ENGLEWOOD JAGUAR AT THE GREATER ENGLEWOOD AUTO SHOW

The weather was perfect: sunny and in the upper 70s. The perfect day for an outdoor car show. On Saturday, May 3rd,  the city of Englewood welcomed all to The Greater Englewood Car Show. Not only did area auto dealers come with their newest models, Classic Jaguar owners also came out to display their prized Jaguars. The show was located in the parking area in front of the John Harms Theater between Dean and Van Brunt Streets.

JAGUAR XKR FEATURED IN BOND FILM
"DIE ANOTHER DAY"

The Jaguar XKR makes a high-profile appearance in the new James Bond film Die Another Day – as the vehicle driven by the film's villain, Zao, played by Rick Yune. The looks and sporting character of the XKR made it an obvious choice for this action-packed movie – and the villainous Zao was quick to appreciate his choice of car.
But seductive styling alone doesn't give Bond's adversaries the edge over 007 they're looking for, which meant some serious modifications were needed. In addition to the obvious visual differences to a standard XKR, Zao's Jaguar bristles with an array of weaponry that includes a Gatling gun centered behind the driver and passenger seats, missiles that emerge from the front grille, concealed door-mounted rocket launchers and a rack of mortar bombs in the boot. The XKR also features a bulletproof screen to keep Bond's bullets at bay.

The Jaguar XKRs used in the film were built at Jaguar's HQ in Coventry, UK, and then worked on at Pinewood Studios, England, UK, by the special effects team to complete the conversion from sleek road-going sports car to menacing mean machine. In all, eight Jaguar XKRs were used in the filming of Die Another Day.

A television advertisement depicting the role of the Jaguar XKR in Die Another Day, which is to be released on November 22, will be aired from the beginning of November in the UK, United States, Germany and Australia. 

While Jaguar has no plans to produce Die Another Day XKRs for sale, the equally stunning standard model is available for sale. The Jaguar XKR Convertible is powered by a 4.2-liter, 400-horsepower AJ-V-8 engine. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
A Sneak Peek at the New XJ Sedan Coming to Englewood Jaguar in Spring of 2003

The introduction of any new XJ range opens a fresh chapter in the story of the Jaguar marque. Against a background of significant growth – in 2001 Jaguar’s annual global sales passed 100,000 for the first time, and this year will show another strong increase – the new XJ model remains quintessentially true to the core strengths and values that have made generations of the car so popular. For more than three decades, the XJ has been the definitive Jaguar saloon.

Working with the most advanced technologies ever used by Jaguar, the XJ programme team has created a car that blends the ultra-modern with traditional Jaguar values. Lightweight aluminum construction provides new levels of strength, robustness and dynamic ability.
