What we have here is perhaps the nicest custom Jaguar XJ Supercharged in the country!
We started out with a perfect, low milage example of the XJ Supercharged short wheel base car finished in stunning
polaris white with a rare navy blue interior. This is the only car with this color combination I have ever seen as
I’m guessing 90% of the white cars only were optioned with the black interior and the other, say 18% of the white
cars were built with the all too common, non contrasting tan interior. The navy blue with the ivory piping is
absolutely gorgeous in a white Jag and must be seen to be appreciated.. The heated steering wheel boasts a custom
matching navy perforated leather wrap that matches the interior impeccably. The trim on the car is the black
walnut giving the car a modern, sleek interior decor and not the all too common- burl most other Jags have. The
windows are professionally tinted with polarized non metallic tint job that cost $800. The car has all options
including cold weather and Illumination pack. This was a $4500 option that illuminated the vents, trunk plate and
kick panels with blue led mood lighting. The car is also optioned with the $2700 1100w Bowers & Wilkins upgraded
stereo.
Moving on to the exterior.
The Platinum Edition car relates to the 75th anniversary show car that was featured at the Geneva car show by
Jaguar last year. That particular car was firstly completely de-chromed. Following in that tradition, all the
chrome on the car was completely removed and finished in black. This includes the chrome grille, grill trim and
window trim. The panorama window trim was also finished in black to provide the car with a cohesive layout and not
the broken color scheme provided by the factory. the rear valance was also finished in matte black as well as the
tailpipe to make the car look up to date. There in no chrome left whatsoever on the exterior of the car. An Arden
trunk spoiler painted in factory white is also installed. Add to the look a professional window tint and you can
plainly see that this Jaguar is set so far apart than even the XJR which contains the same motor as this car. No
XJR even looks as good as this car I assure you.
Added are a set of color matched polaris white and black custom 3 piece Forgiato rims fitted with 90% tread tires.
The wheel and tire package were bought at California wheel for $7500 and the car will come with the receipt to
prove it! The rims are 4 years old and do show a few signs of use but have been touched up.
Don't make the mistake of comparing this car to any other XJ in the world!
The calipers are finished in a brilliant Porsche red, designed to keep dust off your wheels. Other extras include
Jaguar factory metal sport pedals, and LED logo illumination kit that shines the Jaguar emblem on the ground at
night when you or the passenger opens the door.
The condition of the car is 10/10. There are no surprises to be found. Not a scratch anywhere. Car just came off
it's last service and I had the dealer change/replace anything with a lick of wear and the car stayed in the shop
an extra day after promise date to make sure every part that could possibly fail in the near future was back to
new. The N/C bill was $3800. You can rest assured that the car is as close to new as any 2012 could possibly be!
Take a close look at the hi-res pictures that are included and tell me if this is indeed the best looking XJ in the
country. I challenge you to find a better example anywhere!
This car will attract crowds anywhere you go with people wondering what they are looking at.

Jaguar gets to work on next-gen XF sedan
Mon, 22 Sep 2014With the XE now out in the open, Jaguar can begin to focus on what comes next. That means a new crossover, but also replacements for some of its aging current models - chief among them, the XF. Introduced back in 2007, Jaguar's mid-range sedan is growing a little long in the tooth. But from these latest spy shots, we can see that the British automaker is hard at work developing its successor.
Expected to be based on the same iQ A1 platform that underpins the new XE, the new XF promises to be lighter in weight and more advanced than the model it replaces. Look for most of the same engines to carry over, including gasoline and diesel options ranging from four cylinders to eight, with and without forced induction, with a potential plug-in hybrid version to follow. The current model is available in rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and in sedan and wagon body styles, and we'd expect its replacement to follow suit.
The low-profile wheels and dual exhaust pipes on one of the prototypes spotted suggests it would lie somewhere near the top of the range, while the second prototype packs taller sidewalls and a trailer hitch. It's hard to discern much esle from the spy shots, heavily camouflaged as they are, but as with the technology underneath, we'd expect styling to takes some cues from the smaller XE as well. Jaguar will, of course, need to tread the line between distinctive and understated if it's going to fend off the Maserati Ghibli and take a bigger slice of the pie away from the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Lexus GS and Infiniti Q70, the Cadillac CTS and the upcoming new Volvo S90.
2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT takes fiercest feline further [UPDATE]
Tue, 26 Mar 2013If there were any car to overshadow the 542-horsepower Jaguar XJR that's coming to the New York Auto Show, this is it. Meet the Jaguar XKR-S GT - a street-legal, higher-performance version of the already hardcore XKR-S that will be headed to North America in very limited quantities. Only 30 will be offered on our continent, with 25 earmarked for the United States and the remaining five going to Canada. The cost of entry? $174,000 when it goes on sale this August.
What that gets you is a coupe that is, without any doubt, ready to attack any racetrack it might encounter. The XKR-S' supercharged 5.0-liter V8 has not been upgraded in terms of power - not that 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque is anything to sneeze at - but instead, Jaguar focused on tuning the bits of the car that help effectively put all that grunt to the ground. There's a new hood with rows of louvers to aid in engine cooling, and elsewhere on the car's body, you'll find carbon fiber on the redesigned front air splitter, dive planes, extended wheel arch spats, as well as a new rear diffuser, an aluminum front under tray and an absolutely massive wing out back to keep downforce to a maximum.
Underneath that hot body are retuned and height-adjustable adaptive dampers; spring rates have been increased by 68 percent in front and 25 percent at the rear versus a standard XKR-S. Most of the front and rear suspension geometry has been upgraded, larger carbon ceramic brakes have been fitted at all four corners, and wider 20-inch forged alloy wheels are found here, wrapped in Pirelli Corsa tires - 255/35-series rubber in front and 305/30-series stuff out back. There's also a revised active exhaust system, which should only improve the already thunderous roar coming out the back of the Jag coupe, and a faster steering rack has been added for improved agility.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe proves sexy can't be disguised
Wed, 19 Jun 2013Jaguar's new F-Type is a pretty potent little pouncer. And while we do love a good roadster, many of us at Autoblog are perhaps more excited about the upcoming hardtop version of Jag's stylish new entry-level sports car. Why? Because even here in heavily camouflaged prototype form, the thing looks really, really good - the sleek roofline blending rather nicely into the F-Type's shapely rump, allowing for better distinction of its pronounced hips over the rear wheel wells.
Mechanically speaking, the F-Type Coupe should be identical to its droptop sibling. That means the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engine lineup should carry over unchanged, though we've heard rumors about a four-cylinder application as well. There's also talk of hotter R, R-S or R-S GT models coming down the pipeline, and based on what we've experienced in things like the XKR-S, we certainly can't deny the allure of such a model.
It's unclear exactly when Jaguar will show the production F-Type Coupe (at the Frankfurt Motor Show, perhaps?), but the car is expected to go on sale sometime in 2014. Check it out in our latest spy gallery, above.
