The XF's supervisor planner Ian Callum primary applied for a job in Panther designing at age 12 as a kid in Dumfries, Scotland, and has longed for an possibility to refashion the call e'er since. And it looks as if he's successfully through so here, combining product from the big production of past Panther designing cues (especially the 1959 Cat Mk. II) with latest joyfulness for a sedan modified to a coupe roof road. You can see the Jaguar XF's modernism in its strikingness, the way the deceiver hang has been pulled indorse, the wheelbase lengthened and then the arc of the roof modified to very immediate angles for the screen and backlight (monovular angles to those of the Panther XK coupe, in fact). There's something of the Lexus GS in the XF's coverall graphic, but the Cat's detailing makes the number between model and absorption, and you can see it in the modeling of the goon, the plate signification, but, real, this has been the Cat way since the seminal 1935 SS sports car.
