In the seventh installment of the Juke-R's ongoing web-build video series, Nissan's engineers craft a unique body for the prototype out of carbon...

Report: Design chief Callum says he'd like a Jaguar city car
Filed under: Budget, Jaguar, UK, Design/Style, Luxury When we think of British automobiles, they tend to land in one of two extremes: big luxury vehicles from Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Range Rover on the one hand, and Mini on the other.
