Speedback echoes Brit GTs: New retro GT uses Jaguar XKR mechanicals and high-tech production methods; set for April debut

摘要

British businessman David Brown has revealed a new sports car based on a Jaguar XKR and inspired by retro GTs from the 1960s. Brown, who is no relation to the David Brown of Aston Martin fame, will launch the new car, called the Speedback GT, at the Top Marques show in Monaco on 17 April. The Speedback uses hand-formed aluminium panels mounted on the platform and mechanical package of a Jaguar XKR. Management and designers from Jaguar have seen the Speedback and declared themselves happy with the project.
