I finally found a worthy replacement to my Nissan Maxima and Lexus ES300!

Currently, in the 0-60 MPH sprint, the XJR ranks 2nd fastest production sedan in the world after the BMW M5, (at least that's what Jaguar says so that's a biased source of info). Times range from 5.1-5.4 secs. according to Motor Trend. Here are some good reviews of the XJR from 1999. Loaded with luxurious amenities, this car is unreal. The engine produces 370 HP thanks to the V8 power and supercharger. How about the 1/4 mile? Well here's a test done by Popular Mechanics where it was compared to a Dodge Viper, Mustang Cobra, etc. It wasn't too bad actually, making the rankings: 12th Jaguar XJR, 13.62 secs @ 104.21 MPH

this car is a piece of art

ready to race

with hood popped up, you can see the lights

top view

the bright lights are the rear fog lights, not reverse lights

parked but ready to go

the driveway needs some work

there's the distinctive jaguar hood ornament

profile shot

come on in

settle in the cockpit

feel the cherry wood on the wheel

select the memory settings for seat, steering wheel, etc. position

there's J-shifter and the electronics

backseat where you can feel the Connolly leather

more leather view

pop the hood and see the Jaguar power

370 horsepower V8 engine

Eaton superchargers (same as in Aston Martin)

the Jaguar emblem on the visor (as if you need reminding)

light-adjusting rearview mirrors for the annoying hi-beams

Harman Kardon premium sound system

these wheels handle 0-60 in 5.1-5.4 seconds

huge 18" alloy wheels with Pirelli tires can handle speeds of 155 MPH (electronically limited)

Future Mods? If I had money and I was in the UK, I'd super-supercharge it to 450 hp!!. Anyway, here are more car performance stats from a diff. site: click here.
