Following in the footsteps of prestigious automobile names such as Audi, Ferrari, Porsche and others lending their names to the development of luxurious yachts, Jaguar recently decided to embark on a publicity stunt combining luxury car and yacht.
In this case, it is not the production of a Jaguar boat rather, Ian Callum, chief designer, chose a marketing approach to demonstrate the affiliation between the new Jaguar XF Sportbrake and the Lifestyle of the clientele for this type of shooting-brake (station wagon).
To produce the concept, Jaguar collaborated with Seventy Seven Design and Ivan Erdevicki Naval Architecture & Yacht Design.
The design of the Speedboat makes passing glances to a number of classic models from the British marque most notably the Jaguar D-Type racing car produced from 1954 to 1957.
The Speedboat includes:
– A fibreglass hull;
– A natural teak bridge;
– A Jaguar D-Type inspired fin;
– A polished aluminium propeller;
– Jaguar XJ sourced fuel filler caps;
– A red coloured cabin inspired from Jaguar sport cars.
Finally, this styling study will quite possibly never lead to a Jaguar production yacht.
