Terrible Jaguar re-brand

[Diddums]

Vantablack was never meant to be painted on a car, it was just a publicity thing and it succeeded rather well.

 

[Armageus]

Vantablack on a car seems like a good way of getting someone to drive into your parked car at night. Hopefully they beefed up the battery for the only car in the world that needs parking lights.

Yep it's literally designed to absorb light and reflect nothing. If it doesn't get hit while parked, your getting T-boned. Stupid idea on a car.

Just as well it's only a concept vehicle then that will never be available

What a perfect way to hide one of the ugliest/worst BMW's of all time

 

[Yaayuh!]

I bet you'd still need to pay for a shadow black pack.

indeed this meets the jaguar copy nothing brief, it/00 was seen at nurburgring so - it's alive, or, they live?

killing dashboard sun reflections would be a bit useful in the uk.

Designer binned

Didn't he lead the design of all Range Rovers over the past 20 or something years including the original Evogue? I’d be shocked if they binned him over Jaguar.

 

[Nasher]

Must have lost it recently then because the designs have been a bit lame. Like the newest Range Rover.

I think the word ‘design’ is a bit of a stretch. It’s never really changed shape, like the 911!

Which is basically a beetle

 

[shifty_uk]

Ah yes, HoneyBadger and Nasher have spoken, globally successful designs are actually terrible and the guy who led them had no idea what he was on about… Silly me. I’ll leave it there, fill your boots

I don’t know why our resident experts don’t work in the industry.

 

[Uther]

Did he help design the new Jag? If so I can see why he was escorted from the building.

We do have one who works at JLR don't we?
Although I think he might be thread banned...

He was involved in other cars before this concept.

Probably why they've tolerated the nonsense destroying their brand for so long.

Something tells me that the former finance director taking over as CEO might have something to do with it.

What brand was destroyed?

 

[Nasher]

What brand was destroyed?

This one seems to be giving it a go. This nonsense, followed by a massive hack as a result of their own negligence.

Tata cleaning house, he was a strong figure, new boss has made it clear who is boss.

Normal corporate stuff.
