Jaguar today reveals details for a new range of styling enhancements
for the 2005 X-TYPE 3.0-liter Sport, which will be available in
November 2004. This exciting addition of exterior body styling
and interior enhancements provides a stylish differentiation for
the X-TYPE, and is targeted primarily at the younger buyer.
Jaguar Design Director, Ian Callum said, "Body-styling
kits must be designed as an integral part of the car. The rationale
was to emphasize the stance of the X-TYPE by lowering the visual
aspect. The enhancements we have made for the X-TYPE Sport give
the car a more aggressive, purposeful look. The whole attitude
of the car has been lowered, giving the impression it is hugging
the road."
The enhancements give the X-TYPE Sport a more athletic, sportier
appearance with a new front lower spoiler, black mesh grille
and lower 'infill' grille. In keeping with the new front-end
section, the design team has also lowered the side sills and
added a new, lower rear valence to ensure that the more squat,
purposeful stance is noticeable from all angles. The X-TYPE
Sport also gets new exhaust tailpipe finishers and stylish,
18-inch Aruba wheels to complete the look. The interior of the
X- TYPE Sport can be fitted with the optional carbon fiber facia
and new plush Alcantara seating surfaces.
Pricing as well as full 2005 model year X-TYPE details will
be confirmed closer to the vehicle's on-sale date.
