The Jaguar XJR. Created with a passion for performance that is at the heart of the Jaguar character. Delivering awesome power and athletic handling with extraordinary refinement.

 Stunning Technology


 

Robert Govender and Jafa Raza report on the Jag’s Continuing Great Leap Forward. 

A luxury saloon that would be just as at home on the race circuit as it is on the road. Giving breathtaking performance with the enormous power of its supercharged engine. Taking the tightest corners with a grip as fierce as its namesake.
The supercharged V8 engine develops power of 276 kW (370 bhp); the massive torque of 525 Nm is fully available from 3600 rpm.

With Jaguar's Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) and large 8" x 18" 'Asteroid' alloy wheels, the chassis has been honed to give outstanding roadholding and high speed stability; the steering is well weighted for a very precise, direct feel.


The XJR's charismatic personality has no need to flaunt itself. The wire mesh grille, the sporting interpretation of classic Jaguar themes inside, are subtle hints of the car's spectacular potential.

Equipment, naturally, matches the highest standards of the XJ Series. Luxury can be taken for granted.

For all who value the ultimate in sheer power with civilised manners, it is the breathtaking capability of the XJR that will matter most.

Drive it, and you may never again wish to drive anything else.
