Jaguar "Mean Machine"

Anyone know the song in the new Jag ad? Sounds like a 70s classic rock throwback to Humble Pie or some other British (I assume, could be wrong) group.

Vocalist sings "She a mean machine..." over beauty shots of a new Jag.

Any help would be great

Thanks!

I haven't seen it yet but it sounds like it might be Queen "I'm In Love With My Car."
The lyrics to that one are "The machine of a dream, Such a clean machine."
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...osim/adtunes-20 Sample. Does that sound like the tune? Maybe it's a cover for the ad and they changed the lyrics a bit?
A shot in the dark.

I can confirm. It is "Queen - I'm in love with my car". It was on here just a few minutes ago.

FYI, being the crazed Queen fan... The drummer, Roger Taylor, is actually singing that song. Not your typical Freddie Mercury sounding Queen song.

You can find "I'm In Love with my Car" on Queen's album "A Night at the Opera." Link goes to available audio sample.

edit to add: just realized fitz already linked to the same album...

I just checked out the sample. Thanks to everyone for your help! Now, pardon me while I head back to Amazon...

Ohh. Okay, that makes sense. "I did not know that." (*Johnny Carson voice*)

Queen rocks!
