We've already played 'show and tell' with Jaguar's C-X75 Concept (read full details here), but now we've got real live photos from the pre-show media event as well as from the British firm's Paris Motor Show stand, plus a trio of videos including one from last night's presentation.

The all-new 2010 Jaguar XJ will be officially launched this Thursday, 9th July at a special event at the Saatchi Gallery in London. The glitzy presentation will be performed by former late-night TV talk-show host and car aficionado, Jay Leno who will be joined by Mike O'Driscoll, Managing Director at Jaguar Cars. You can watch the unveiling of the British firm's all-new luxury saloon live here on Carscoop through a streaming video that we will upload on our site that day.

We can't blame you if you've lost interest in Jaguar's teaser videos on the upcoming 2010 XJ as the British firm hasn't really revealed anything interesting on its new luxury sedan in any of the films. Same goes for the latest video that features Jaguar's chief designer, Ian Callum vaguely talking about the new interior while we also get a quick glimpse of the XJ's front headrests, but that's about it. Watch the video after the jump and stay tuned on Carscoop as Jag's flagship model will be officially launched on Thursday, July 9.

The countdown for the presentation of the all-new Jaguar XJ sedan has begun as in 10 days from now, the British automaker will properly reveal its BMW 7-Series contender in London on July 9. In the meantime, Jaguar continues to bombard us with trivial details on the car. In this latest video, Jaguar's Chief Engineer, Mike Cross talks about the new XJ's driving dynamics and how the car has been designed to be "agile" yet "refined and comfortable". Watch the film after the jump.

In its latest line of releases on the forthcoming 2010 XJ, Jaguar turns its focus on the luxury sedan's aluminum body shell that has apparent advantages in weight savings and consequently, in fuel economy and CO2 emissions. Along with the new video that features Jaguar's Chief Technical Specialist for Body and Engineering, Mark White and the firm's Vehicle Line Director, Mick Mohan, the British automaker also published a new photo depicting the XJ's body shell.

We're still struggling to figure out how the 2010 Jaguar XJ sedan will look like as neither the cryptic teaser photos nor the spy shots of the armor-like camouflaged prototype models are of any help. But we'll soon find out as Jaguar has promised to officially reveal the new XJ in a few weeks time, on July 9. In the meantime, follow the jump to check out a prototype model of the new XJ that was caught on film by a member of Youtube.

If you're willing to throw away about a minute or so of your time, then be my guest to skip the jump and watch Jaguar's new teaser video on the upcoming XJ luxury sedan. In the third promo film, Jaguar's Technical Specialist for Audio Systems, Matt Jones talks about the new XJ's Bowers & Wilkins audio system. It's even more boring than it sounds (sic) so don't say that we didn't warn you.

In early July, Jaguar will lift the covers off its Mercedes-Benz S-Class rivaling, 2010 XJ luxury sedan, ahead of the car's market debut at the end of the year. Following the release of a set of teaser photos at the Shanghai Auto Show in April, Jaguar has now published a short video interview with the British firm's design chief, Ian Callum who talks about the design philosophy behind the new XJ. Among other things, Callum claims that with the new XJ sedan, Jag's design team "took 30 years of learning and put it into something that is very complete." Hit the jump to watch the video but don't get too excited...

The XF we've all been waiting for, the new supercharged XFR, was finally revealed at this week's Detroit Show. Fitted with Jag's new direct-injection 5.0-liter V8 and a Roots-type supercharger, the 510-horsepower strong XFR goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds, or 0.2 and 0.4 seconds slower than its arch rivals, the BMW M5 and Audi RS6 respectively. If you hit the jump, you can watch the XFR in Jag's new promotional video. Unfortunately, for reasons that we fail to understand, Jaguar did not include any audiobites from the XFR's supercharged V8 engine, which is a pity as other than that, the film is overall entertaining.

At the Detroit Show, Jaguar revealed a specially modified XFR prototype that recorded a top speed of 225.7 mph (363.2 km/h) during a secret speed trial at the iconic Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah last November. The XFR prototype beat Jaguar's previous speed record of 217.1mph (349.4 km/h) that had been set back in 1992 by the XJ220. The man behind the wheel of the fastest Jag ever was Paul Gentilozzi, owner of Rocketsports Racing who led the Jaguar XKR to five series victories between 2001 and 2006 in the Trans Am series in the USA.

Jaguar’s forthcoming XF-R that is aimed squarely at the BMW M5, Audi RS6 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG has been caught on film by AMS undergoing hot-weather testing in the infamous Death Valley in the southwestern United States. Expected to be introduced in early 2009, the top-of-the-line XF will boast a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine with direct injection delivering at least 500 horsepower that should roecket the Xf-R from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in under five seconds. -Follow the jump for the video

A pre-production version of Jaguar's answer to the Audi RS6 and BMW M5 made an unexpected appearance at last weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed. Luckily for us, a couple of quick-handed spectators managed to film the XF-R in action. Sources state that Jag's new high-performance sport saloon will be powered by a new direct injection, supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine delivering something north of 500 Hp. You can also see a picture of the 2010 Jaguar XF-R here. -Videos after the jump
