Jaguar is making a distinct effort to refresh its old English image with the foreword of the 2011 XJ, the luxury carmaker's flagship model. Constructed from 50 percent recycled aluminum, the XJ is something of a lightweight compared to earlier iterations.It’s riveted and glue-bonded unibody—derived from aerospace technology—creates for a lighter weight skin than steel without compromising safety, increasing the vehicle's efficiency tenfold. The use of aluminum keeps six tons of carbon per vehicle over its lifetime.
In the future, Jaguar aims to raise the ratio of recycled aluminum to 75 percent. The greener engineering is in line with the XJ's legacy of performance.
While the 2011 XJ has been turning heads in Los Angeles for a three-month long City Takeover, the company also engaged in an effort to recognize the waste that each vehicle spawns. Starting at $72,500, the new XJ series will be offered this fall.
