1992 Jaguar Xjs V12 Black/black on 2040-cars
Ames, Iowa, United States
|
I've been driving this car regularly for the last four years but it has come time to get rid of a few things. I loved this car so much I ended up buying another XJS, a convertible, that I also drove for a couple years before selling it on and keeping this one. Although this model came out in 1975 and has that great classic styling they have all of the comforts of a new car with full power and heated seats and a trip/fuel economy computer.
The car drives nice and I put on new tires after the first six months that I owned the car. I have always had it serviced when things have come up including the brakes and suspension overhaul. I just put on new headlights, they cost about $1200, because the originals were a little hazy. Everything works work except the backlight on the computer above the radio sometimes does not come on, not really needed for anything, and the air conditioning works great until the motor warms up so the HVAC must not be regulating the hot air from the heater core correctly right now. There is little wear on the edge of the drivers seat and the all of the woodwork still looks as new. I did install a modern plug socket into the center console to power cells phones because the original Jaguar cigarette outlets are not deep enough to be used by those plugs. In the trunk all of the carpeting is in place and a second pair of Jaguar floor mats come included incase you get your feet dirty. The tool bag with the tools is also in the trunk as is the spare tire. |

2014 Jaguar XJR is large, in charge
Wed, 27 Mar 2013There are few things in this world we love more than a huge, supersonic-feeling sedan, and Jaguar has just ripped the sheets off of its newest entry into that set of bruisers. The 2014 Jaguar XJR puts down a full 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque courtesy of a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. All that thrust lands on the rear tires through an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the big aluminum-chassis'd four door can sprint to 60 miles per hour in a skinny 4.4 seconds. Top speed sits at an electronically limited 174 mph, and Jaguar estimates the machine will still return up to 23 miles per gallon highway.
Do. Want.
The 2014 XJR also features stiffer spring and damper rates along with an electronically controlled rear differential. Of course, there are plenty of styling tweaks on hand to separate the most menacing XJ from the rest of the family. Those include new fascias, R emblems and massive 20-inch wheels outdoors as well as special seating and trim elements indoors. Asking price? That would Be $116,000 for the XJR and $119,000 for the long-wheelbase L version. Check out the full press blast below.
Jaguar models could rev with inline-six engines again
Tue, Apr 19 2016Rumors are swirling once again that Jaguar might return an inline-six engine to its lineup. Autocar claims Jaguar Land Rover will use the modular Ingenium engine family to create a 3.0-liter straight-six. The new motor will replace the automaker's current V6. As with the Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder, JLR will likely offer the powerplant in gasoline- and diesel-fueled versions. A rumor in May 2015 also suggested JLR would create an Ingenium-based turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. According to Autocar, the engine bay in the XE, XF, and F-Pace can already fit the longer engine. The automaker isn't talking, though. "We can't comment on future product one way or another," company spokesperson Nathan Hoyt told Autoblog. Jaguar built much of its performance legacy with straight-six-powered vehicles. While the C-Type and D-Type were winning races with the engine layout, practically every Jaguar production model used them as well. Today, straight-sixes are less common. BMW continues to use them, and Mercedes-Benz reportedly also plans to offer one soon. While Autocar's report is still just a rumor, the move to an inline-six could be advantageous for JLR. For example, using an Ingenium-derived design could simplify manufacturing by allowing the company to build the powerplant in one factory alongside the 2.0-liter version. Returning to a design with such an important heritage for Jaguar would also make life easy for the brand's marketing team because it could link the new engine to past racing glory. Related Video:
