Jaguar F-Type: Does F-Type pricing mean the next XK heading in to Aston Martin territory?

Jaguar has priced the new F-Type at a higher level than we expected. Does that mean the next Jaguar XK is heading upmarket?

A Pagani Zonda R For Sale – Track not included!

A Pagani Zonda R is up for grabs As we reported recently, Pagani has finally got round to officially launching the Pagani Zonda R, the ultimate performance Zonda (not that there’s anything wrong with the performance on the Zonda S or Zonda F or Zonda Cinque or…), which is a pure, track-only version of Pagani’s stunning supercar. As you would expect, there are only going to be a handful of Zonda Rs made and frankly, unless you have your own track (or own your own country), you’re not going to be able to use it to blat down to the pub on a Sunday lunchtime. But that small detail won’t stop the well-heeled petrol-head from digging deep to buy one.
