2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas Sc Supercharged Sedan 4-door 4.0l Low Miles & Rare on 2040-cars
Holland, Michigan, United States
|
Check out this LOW MILEAGE & RARE SUPERCHARGED Jaguar XJ8!!!! According to Wikipedia, only 788 of the Supercharged VandenPlas XJ8's were produced from 1997-2003, so this is a VERY RARE Jag! See article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_XJ_(X308). The Platinum Silver exterior looks beautiful and the Charcoal Black leather interior is very clean! There are signs of some paintwork (few small areas of clear coat flaking on the passenger side; very minimal, but a slight shade difference in paint hue). The seats show signs of aging but are not torn. Headliner is sagging in areas, but still intact. All 370 horsepower of the 4.0 liter V8 in this Cat purr, and the automatic transmission shifts smooth and strong! Every amenity works like it should, including front and rear heated seats, ice cold air conditioning, power locks, power windows, remote entry, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power seats and power moon roof. A great matched set of Continentals are wrapped around very cool aftermarket 17" rims. The car runs, drives and handles just like a Jag with only 70,000 miles would! You can see more photos at https://plus.google.com/photos/113272028201348840087/albums/6037803697971490161?authkey=CNi8qtXq8bncgAE At times the ABS/Traction Control light does illuminate (no other warning lights). Told by those in the know that likely culprit is wheel speed sensor, and being intermittent, probably needs cleaning. Check out the value in this car: KBB suggested price is $18,000! Original MSRP was $85,000!

Lapping Le Mans with 1956's version of a dash cam
Wed, 01 May 2013Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb won The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955 driving a Jaguar D-Type. The following year, a few days before the race, a British broadcaster put cameras on Hawthorne's car, hung a mic from a plate on his race suit and had him narrate a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
It is compelling viewing. A new pit complex was built after the massive accident on the front straight in 1955, but this was still a time when crews prepped for the race on roads that were open to the public. Hawthorne's lap includes maneuvers to avoid bicyclists and cars, and gems like letting us know that doing 185 miles per hour down the Mulsanne Straight was where you could "relax a little, recover your energy." Watch him work it like the men of old in the video below.
2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe [w/video]
Thu, 16 Jan 2014This is it. This is the nasty cat we've been hankering for most. Whereas the Jaguar F-Type convertible remains the company's purest expression of lifestyle fun and expendable income, it's this coupe version that originally stole our eyeballs and never gave them back when it debuted as the C-X16 Concept way back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. And now we've had an early turn at driving the most potent variant, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
This F-Type Coupe design is so utterly visually stunning that, even if something dynamically or functionally was not really to our liking, we would still want to have the wherewithal to buy one and garage it, if only to stare at it - not unlike our reaction to the 2007-2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupe, then. Whether such beauty needs to be in the form of this $99,000 mondo 542-horsepower R version or the more attainable six-cylinder trim is an open question.
In case you need reminding, that's 542 horses maxing out at 6,500 rpm, along with 502 pound-feet of torque on tap between 2,500 and 5,500 revs. There is no indicator yet as to whether Jaguar will eventually come out with an R version beyond the 488-hp V8 S for the convertible, either, so this may well be our only shot at such hair-brained antics in this small Jag. Small and not quite light, we should add - despite its all-aluminum goodness - the F Coupe rings in at 3,638 pounds. That sort of heft is one thing on the street, but it's quite another on a twisty roadcourse, and we aimed to figure out if the coupe's 80-percent greater stiffness versus the open F-Type (along with its higher attendant spring rates) were enough to make a big difference.
Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
