Ian Callum Talks Jaguar F-Type & the Inspiration of Jaguar Design!

Special guest Ian Callum, Director of Design at Jaguar, sits down with Angus MacKenzie, Ed Loh, Kim Reynolds and Jonny Lieberman to talk about the new Jaguar F-Type and the inspiration behind the new two seater. The completely new roadster, arguably Jaguar's first pure bred sports car in decades, pays homage to the spirit of the E-Type of the '60s and '70s and features a range of powertrain options; from a 340-hp 3.0L supercharged V-6 to a 5.0L supercharged V-8 making nearly 500 horsepower. The crew also discusses the challenges of balancing engineering with design, and the safety regulations and legal limitations that need to be factored into designing a car.
