Jaguar Cars Ltd, known simply as Jaguar (c-eniconˈdʒæɡjuː.ər ), is a British luxury car manufacturer, headquartered in Whitley, Coventry, England. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Indian company Tata Motors Ltd, it is operated as part of the Jaguar Land Rover business.

Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Sir William Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before evolving into passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after WWII to avoid the unfavourable connotations of the SS initials. Following a merger with the British Motor Corporation in 1968, subsequently subsumed by Leyland, which itself was later nationalised as British Leyland, Jaguar was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1984, and became a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index until it was acquired by Ford in 1989. Jaguar has, in recent years, manufactured cars for the Prime Minister, the most recent delivery being of an XJ model on 11 May 2010. The company also holds Royal Warrants from HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Charles.

Jaguar cars today are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centres at the Whitley plant in Coventry and at their Gaydon site in Warwickshire, and are manufactured in Jaguar's Castle Bromwich assembly plant near Birmingham.

Jaguar Cars Video

Brian records the starting of the Gumball 3000 Rally in San Francisco, CA. First the video shows a few cars in the fairmont garage, then I record cars arriving and at the show. Then I record the exotics leaving, revving, burning out, and flooring it as they go. Enjoy and be sure to watch in high quality. Here is a list of the supercars in the rally, most likely multiple numbers of each: Gumpert Apollo Ferrari Enzo Jaguar XJ220 Mercedes SLR Mclaren Porsche Carrera GT ( stock and awe tuning straight pipes exhaust ) Ford GT Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe Lambo Murcielago Lambo Gallardo Coupe and Spyder Ferrari 430 Scuderia Ferrari F430 Coupe and Spider Ferrari 360 Modena Tubi Ferrari 328 Koenig Bodied Twin Turbo Testarossa 512TR Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 Aston Martin DB9 Coupe Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster Lotus Elise and Exige Maserati Granturismo Porsche GT2 996tt 997tt gt3 carrera etc. Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe RR Phantom BMW M5 and M6 Audi R8 Tesla Roadster Audi RS4 and S5 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Bentley Cont.

7.45 min. | 4.26 user rating		 In the Jaguar commercial "Machines," we learn that there is one machine unlike any other. A machine as alive as we are. There are machines that can do things for us. Machines that can make things for us. Machines that can see right through us. And machines, that want to be us, want to replace us, but they are not us. There is one machine that makes us greater. A machine so instinctive, so seductive, it's as alive as we are. It doesn't click, or buzz. It roars. Jaguar.
