Jaguar C-X16: The new E-Type?





I KNOW I'M not a fan of teaser shots and sketches, but I like this one.



This is all that Jaguar's prepared to reveal right now about the C-X16, a new sports car it's promising to unveil at next month's Frankfurt Motorshow, and already rumours are rife in Internetdom that it's either a) the first clue as to how the current XK's successor will shape up, or b) the "small sports car" owners Tata have been dropping hints about for ages.



Ian Callum, Director of Design at Jaguar Cars said:



"Great Jaguars have always been beautiful, innovative and have looked firmly to the future. The finished C-X16 concept has the potential to do these things while retaining the ability to surprise, to excite and invigorate."



For my money, it looks a little like the old Aston Martin DB7, but that's not a bad thing.



Is it a true E-Type successor? Watch this space...
