LAS VEGAS, November 2, 2004 – Jaguar North America is planning to offer its X-TYPE owners a chance to pump-up and show-off a little more muscle.

To showcase the range of components that could be available, Jaguar and bonspeed® today unveil a bold, dramatic ‘bonspeed® 3.0 X-TYPE’ concept at the 2004 SEMA specialty equipment show in Las Vegas.

It's too "bottom heavy" in front, looks very odd

Well spotted Ashok. It does need to be levelled out at the back.

I honestly think they choose the wrong colour. If you are trying to build a menacing Jaguar it has to be black!

Actually I like the colour. I even like the body kit. What's wrong with me?

The lower grill at the front is way too big, it becomes to much of a focul point and distracts from the rest of the car.

Meh. It's still a Ford Mondeo in a bargain rack tuxedo.

If Jag produced the Concept 8 sedan, I'd be all over it.

I really like the Concept Eight.

Jaguar wants to use aluminum in more cars. The 2006 X150 (the next XK) will use the XJ's aluminum chassis.
