Mmm. Nice. The lovechild of an F-Type and a Maclaren.

Will have a tiny boot if it's mid-engined.

Looks a bit like the C-X75 which was amazing and Jaguar should be ashamed for not selling a design like that. Hopefully a car like that will be available.

Tiny boot, but potentially lots of storage in the front?

I think the CX-75, amazing though it was, coincided with the global banking meltdown so Jaguar felt there'd be no buyers. The Jaguar name doesn't have the same money attraction as Ferrari or Lambo, unjustified though that is. I guess you don't want to be seen looking for value for money if you're that rich.

That is ace, just the right mix of current F Type cues and totally new look. Whatever power unit gets used, I just hope it incorporates at least a V6, we still need the sound.

Not really shure what I think? Looks good, but is it the "right" look of a Jaguar?
I don't think any Jaguar designers stands behind any of this, and certainly not Ian Callum.
When they do I think it will look a lot different and not so like so many other modern sports-/supercars.
And I hope they keep making fun cars to drive with personality, and not something where the main aim is to beat others sportscars on a race track. That can easilly result in a rather booring and uninvolving car to drive on ordinary roads - were most of us drives our cars 99.x% of the time.
I think I will be very happy keeping my "old but challenging and involving" MY15 rwd R for many, many years to come

First thought - ooh yes, looks good.

Second thought - do hope the reversing camera is standard

Shut up and take my money!!! It is B E A utiful.

This car needs to happen! If Jaguar want to keep F-Type customers in the brand they need new exciting models like this for us to aspire/upgrade to.

This new F-Type/J-Type would be my perfect next car, I’m not a Mcclaren fan so only real options would be an R8, AMG GT or GT3 (which i wouldn’t be allowed to buy anyway because I’m not a SPECIAL customer).

Fingers Crossed Jag step up.

If they make that with a V6 or hybrid i will buy it if it's not too expensive. It looks amazing.
