Jaguar

The Geneva Motor Show is one of the auto industry’s best-known rites of Spring. Every March, the motoring world converges on the lakeside Swiss metropolis to gawk at all the new models (vehicular and otherwise) on neutral ground. It’s absolutely one of the crown jewels of the international auto show calendar.

And because it’s such a prestigious show, the manufacturers tend to bring their best production and concept cars to the Geneva Palexpo. This means picking out the best of the best is a mighty daunting task, which is why we’ve decided to expand the field to 25. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s hop to it.

Jaguar has some big plans for their 2012 models, with performance and driving excitement obviously tantamount to their identity as an automotive company. Even at the low end of their lineup, the base model XF sports a 385 horsepower engine, which is good for sprints from 0-62 mph in just 5.5 seconds. At the upper end of the echelon, the all new Jaguar XKR-S enjoys a 550hp 5.0-liter supercharged V8 which elevates it to the status of a supercar and allows it to run from 0-62 mph in just 4.4 seconds.

And let’s not forget about the new Jaguar C-X16 Concept, which manages to extract 375hp from a 3.0-liter V6 and has the same performance as the XKR-S. In any case, there is no doubt that there is some real excitement behind this brand and Jaguar has come up with several short videos to let folks know what’s up with their big cats.
