About Jaguar XJS
The Jaguar XJS is a luxury grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars, a time-honored British car manufacturer. It serves as a replacement for the Jaguar E-Type. The XJS made its debut on 10 September 1975. Its assembly base was located in Coventry, England. Three generations were produced. And its production was discontinued in 1996. Over a period of more than 20 years, its final total production reached 115,413 units.
As for the body style, the Jaguar XJS is offered in several kinds: a two-door coupé, a Targa convertible, a full convertible, and a 2+2 convertible. In terms of automotive design, all models adopt a front-engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. And the vehicle was built based on the platform of the then-current XJ saloon. The designers of the car are Malcolm Sayer and Geoff Lawson who was in charge of the facelift. Malcolm Sayer was one of the first designers to apply advanced aero principles to cars. But the design was not finalized due to his early death. It's noteworthy that the XJS was known for its prominent rear buttresses.

As for the detailed dimensions, the wheelbase of the first-generation XJS is offered at 102 in. It measures 191.72 in long, 70.6 in wide, and 50 in high. And variants produced later were a bit shorter and lower than it. Produced for two decades, most of its classic parts and accessories have gone through a variety of changes for better performance. Take its powertrain and engine parts for example. When the XJS was first launched, it was powered by a 5.3 L Jaguar V12. The XJS could accelerate to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143 mph. After further development, the V12 engines' capacity was enlarged to 6.0 liters in May 1992. And its output reached 304 hp. Besides, the transmission was updated to a GM 4L80E with a fourth-gear overdrive.
The Jaguar XJS features powerful supercharged V8 engines, an aggressive and sexy look, sport-tuned suspension, as well as a roomy interior. All the Jaguar parts and accessories have contributed to its performance on the road.
