The much-anticipated...
The much-anticipated model - identified by the "D" on the bootlid - should achieve at least 35mpg, thanks in part to its lightweight aluminium chassis. Powered by a modified version of the 204bhp 2.7-litre twin-turbo V6 from the S-Type, the XJ D will be no slouch. Fitted with the S"s automatic gearbox and boasting around 435Nm of torque, expect the car to hit 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Impressive mid-range acceleration and a top speed in excess of 140mph are also on the cards.

The 6.0-litre engine provides 414bhp, and with a soundtrack like this we can hardly wait to get behind the wheel.
