1990 Jaguar Xj6 Sovereign Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Concord, North Carolina, United States
This is a very nice mechanically and bodily sound all original no rust 24 year old Jaguar that still continues to amaze people on its condition. There is an acid rain blemish on the hood and the right rear door has a ding that has been painted. I am a Jaguar enthusiast and member of the JCNA and can be very anal about the condition of my Jaguars. Within the last two years this XJ6 has had all four brake rotors replaced with Centric Rotors and all disc pads replaced with EBC red stuff brake pads. All fluids have been drained and flushed including the differential and transmission, the problematic self leveling suspension has been replaced with standard springs and new Bogue shocks and mounts. Both front shock mounts have been renewed together with the two rear sub frame bushings. All five tires were renewed with Falken ZIEX ZE-912 in the plus zero size of 215/65R-15 in February 2013. The drivers side heater/air blower motor has been replaced, and the R12 refrigerant renewed,yes cold air-conditioning, distributor cap, rotor,plug leads and spark plugs are all upgraded and new. The high pressure hydraulic hose from the steering pump to the steering rack is new, the fuel pump and filter are new along with the EGR valve and oxygen sensor All systems are working mechanical and electrical, however, although I have replaced the oil pressure sensor twice( it reads 40 psi ) the instrument gauge is still not working correctly, but all is well. The in-line DOHC 6 cylinder Jaguar engine is the best and virtually indestructible, treated to premium gas and 20w-50 Castrol oil and filter changes every 3000 miles it should last up to 300,000 miles before a real inspection is required. This engine loves to be driven and will cruise all day long at 75mph and return about 23/24 miles per gallon, I am only selling because I have my eye on a 1994 XJ40 V12. I will throw in a set of 4 Dayton wire wheels that are good but need some refinishing. This vehicle is sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied buyer must arrange pick up |

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Jaguar details new Ingenium four-cylinder engines [w/video]
Mon, 29 Sep 2014When Jaguar lifted the veil on its new XE sports sedan earlier this month, it only revealed details on one engine - that being the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in the flagship XE S. But we already knew that the British automaker's new entry-level model will offer many other powertrain options, and now it has revealed a little more.
Jaguar has been developing a new family of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines it calls Ingenium, which will be offered in a wide array of configurations and specifications. In advance of its debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, the Leaping Cat marque has announced the specifications of the two diesel versions. The first will offer 161 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and some of the best environmental credentials on the market. There will also be a more potent version with 177 hp and 317 lb-ft, which Jaguar says is "one of the highest torque outputs in the class." Either way, both versions feature variable exhaust valve timing, cooled low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalytic reduction technologies to help meet the stringent Euro 6 standards.
That's all well and fine, but considering that Jaguar doesn't offer diesels in North America, the chances of these oil-burners making their way Stateside seem slim. But if you watch the video below, you'll also find basic specs on their gasoline counterparts as well. Like the diesels, they're turbocharged and displace 2.0 liters, but in petrol form, they offer 197 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque, or 236 hp and 250 lb-ft.
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
