So how do we know it's a Hybrid? It could be a 12-Cylinder model, R model, diesel etc... or just a new trim level!

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Jaguar V12...Now that would be interesting.

Strange, the car looks better with that camo on...

Lol...That is so cruel!

Lol...That is so cruel!

Yet so true!

More Details On Jaguar's Hybrid Moves--Could Be As Early As 2013

The luxury green legion is soon to grow one larger, as the culmination Jaguar's efforts to develop hybrid drive systems is nearing fruition. Having worked on projects like the Limo-Green joint effort with Lotus Engineering, Jaguar could be less than three years away from offering hybrid variants of its XF and XJ sedans.

The latest word is that Jaguar will have the cars on the streets by 2013-2014, with the XJ to get the hybrid system first. Jag's hybrids could even be diesel-electric, as demonstrated by current prototype cars. Whether it ends up being diesel-electric or gasoline-electric in the U.S., though, it's likely to start as a conventional hybrid, moving to a plug-in hybrid system around 2015.

The lithium-ion battery pack in the plug-in is expected to deliver up to 20 miles of electric-only driving, pushing CO2 emissions below 160 grams per mile. The move parallels plans at sister company Land Rover, where the big luxury SUVs will get similar systems.
