2003 Jaguar Xk8 Convertible on 2040-cars
Owasso, Oklahoma, United States
The odometer is almost to125,000 miles and I'm responsible for 95,000 of them over the last 7 years. This XK8 has consistently provided fun and reliable, transportation. As a bonus, it gets pretty decent gas mileage. In my normal drive to and from work with local errands I average a touch over 22 mpg. I've gotten as much as 29.8 on a drive to the east coast, with 25 or so easily achievable on the highway. I'm selling it because I bought a supercharged version. The 4.2 liter V8 runs great and delivers its power to the rear axle through a six speed ZF auto gearbox. This engine is an improvement over its predecessors with increased displacement, iron cylinder liners, and much improved cam chain tensioners. I have not modified the car and have kept up with maintenance over the years. I am the third owner and on my watch it has never been smoked in and has always been serviced with synthetic oil at the manufacturer's recommended interval. It doesn't need oil added between changes. To hit the high spots, I’ve replaced the covering on the A posts and header panel, had the leather touched up, replaced plugs and a couple ignition coils, replaced the valve cover gaskets, and recently replaced all of the heater and cooling hoses. Another notable item was replacement of the convertible top latch hoses a couple years ago. This car is sold as is, where is, and without any warranty expressed or implied. I will endeavor to answer any questions in a prompt and forthright manner. Bidders are encouraged to conduct their own research and enter into any transaction with due diligence. The car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please - No silly offers of paying 100% through PayPal with me paying your transportation or similar scam-like ideas.

Xcar drives Jaguar C-X75, other Spectre villains of 007
Thu, Oct 29 2015James Bond returns to US theaters very soon in Spectre, and with the action-packed film wrapped, the producers are lending out the keys to some of the movie's automotive stars. We've already seen Jay Leno behind the wheel of Bond's Aston Martin DB10. Now, Xcar's Alex Goy has taken a turn in some of the flick's villainous rides from Jaguar Land Rover, including a very special Jaguar C-X75. The crew from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations team certainly did an impressive job of giving the movies baddies some appropriately nefarious rides. To challenge Bond, they turned the Land Rover Defender into a beast with chunky, off-road tires and blinding-spot lights. They also made the Range Rover Sport SVR even more diabolical than normal with a blacked-out look and LED lightbar. Of course, the king of Spectre's villain cars is the C-X75. According to Goy, most of the ones in the movie use the company's 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, but two are actually original prototypes with the hybrid setup. He gets to drive one of those special examples in this clip. While limited to some low-speed cruising, the coupe still looks wonderfully menacing on the road. Related Video:
Jaguar F-Pace, XE getting SVR treatment with supercharged V8
Tue, Apr 19 2016The folks at Jaguar Land Rover's new Special Vehicle Operations division have been fast at work creating new SVR performance models. And they're not about to stop now. Two new Jaguar models are currently in the works, according to Car and Driver, both packing the company's long-serving and celebrated supercharged V8. First up is the F-Pace crossover, which currently tops out with a 380-horsepower supercharged V6. Slotting the bigger engine in under the hood with more than 500 horsepower on tap would go a long way toward living up to the name that suggests both speed and a correlation to the F-Type sportscar. But that's not all JLR's new skunkworks department has in store. Car and Driver reports work is also under way on a more powerful XE to take on the likes of the BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz AMG C63. The automaker is reportedly yet to give it the green light, hemming and hawing over its environmental image, but we hope hotter heads, in this case, prevail. Jaguar's V8 engine is one of its most enduring powertrains and is approaching double the output it originally offered. The 4.0 introduced in 1997 packed 375 horsepower. The latest version in the F-Type SVR (and expected soon to slot into the Range Rover Sport SVR) displaces 5.0 liters and produces 575 supercharged horsepower. With that much muscle, the F-Pace SVR would overpower the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, BMW X5 M, and Mercedes-AMG GLE63, while the XE SVR would outgun the M3, Cadillac ATS-V, Alfa Romeo Giulia QV, and just about anything else in its class.

Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.
