Black On Tan, Great Condition! on 2040-cars
Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States
ecognized as Jaguar's flagship full-size luxury sport sedan, the XJ model has also been the best selling Jaguar. Adding an "R" delineates the performance trim line.
The XJR shares the same all-aluminum body panels and aluminum monocoque frame as the rest of the XJ line. A supercharged version of the XJ base 4.2-liter V8 spins out 390-hp. Coupled to the line-up's standard ZF six-speed automatic transmission, the XJR can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds. Owners report 24 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in town.
Like its smaller S-Type R sibling, the XJR shares the exclusive Jaguar Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) that electronically modulates the suspension to suit road conditions. In addition, this luxury sport sedan comes standard with Brembo antilock disc brakes that incorporate Emergency Brake Assist, traction control, and Dynamic Stability Control. Further safety features include dual-stage frontal airbags with side- and head-curtain airbags.
A classically appointed interior in leather and real walnut trim enfolds passengers. The standard power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, along with 16-way power seats assure a perfect fit. A reverse proximity alarm system assists in parking this full sized sedan. In addition, an adaptive cruise control system uses radar to determine the distance to the vehicle directly ahead and sets the throttle and brakes to suit the flow of traffic. To keep the back seat passengers happy, Jaguar offers an optional DVD entertainment system with two backseat LCD displays. Some reviewers faulted the car's shifter design as out of date and complained about road noise entering the cabin.
Jaguar has wrapped its tradition of tasteful styling with upscale automotive technology and performance into the XJR. It warrants consideration by those who prefer traditional elegance in a full-sized sedan beyond that offered by German or Japanese competition.

Lightweight E-Type to show historic side of Jaguar Special Operations in Monterey
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Jaguar has made a lot of great vehicles over the years, but as far as historians are concerned, it still very much lives in the shadow of the original E-Type, small as it was. In its image, Jaguar has made two generations of XK and the new F-Type, but what we have here is the most faithful continuation of the E-Type heritage yet.
Alongside the Range Rover Sport SVR and the F-Type Project 7 (making its US debut), Jaguar Land Rover and its new Special Operations division will roll into Pebble Beach this year with the continuation Lightweight E-Type. Of the 72,500 E-Types which Jaguar built between 1961 and 1975, only a dozen were Lightweight versions, and they remain the most coveted E-Types of all. It originally planned on building 18 examples, though, and five decades later, it's now committed to completing that original production run in faithful detail.
The Lightweight E-Type was based on the standard roadster and was homologated as such, just with some key upgrades to make it lighter and faster. The biggest change, of course, was the lightweight aluminum bodywork that cut 205 pounds off the curb weight. To replicate it, Jaguar took the last example (the only one made in 1964 after the original eleven were made in '63), scanned half its body surface, mirrored it to ensure symmetry and set about reproducing it with the same standard of materials available in the Sixties (and resisting the urge to go with more modern grades of aluminum). 75 percent of the 230 components are made in-house, with the largest stampings outsourced and built on machinery built to Jaguar's specifications off-site.
Jaguar XK and F-Type meet for final sibling faceoff
Fri, 08 Aug 2014There's nothing that real, dyed-in-the-wool car geeks love so much as to say "Old Car X is actually a lot better than New Car Y." For reasons that defy both logic and science, we all (your author included) are able to, almost simultaneously, bitch about needed advancements in current vehicles and then bemoan character lost in the next crop.
Mitsubishi Evo models have been supremely prone to this bifurcation of opinion in recent years (ask an Evo IX fanboy about the Evo X sometime... ), and performance cars wearing WRX, Mustang, and M3 badges have been deeply subject to it, as well.
The Jaguar XK and F-Type are not exactly in the same one-model, generational-changeover form as those mentioned above, but that doesn't mean that there aren't defenders of both the old dog and the new joint. Autocar seeks the truth of the matter in this new video, and we're just happy to come along for the ride. May the best sib win.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
