Jaguar XJ Spied! 2010 Jaguar XJ @ Nurburgring

Already announced for production at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, the 2010 Jaguar XJ Sedan is in the final stages of development before its official debut this summer. Our spy shooters caught up with a prototype as it lapped the Nürburgring test track in Germany.

Extensive camouflage does a good job of covering up this test mule's new shape. From what we can see, the new XJ will be wider and longer than the current model. It will also have a more streamlined shape, as the windshield has a more aggressive angle compared to the current model. A teaser Web site has been set up by Jaguar, but it doesn't provide any additional detail.

Jaguar has confirmed that the XJ will continue to use aluminum construction. Combined with the company's new, more powerful 5.0-liter V8 engines, this XJ should fare well against the likes of BMW's 7 Series and the upcoming 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

An official debut is scheduled for July 9, with sales in Europe beginning late this year. U.S. sales are expected to begin in early 2010.
