RRS into the future

Stolen from another site! Embarassed

Well here is some info i got for you guys!!

Following Wednesday's announcement that Jaguar and Land Rover officially belonged to India's Tata Motors, the luxury marques' future product plans were leaked. The plans continue all the way up to 2016 — although Tata has only agreed to guaranteed the next five years of production plans — and show some radical changes for the brands.

AutoWeek claims to have the inside goods on future Jaguar and Land Rover products, and here is what they say is in the works.

2009

Jaguar
For 2009, Jaguar will roll out R versions of its all-new XF sedan and XK roadster — nothing really newsworthy there. But according to AutoWeek, one car will use a 5.0L supercharged V8 — with 500 horsepower — and the other will use a naturally aspirated version of the same engine — producing 380 horsepower. However, AutoWeek fails to special which vehicle will receive forced induction. It also seems a bit odd that Jaguar would choose not to used the supercharged mills in both cars.

Land Rover
Changes scheduled for Land Rover next year include a revised Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The SUVs' interiors will get the most attention, but Jag's 5.0L V8 will also be added underhood.

2010

Jaguar
Jaguar will launch its all-new flagship XJ sedan in 2010. The XJ will take on some styling cues from the XF, but will remain more luxury-oriented than the racier XF. The new XJ will remain the same size, but its interior volume should increase thanks to better packaging.

Jaguar's ill-fated X-Type will finally get the ax in 2010.

Land Rover
The LR3 will see a face lift in 2010, with a heavy emphasis on improving interior quality and fit and finish. Jaguar's aforementioned 380 horsepower 5.0L V8 will likely find its way under the 2010 LR3's hood, too.

2011

Land Rover
Land Rover's LRX concept will make production in 2011, but it remains unclear what Land Rover will call it. LR1 is in the mix but could be too entry-level and, on the opposite side of the coin, LR4 could be too up-market. Whatever Land Rover decides the name the SUV, the road-going version of the LRX will have a hybrid option.

2012

Jaguar
Jaguar's long-awaited throw-back sports car will finally make production in 2012. Currently dubbed the F-Type — although the production model could be called the XK-E — Jaguar is currently deciding whether to base the car on the XF or XK.

Land Rover
For 2012, a seven-seater version of the LRX is possible. Details remain scarce, but Land Rover is said to be aiming for the Mini Clubman's uniqueness.

2013

Jaguar
The range-extending Jaguar XF coupe should bow in 2013, although it still needs the green light from its new owners. With the XF sedan bowing this year, it begs the question why the world must wait until 2013 for a two-version. But then again, it took Cadillac this long to produce the CTS coupe. But unlike rumors have indicated, there are no plans for an XF drop-top or wagon.

Land Rover
Land Rover's flagship Range Rover will be completely overhauled for 2013, and the changes will see the SUV become larger and more stylish. Perhaps the most staggering news about the new Range Rover is that it will sticker for an astonishing $200,000, thanks to its Bentley-like appointments. But despite the Range Rover's growth in luxury in size, fuel economy will see an increase — due to the use of light-weight materials and an available hybrid powertrain.

2014

Jaguar
2014 should see an all-new XF, complete with an all-alloy body construction. Little else is known about the next-generation XF but it will be designed along side the 2015 XJ to keep costs down.

Land Rover
An all-new Range Rover Sport will bow in 2014 and will also switch to an all-aluminum body.

A new Land Rover Defender is also a possibility for 2014, although nothing is set in stone. However, Tata is said to be carefully considering the project as the Indian automaker has a growing interest in a rugged 4×4 model that could be sold throughout the world — think Toyota Land Cruiser.

2015-2016

Jaguar
An all-new XJ will join the Jaguar lineup.

Land Rover
Land Rover is due for a new LR3 sometime in 2015 or 2016, although it remains unclear what platform the new SUV will ride on. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Hmmm, whoever gave that info out has probably decamped PDQ to Dearborn or Gothenburg! I have it on impeccable authority that it is remarkably accurate, albeit very sketchy. There is no mention, for example, of drivetrains and hybrid/regenerative technology which are even more exciting than a 500+ bhp V8, nice though that is. Like Jag, the names "Range Rover" and "Land-Rover" will regain their place as iconic vehicles others merely try in vain to imitate. The future is not Orange, it is Dark Green, Gold and White, co-incidentally the colours of the Indian flag!! Cool

Would making the cars out of recycled Cola cans make them any "greener" in the eyes of the tree huggers?. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
