Jaguar Land Rover U.S. Assembly Plant Considered, Not Viable Right Now
5 Apr 2018, 6:37 UTC · by Mircea Panait
/ Home / News / Industry
Jaguar, Land Rover, Range Rover. All three are premium brands, and Jaguar Land Rover knows that the vehicles it manufactures are more than aspirational. Be that as it may, the British automaker continues to play second fiddle to the German triad.
21 photosIn the U.S., for example, Jaguar Land Rover managed to sell 114,333 passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs in 2017. That’s 8.8 percent more than in 2016, but still not enough compared to the German rivals. As highlighted by Wards Auto, “none of Jaguar or Land Rover’s 13 nameplates sold more than 20,000 units in the U.S.”
Alas, the chief executive officer of Jaguar Land Rover can’t make a case for a stateside assembly plant. The volume first has to grow, but that’s not all according to Ralf Speth. “If we have to export out of the U.S. 90% or 95% [of what we build here], then you will recognize it never will work from a financial point of view.”
For reference, the best-selling Jaguar Land Rover nameplate in the United States of America is the Range Rover Sport, racking up 19,153 deliveries in 2017. Volvo, on the other hand, sold 30,996 units of the mid-size XC90 in this SUV-driven market.
Speaking of Volvo, the Swedish manufacturer will open an assembly plant in South Carolina this summer. Here, the all-new S60 will be produced. What this means in the long run is that other SPA-based models can be assembled in the United States.
For the time being, the U.S. plant isn’t on the cards for Jaguar Land Rover, but it’s under consideration for when demand makes the investment feasible. As business stands at the present moment, the British conglomerate has manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom, China, India, and Brazil.
An all-new facility will open by the end of the year in Nitra, Slovakia. In addition to these locations, the Magna Steyr plant in Graz, Austria is where the E-Pace compact SUV and I-Pace electric SUV are assembled.

Koenigsegg Agera RS Ends Production, Two Final Edition Models Remaining
5 Apr 2018, 7:15 UTC · by Mircea Panait
/ Home / News / Car Profile
Founded 24 years ago by Christian von Koenigsegg, the Angelholm-based hypercar manufacturer prepares to close another chapter in its tale of ultra-exclusive works of wonder. The Agera RS, introduced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, is now out of production. In total, 25 examples of the V8-powered blunderbuss have been made.
13 photos“To those who managed to order one of the 25 cars,” the Swedish automaker would like to “thank you for your trust in our vision and brand” and “congratulate you on your foresight, your acumen, and your truly unique car.” And what a car the Agera RS is, racking up no less than five world speed records in these past three years!
The most important accolade is the world record for the fastest production car ever made, maxing out at 284.5 miles per hour (457.9 km/h) on a closed road in Nevada. After all, what did you expect from a hypercar that develops 1,160 horsepower from the get-go and 1,341 ponies when specified with the 1-megawatt package?
In addition to the extreme performance and out-of-this-world design, the Agera RS happens to be the first Koenigsegg federalized to U.S. motor vehicle standards. Before this turning point in the automaker’s history, Koenigsegg models were imported in the land of God Bless America under the “Show or Display” clause.
“With the RS series complete, the Agera line has two more cars to be built and delivered – two Final Edition vehicles.” The Final Edition premiered two years ago at the Geneva Motor Show, and in total, the production run consists of three examples. Koenigsegg describes these models as “super-bespoke,” which is a bit of an understatement considering that every Koenigsegg is unique in its own right.
Emerged from the shadow of the One:1, the Agera RS rides into the sunset, leaving Koenigsegg to concentrate on the Regera. The plug-in hybrid hypercar is the automaker’s most ambitious project to date, with production limited to 80 units. If you were planning on buying one, tough luck! All of them were sold, with prices starting at €2.1 million a pop.

Waymo Isn’t Slowing Down: Pact With Honda Could Include Delivery
