Dear Raquelle,

Jaguar's XKR just became more exciting! The new Portfolio edition is making its North American Debut at this month's New York International Auto Show. This stunning vehicle, all in black, offers XKR's lightweight aluminum construction — which enhances driving dynamics and braking — and the muscular power of a supercharged 4.2-litre V8, then adds distinctive trim and luxury touches. Outside, 20-inch Cremona five-spoke wheels, Celestial Black paint, and polished side vents. Inside, spun alloy or satin American Walnut veneers, and a new Bowers & Wilkins speaker system crafted exclusively for the Portfolio. Exclusively available for order on a limited basis at your Jaguar dealer now.

The form, the drama, the strength, the technology and the amazing use of light in the new Jaguar C-XF concept are all captured in an exhilarating film short entitled The Future Now, available for viewing or download from Jaguar Design Briefings. Set to music by the band 120 Days, with a remix by DJ T.A. Kaukolampi, this stirring, stylish footage reinforces C-XF's striking freshness, and marks it as the new direction of Jaguar design.

Responding to detectors in the rearview mirror mount, Jaguar's rain-sensing wipers continuously monitor amounts of precipitation and set speed and frequency to match. Automatically. Another example of Jaguar's use of intelligent technology to benefit the driver without complicating the drive. Standard on XK, XJ, S-TYPE and X-TYPE Sportwagon, and available on X-TYPE as an option.
