So, I did what Jaguar did not do in 1995 and 1996 with the jaguar XJS models. I installed a 6-cylinder 4.0 liter Supercharged OEM Jaguar engine and matched transmission (GM 4L80E) on my XJS, as you may be aware of, all XJS were only offered with the normal aspirated engines in both the six and 12 cylinder versions.  However, as you may know Aston Martin cleverly incorporated the 6-cylinder supercharged engine on its DB7 flagship from 1994 to 1998, as a result the Aston Martin DB7 model was the highest production Aston Martin vehicle ever, with more than 7,000 built before it was replaced by the DB9.

As you may know, William Lyons defined the Jaguar brand with three simple words - space, pace and grace.  The Jaguar XJS has all three in spades.  The XJS has matured to become an elegant and graceful grand tourer. This car is a lovely place to watch the road unwind from. These are unique automobiles and are some of the most comfortable, enjoyable cars to take a road trip in that you can imagine. They are capable of chewing up enormous distances in a day, can cruise at speeds that many cars would struggle to reach, and do so in a grand manner.

I bought the car with the intention of creating a super car with a unique feature that Jaguar did not offer for the XJS. The car has 81,600 miles and is in good mechanical and electrical condition for its age.  The supercharge engine has around 82K miles on it.   The installation of the supercharged engine was done by me as a hobby. The installation included all the electronics such as the ECU for a supercharged engine and High Performance air Filter.

This XJS is powered by an Eaton-supercharged 4.0-liter DOHC inline-six, which is the first production Jaguar ever to utilize forced induction. Turning at 2.5 times engine speed, the Eaton M90's positive-displacement supercharger produces up to 10 psi of boost and creates a torque curve as flat as a Yoko Ono Christmas album-but with none of the debilitating long-term side effects.

An output of 322 horsepower at 5000 rpm and a mogul-moving 378 pound-feet of torque at 3050 rpm prove my super-Jag's virility. Compared to its normally aspirated original engine stablemate (245 horses at 4700 rpm and 289 pound-feet at 4000 rpm from the same 4.0 liter basics), the tenor of this supercharged engine is more than a little nasty. Although the displacement of the two Jaguar six-cylinder engines is identical, the supercharged version receives additional internal ribbing to the cylinder head, a tougher head gasket, and a beefier exhaust manifold (all OEM). Both motors utilize cast aluminum pistons, but the supercharged powerplant chooses slightly revised camshaft profiles and a lower compression ratio (8.5:1 versus 10.0:1) to handle the boost requirements.

An original air-to-water intercooler also is employed and incorporated into the intake manifold. Opening the hood for onlookers is guaranteed to incite an outburst of oohs and aahs, as even the mechanically inept can't overlook the red "XJR6 supercharged" signage or the huge silver, satin-finished cam cover.

The start-up and idle temperament of the supercharged powerplant is indistinguishable from the smooth-as-Cadbury-chocolate Normal aspirated engine, but merely nudge your big Lord Nelson against the gas pedal, and an instantaneous rush of torque moves the 4215-pound cat in a hurry. Zero-to-60 mph is a 6.6-second thrill ride, while the quarter mile whooshes past in 14.9 seconds at 95.9 mph. Both feats occur about a second quicker than what a 6.0-liter 313-horsepower Jaguar XJS-V12 can muster, despite the king-cat's 50-percent-greater displacement and twice as many cylinders. Amazing what a little hot air can do when blown into the right places.

OEM GM 4L80E Transmission

The 4L80-E Transmission is able to handle vehicles up to 8000 lb (3629 kg) GVWR with up to 440 ft·lbf (597 N·m) of torque. The transmission has multiple shift modes including a full manual mode through the use +/- electric paddle installed on the shifter knob. Final drive ratios include 3.42, 3.73, and 4.10. It has been used on the following vehicles:

 

 

1991– Chevrolet C/K/Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra V8

1991– Chevrolet Suburban/GMC Yukon[disambiguation needed]

1995–2003 Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon[disambiguation needed]

1995– Chevrolet Van/Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana

2002–2006 Chevrolet Avalanche V8 8.1L

Hummer H1

1992–1998 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit/Spur II, III, IV

1991–1992 Bentley Eight

1991–1997 Bentley Turbo R

1991–2002 Bentley Continental R/S/T

1999–2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label

1993–1996 Jaguar XJS

1994–1997 Jaguar XJR

1993–1997 Jaguar XJ12 / Daimler Double Six

1996–1999 Aston Martin DB7

 

 

100% Aluminum Performance Radiator with Twin Electric Fans

 

I also installed a direct fit, aluminum radiator specifically designed for Jaguar V12 cars. All fittings (inlets, outlet, transmission cooler, mounting pegs) are in the original Jaguar factory locations. This is a true drop in replacement for the factory radiator.

 

The aluminum radiator was made in the USA from quality materials and is 100% TIG welded with absolutely no epoxy used in any way.

 

Installation is exactly the same as for the OEM radiator with a twin electric cooling fan system.

 

 

 

The XJS are rare. It has been years since I have passed by one on the highway. You just don't see one everyday... In fact, you don't see them hardly at all. If you want a car that speaks to individuality, it would be difficult to do better than this 1995 Blue Supercharged XJS Convertible.

These are lovely cars. The interior of these cars is like nothing else on the planet. Old world charm and comfort abound, but in an intimate space, where you are surrounded by soft skins, thick carpeting, and beautiful wood-grains. The interior on this XJS is in very good condition for its age as you can see in the pictures.

In the end though, I think that what makes this cars so desirable is the strong character. This results from a combination of heritage, styling, engineering, scarcity, and raw mystique. No other cars at affordable prices generate the same passion in me as the XJS does and few PRACTICAL cars top it at ANY price.

Finally, as I stated before, the car has been modified from its original version (normally aspirated to supercharged) and although the car is in very good shape (and runs impressible fast!), it is a 18 year old car, look at the pictures and ask me any questions before you bid. The car is offer as is, where is and there is absolutely no warranties of any kind so please bid accordingly. The car is located and available for inspection and test driving in Calexico, CA (122 miles East of San Diego). Thanks!

NOTE: I am also selling a 1995 Supercharged XJS a Black Convertible a in separate ebay auction.

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 arrives Stateside for $135k*

Thu, 14 Aug 2014

There are a great many things we love about the Jaguar F-Type, but one of them is that, whatever price point you're looking at, there's an F-Type for you. (Well, not any price point... this is a Jag we're talking about, but pricing varies greatly.) Got $65k to spend? That'll get you into a base F-Type V6 coupe, and you'll likely be happy for it. Eighty grand will get you into an F-Type V6 S, $90k into a V8 S roadster, and a cool hundred grand will get you the top-of-the-line F-Type R coupe. But what if you want to spend more than that? What if you've got more like $165,000 in your pocket and it's burning a hole when it should be burning rubber?
Well we've got good news for you, friend, because that's exactly how much the exclusive F-Type Project 7 will set you back. Making its US debut during Monterey car week, Jaguar has announced that the most exclusive version of its two-seat sports car - revealed in production spec just recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - will cost $165k in the US (plus the standard $925 delivery charge). That's roughly the price of an F-Type R and a base F-Type V6.
For all that scratch, you get an open-top roadster with 575 horsepower on tap - more than any production road car Jaguar has ever made before, and that includes the XJ220 and ultra-rare XJR-15 supercars. The most potent version yet of Jaguar's ubiquitous and long-serving 5.0-liter supercharged V8 is enough to send Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.

2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,

Jaguar design boss Callum reinterprets classic Mark 2 for himself [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

As the man behind the styling of basically every Jaguar since the mid 2000s, two things should be known about Ian Callum - he's a big fan of the brand, and he can bloody well get whatever kind of Jag he wants.
His newest car, though, is not what you might expect. Rather than an F-Type or an XJ, Callum has gone old school, and commissioned a custom, resto-modded Jaguar Mark 2.
Designed by Callum and built by Classic Motor Cars in Shropshire, England, the Mark 2 was an 18-month project between the designer and the garage. The essentially new car draws its power from a 4.3-liter engine that's been pilfered and modified from an XK. It's mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
