Jag speedboat

In October, Jaguar Cars unveiled its Concept Speedboat to showcase the design DNA of the British premium luxury and sports car manufacturer on the water.

"The Concept Speedboat looks powerful. It follows, in so many ways, the idea of a traditional speedboat but with the sleek and fast characteristics that you would expect from a Jaguar Car," explains Jaguar Director of Design, Ian Callum, who is at the forefront of the Concept Speedboat.

Jaguar Cars consulted with Ivan Erdevicki Naval Architecture & Yacht Design Inc. and a bespoke design project management company Seventy Seven Design.

The Concept Speedboat has a gelcoat fibreglass hull topped with teak decking, split by a carbon fibre fin inspired by the iconic Jaguar D-Type. The front of the boat flows seamlessly into the screen, while the ‘cabin’ follows the sporting character of Jaguar cars.

Jaguar Cars' heritage is also subtly recognised with fuel filler caps inspired by the Series 1 XJ. A polished aluminium propeller and pop-up mooring post imitates how the boat could be powered and docked respectively.

The Concept Speedboat by Jaguar Cars is a design project that was commissioned to support the launch of the new XF Sportbrake car. Unfortunately, the company has no plans to build or commercialise a boat of any kind.
