(from Jaguar Press Release) Jaguar North America is planning to offer its X-TYPE owners a chance to pump-up and show-off a little more muscle.
The company teamed-up with leading California speed and design studio, bonspeed®, to create a new range of body styling, suspension and braking equipment for Jaguar’s all-wheel-drive X-TYPE premium compact sedan.
To showcase the range of components that could be available, Jaguar and bonspeed® today unveil a bold, dramatic ‘bonspeed® 3.0 X-TYPE’ concept at the 2004 SEMA specialty equipment show in Las Vegas.
Among the features of the bonspeed® X-TYPE:
-
Aggressive, racecar-inspired body kit
-
Integrated rear deck spoiler
-
Dramatic ‘Match Head Red’ paint
-
19-inch bonspeed® forged alloy wheels
-
Tubular trailing arm rear suspension
-
Koni adjustable shocks, Eibach springs
-
Baer 13-inch cross-drilled brake rotors
-
Engine tuning to give extra 30bhp
-
Real carbon fiber dash and gear surround
-
Recaro F1 sports seats
-
Sony 1200 watt audio system
"bonspeed® has done a great job in showing that the X-TYPE has the potential to be a tough, but sophisticated-looking tuner project car," says C.J. O’Donnell, Executive Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Communications, Jaguar North America.
"And, with a significant number of Jaguar X-TYPEs joining our award-winning Select Edition certified pre-owned program next year, it will be even easier for younger buyers to get into an X-TYPE than ever before," continued O'Donnell.
