After a pretty good year to Jaguar, with the XK and XF selling well and the new flagship XJ introduced, set to go on sale this year, a sports car – the rumored Jaguar sportscar we have been hearing about for years  – makes its way to production. A sportscar for Jaguar has been rumored throughout the 2000s while the British brand was under Ford’s ownership. Now, under the ownership of India’s Tata Group, the head of the company Ratan Tata is pushing for one to be built.

The kitty will be a two-seater, based on an aluminum monocoque like its larger brother the XK and slated to be a 2012 model. Under the hood,  there will purr a turbocharged V-6 based off of the company’s V-8 architecture.

Can’t wait to see this feline tip-top through the city jungle.
