I know that there’s at least a few car enthusiast readers out there that will dig this, so I apologize for the short notice. TODAY (September 8, 2014) at 1:30pm Rock Father HQ time (that’s Central Time), the all-new JAGUAR XE will be unveiled at a secret location somewhere in London along the Thames. The whole thing will be webcast LIVE via this link. Here’s more on what to expect, direct from the Jaguar crew…

The star studded global reveal will feature an exclusive appearance by Emeli Sandé performing from a secret location alongside the Thames. The multi-platinum, British singer-songwriter created the song especially for the launch and the FEEL XE project. In order to secure inspiration for the song, Emeli and Jaguar asked the public “What makes you feel Exhilarated?”. Using #FEELXE the public shared words, pictures, sounds and films with Emeli through social media (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram).
