Jaguar is working on a 503-hp all-aluminum supercar called the XE to take on the likes of an Audi R8. According to Julian Rendell of AutoWeek (who happens to be familiar of whats pumping in the Jaguar product pipeline) the Jaguar XE is actually a front-engine sports car - not a 200 mph supercar.

Jaguar has yet to sign-off on the project but according sources, that shouldnt be a problem. Rendell says that the car will be more of a Porsche Boxster, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK competitor. Sources tell Rendell that the future of the XE is tied up with the next-generation XK which isnt due until 2012 or 2013.
