Classic Inside – The Classic Driver Newsletter "Excerpted"

The world’s motor industry is gathered in Detroit for the next 10 days or so, and the highlight so far has to be the new Jaguar sports car. Dubbed ‘Advanced Lightweight Coupé’, the car is staking a claim to be the heir to the company’s racing cars of the early ‘60s, designed then with input from Jaguar’s renowned aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer. It’s a tough looking machine that productionising will make into a viable alternative in the 911/6-Series/AMV8 category. It would also make a useful GT racing car – pity for all the Jaguar fans out there that Aston Martin got there first with the DBR9!
