From the outside Jaguar’s new direction looks bold, but our first taste of the GT reveals it to be reassuringly conventional in its approach – a comfortable tourer that’s intuitive to drive, and surprisingly manageable for a 2.7-tonne, 1,000bhp super-saloon. A full verdict will need to wait until we get the Jaguar GT on tarmac, but on this evidence it doesn’t feel like a Porsche Taycan rival.
