Jaguar XK150 “Leaping cat”
Jaguar XK150 “Leaping cat”
During the late '50s, a period marked by intense competition exemplified by the spectacular 507 BMW sports coupes and the 300 SL Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar responded with a striking statement through the XK 150. While primarily based on the Jaguar XK140, the XK 150 featured numerous enhancements in terms of interior, exterior, brakes, wheels, and, significantly, the engine. Power outputs ranged from 190 to 265 hp, depending on the version, propelling the car to a maximum speed of 217 km/h and achieving a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 7.0 seconds—a truly impressive feat for the late '50s.
David Pisani, with his period-correct camera, masterfully captures a moment of luxury and beauty in this photograph. The focus on the leaping cat mascot of the Jaguar XK150 adds a touch of grace to the composition. You can bring this moment of automotive artistry into your space by ordering it now from the Simply Petrol marketplace.
David Pisani
David Pisani is a professional photographer specialized in architecture and urban reportage. He is mostly known for his passion for Black and White photography and is an avid darkroom printer.
His love for classic and vintage cars is probably less known however he has been a classic car enthusiast since childhood, so it was only inevitable that one day he should turn his camera to these marvels of engineering and beauty.
He often photographs the cars with cameras of the same vintage and all his images are originated on film. David’s evocative and sensual photography transcends the classic car ethos to produce images of intrinsic beauty.
