We'll see how this goes. I worked on the next XJ programme from 2014 to 2016 as a design & safety cell engineer, went it entered development hell.

It was codenamed X360, while this new vehicle is now called "X391". For reference, outgoing car was "X351". The sleek and regal XJ of the late 90s and early 2000s was known as "X308".

It was a privilege early on, to be involved in such a landmark vehicle programme that is a brand's flag bearer.

That's most likely because it's using the shell of the current body. I don't see any indication of an exhaust system. Probably just testing the EV powertrain in a mule

I don't know about you guys, but I would LOVE to drive this car around in its current paint job. Yeah, I know, it's to confuse the competition from sussing out all the lines and such from photos, but in a parking lot or on the highway this car would certainly stand out!

On the option list I think I'd call it "Digital Camo."

Oh, and I'd also add spinners on the wheels. You probably couldn't stare at the thing for more than a few seconds.

Jill would say that the huge size gives it more prestige than ever - and that is true - but will it sell relative to its peers for once?
