COMPANY NEWS; JAGUAR ROLLS OUT A REDESIGNED LUXURY MODEL

Jaguar Ltd., the British maker of luxury cars, introduced its redesigned XJ12 model yesterday in Amsterdam, saying the new, $67,000 version is more powerful, more economical and more refined than its aging predecessor. Jaguar, a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company, ceased production of the old series in December after a 20-year production run of 52,210 cars.
