One look through our collection of new Jaguar inventory and it will be obvious that this is a brand with a solid foundation in design and performance. Jaguar models have always been considered unique for their looks and ability but as a company, Jaguar has never been known as a powerhouse of innovation like other German and Japanese brands. That may soon change as the company has just announced that it will be building a cutting-edge research and development center at the company headquarters in the UK.
Jaguar officials have said that the brand will devote fifty million pounds, or $80,345,000 U.S. dollars to building the new R&D facility. Here at Jaguar Houston Central we have a feeling that this effort will go a long way towards putting Jaguar invention on the map.
Jaguar Land Rover Director of Research and Technology, Wolfgang Epple, commented on these most recent announcements, saying, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."1
If Jaguar falls in lockstep with the tech developments taking place within other companies we can certainly expect to see more hybrid, electric and self-driving vehicles coming out of this new facility.
