless steel grille, which is made of the same high-grade material as the current Arden radiator grille. The finishing touches to the new look are provided by the well-known, TÜV-tested Arden Jaguar Leaper.

When the Jaguar makes the impressive appearance seen in the rear view mirror disappear by powering past, there is still the view of the powerful rear-end to enjoy. Here, the new Arden diffuser guarantees increased downforce without losing the elegant design. The additional grip generated this way contributes to more sporty and safer driving behaviour.

The classic appearance of the XJ 358 is consolidated by the “Zelem One” rim presented in the last issue of “Arden InSide”, and underlined by the rear muffler that fits exactly into the diffuser.

Jaguar Supercharged Neiman Marcus Edition XJL 2010

Jaguar announced the 2010 Jaguar XJL Supercharged Neiman Marcus Edition, exclusively through the celebrated Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. The Neiman Marcus XJL Supercharged is powered by a new third-generation 5-liter V-8 engine with an Eaton supercharger that delivers 470 horsepower and also features the Jaguar Sequential Shift™ six-speed ZF automatic transmission that adapts to its driver, with wheel-mounted shift paddles for sport, standard, and winter mode driving.

The all-new 2010 Jaguar XJL Supercharged Neiman Marcus Edition, comes in an exclusive Celestial Black metallic paint exterior and a custom butter-soft navy and ivory leather interior with Zebrano matte wood accents. The Neiman Marcus Edition XJL also has 20″ double-10 spoke polished alloy wheels, illuminated tread plates and trunk finisher as well as the nameplate on the custom interior Intaglio that reads: “Neiman Marcus 1 of 50.”

This is the third time a Jaguar has been selected as the featured vehicle in the Book. In 1968, the Jaguar XKE Grand Touring Coupe was featured, and most recently, the 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible. There will be only 50 Neiman Marcus Editions made, and Jaguar and Neiman Marcus expect them to sell out fast. For those not lucky enough to reserve one of these 50 Neiman Marcus Editions, the XJ arrives in showrooms nationwide in early 2010.
