Videos: Lana Del Ray “Burning Desire”

At this point, we’ll probably never get the official version of Lana Del Ray x The Kickdrums x A$AP Rocky’s record Ridin, but the Born to Die singer is still worth checking for. Her sultry vocals shine in her latest visuals for Burning Desire, a track from an upcoming short film, titled Desire. Inspired by the 60s, this video was shot at the Rivoli ballroom in South London. As for the prominent placement of the new Jaguar F-Type, the carmaker tapped the songstress for their new ad campaign. Enjoy.

Video: Jaguar C-X16 Sports Coupe Concept

This is Jaguar's Porsche Cayman-fighting two-seater – a Jaguar coupe you can actually afford. Powered by a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 putting out 376 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, the C-X16 concept takes Jaguar's great heritage of supercharging into the next century with the addition of a "Push to Pass" hybrid system controlled through a steering wheel-mounted button.

Rides: The Future of Jaguar Sports Cars

http://theblueprintmagazine.com/images_frt/107_jagc16.jpg

Jaguar is so far under-performing, recording a 27% sales drop in the first quarter of the year. Indian owner Tata Motors is determined though to turn its fortunes around by investing US$2.5 billion annually for the next five years in the British luxury carmaker and its Land Rover stable mate in order to develop 40 new models and variants.

A spiritual successor to the legendary E-Type is certainly a good start: a modern sports coupe along with a roadster variant boasting compact dimensions and 21st century design and driving dynamics. [See & Read More]

This is the new Jaguar concept that's coming to Frankfurt. It's simply stunning. It's reminiscent of the E-type without being retro, and up to date without being trendy.

The front looks like what the SLS AMG's front should have looked like, the profile is pure classic Jag, and the rear is sporty and modern. Design-wise, this car is damn near perfect...so it had better have the power to back it up.

My favorite Jaguar of all time is the XJ 220 but that is about to change. Now my favorite Jaguar is the $1.3 million CX 75 Hybrid Supercar. As a concept car it was breathtaking and in production form it will more of the same with its exotic looks and speed: just 3 seconds to sixty. Like the supercar XJ 220, this supercar Jag will also have a staggering top speed in excess of 200 mph.

As stunning as Jaguar's C-X75 concept was during its multiple appearances this Auto Show season, few held their breath that the brand would actually build it. But much to the surprise of many an industry doubter comes word that the carbon fiber chassis, 200 mph+ two seater—that can reportedly launch from 0-60 in just 3 seconds—is slated for production.

Jaguar has gone on the record to state that the production C-X75 will remain "true to concept", which means we can expect it to look very close to the prototype that first whipped our heads. If you're infatuated, get your money right and get on line. The C-X75 will sell for £700,000 (roughly $1.15 million USD) and only 200 will be built. [See More]

Rides: Jaguar XKR-S Super Coupe

There's not a whole lot to report on the Jaguar XKR-S, and maybe that's a good thing. Pound for pound against it's "twin" Aston Martin, the standard XKR is one of the best performance automotive bargains on the market right now. But yes, it's only about to get better, and we're not sure we can handle it.

Next up in early news from the Geneva Auto Show is word of a more powerful version of Jaguar's streamlined coupe - the XKR-S. We can tell you this; the revamped Jag will pump out an astounding 550 horsepower, 502 lb-ft of torque, and have a top speed of 186 mph. [See & Read More]
