March 8, 2012 by Jaguar

• Full Jaguar Land Rover 2012 model year line-up available for drive experience

• Jaguar C-X16 on display during event

Mahwah, NJ. (Thursday, March 8, 2012) – For the first time at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, Jaguar Land Rover is proud to offer a complimentary drive experience to all attendees on a first come, first serve basis. Guests will be able to test the capabilities of the full 2012 line-up, including the all-new Jaguar XKR-S and Range Rover Evoque.

To schedule a drive, please visit the Jaguar Land Rover display by the main entrance of the Ritz-Carlton between 2pm and 5pm on Thursday, March 8, as well as between 9am and 5pm on Friday, March 9th and Saturday, March 10th.

Also in attendance is Julian Thomson, Head of the Advanced Design Studio at Jaguar, to showcase the stunning C-X16 concept vehicle - Jaguar's compelling vision for the 21st century.

The Jaguar C-X16 concept is a bold statement of Jaguar's future design and technological intent. The C-X16 takes the traditional front-engined, rear-wheel drive formula that Jaguar defined over decades and reinvents it for the 21st century in a performance-oriented hybrid drivetrain with 50:50 weight distribution. If anything can be said to define Jaguar design it is one word: drama. The C-X16 is no exception, taking the traditional two-seater sports car template and redefining it in the Jaguar idiom.

The 2012 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will officially take place on Sunday, March 11 with supporting events beginning on Thursday, March 8. For more information on the event, please visit www.ameliaconcours.org.
