Ian Callum, one of the titans of modern car design, is departing from his job as Jaguar"s Design Director. He has been there 20 years, overseeing a full transformation of the saloons and sports cars, the launch of the SUVs, and the revolutionary I-Pace. Callum"s replacement, Julian Thomson, has worked hand-in-glove with him at Jaguar for 18 of those 20 years, so we can safely assume it"ll be a relatively smooth transition. Especially as Callum is retained as Design Consultant. Given that, two decades ago, Callum arrived at Jaguar with the Ford Puma and Aston Martin DB7 and Vanquish to his name, expectations were ridiculously high. He"d almost finished the DB9 too by that time.
