| | 2007 Jaguar XK8 Technical Preview (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Case in point: Jags, of course, are supposed to showcase elegance and sophistication, so Matkin and his team spent an incredible amount of time engineering the XK's chassis, interior and sound absorption materials to make the new sports car's cabin as calm and peaceful as possible. |
 | | And while on the subject of costs, Matkin claims that the entire XK design was performed on a computer, with only the cloth roof of the convertible, prototyped during the initial design phase, falling outside this system. |
 | | Jaguar's solution is to have sensors in the front bumper that determine if a pedestrian has indeed been struck and then triggers two pyrotechnical charges that instantaneously lift the front hood, providing extra distance between engine and head. |
