As promised, the British launched the Jaguar XJ with main features of the new model, like the aluminum body (which makes the car easier to 150kg from its competitors), but the engine is from the third generation. There is therefore a V6 diesel of 3.0 liters of the 52,500 pounds, a 5.0-liter V8 inspired by 385CP, also a supercharged V8 of 5.0 liters, but 510 HP and a version of the 470 hp same V8.
Jaguar’s lightweight technology is unique in the automobile industry since the XK comes as a complete aluminum monocoque structure as distinct from an aluminum space frame with separate panels. It’s the type of body construction more often seen in the aerospace industry (albeit now with carbon fiber, as in Boeing’s new 787).
The joints in the new XK body shell are formed using Jaguar’s unique combination of riveting and bonding, and using self-piercing rivets applied by hydraulic pressure against a fixed tool produces most joints.
Where access to only one side of the joint is possible, as in some of the new extended box sections, a new riveting process has been developed; and where particularly high stiffness is required in a joint, a combination of riveting and bonding is used – with the adhesive bond in effect creating a continuous joint that is stronger than a similar, riveted-only joint.
