Team-orders drama hands Wehrlein a controversial Formula E title

Formula E's London finale was defined by team orders from Porsche and Jaguar that shaped the championship: Pascal Wehrlein used pole and key strategy to lead after race one, while race two featured go-slow tactics and a late clash that knocked rival Dennis from contention. Despite a five-second penalty, Wehrlein clinched his second title as rivals accused Porsche and Jaguar of unsporting behavior, delivering a Mario Kart–like weekend that overshadowed pure racing.

Jaguar unveils radical Type 01 EV interior amid mixed reaction

Jaguar has revealed the interior of its upcoming Type 01 electric GT for the first time, showing a radical four-seat cabin built around a central spine, a large driver display, a brass-inspired finish, physical buttons on the wheel and doors, and a cupholderless, minimalist layout with a ClearSight rear-view display. The bold design has sparked social-media debate as Jaguar prepares a full October 6 reveal in New York, with an estimated price around £150,000. A Monterey Car Week prototype with a new wrap will preview the car ahead of its release.

Rare cloud jaguar captured on camera in Honduran mountains signals conservation gains

A legendary high-altitude jaguar known as the cloud jaguar was captured on camera in Honduras’ Sierra del Merendón on Feb. 6, marking the first confirmed sighting there in a decade. Conservation group Panthera credits the sighting to years of habitat protection, anti-poaching efforts, and a broader recovery in large cats, as deforestation pressures ease in part due to Honduras’ Zero Deforestation Plan 2029. Authorities have boosted forest protection and reintroduction of prey species, while experts caution that jaguar connectivity across Honduras and Guatemala remains critical to the species’ broader recovery.

Rare cloud jaguar sighting in Honduran highlands boosts conservation optimism

Cameras captured a lone male jaguar, nicknamed the “cloud jaguar,” at about 2,200 meters in Honduras’ Sierra del Merendón—the first high-elevation jaguar sighting there in a decade. Conservationists say the sighting signals that habitat protection and wildlife corridors, like the Jaguar Corridor Initiative linking Honduras and Guatemala, may support big-cat recovery, though deforestation and prey loss remain ongoing threats. Honduras has protected cloud forests since 1987 and is expanding conservation efforts, including a planned Wildlife Refuge Guanales, as part of broader regional jaguar protection efforts that also saw a Mexico jaguar population increase and a new international framework to safeguard the species.

How Emissions and Weight Drove the XJ220 from V12 Dream to Turbo V6 Reality

Jaguar’s XJ220 began as a V12, all-wheel-drive supercar with a 220 mph goal, but weight, tightening emissions rules, and cost pressures forced a switch to a rear‑wheel‑drive twin‑turbo 3.5L V6 (from the Metro 6R4) delivering about 542 hp and a 217 mph top speed; many orders were canceled, only 281 cars were built, and the model’s reputation suffered for decades before renewed appreciation.

Jaguar's EV-Upscale Bet Faces Dealer Doubts and Lease-Only Plan

Jaguar's EV-Upscale Bet Faces Dealer Doubts and Lease-Only Plan

Jaguar is pivoting to an EV-only, low-volume, high-margin future aimed at rivaling Bentley, reportedly leasing rather than selling its new electric grand tourer to control the used-car market. The plan targets around 10,000 units per year with order books opening around a $130k price tag; dealers express uncertainty about a viable business case and the brand's future customer base, while Jaguar trains dealers and prepares to reveal the Type 00 prototype later this year, with the first production model expected in late 2025. The shift could alienate current buyers but may carve a niche among ultra-wealthy customers if successful.
