Jaguar F-Type: ‘Desire’ the movie released

A part of that has seen Jaguar rope in Lana del Rey as a headline act for the launch and as the chanteuse on a new short film commissioned by Jaguar from Ridley Scott Associates to feature the F-Type in a dramatic role in a half-decent short film. Now, with the new F-Type finally in dealer showrooms in the UK, the pieces of the puzzle have come together and ‘Desire’ has premiered at the London Sundance Festival, and you can view it below. Starring the Ginger Etonian – better known as Damien Lewis and dressed by Burburrey (every penny helps) - Shannyn Sossamon and Jordi Mollà, Desire is a story of “real adventure; a story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed.”  We hope that’s not meant to encapsulate the F-Type’s target customers.

But the gestation of the AM Rapide seems to have been so long it’s quite hard to remember who owned Aston Martin when the Rapide first poked its very elegant nose above the parapet, so it seems a big deal that complete cars are now heading out to customers.
