This year,

th
Anniversary of the 1975 Jaguar XJS!
The Jaguar XJS was a luxury grand tourer produced by the British manufacturer from 1975 to 1996. The XJS replaced the E-Type (or XK-E) in September 1975, and was based on the XJ6/XJ12 body shell. Although it did not have the same sporting image, the XJS was a competent grand tourer, and one of the most aerodynamic cars of its day and was able to accelerate to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds and achieving a top speed of 143 mph. The XJ-S came with the fuel-injected 5.3 liter V12 carried forward from the XK-E. A 1978 XJS was the official winner of the Cannonball Run, an unofficial coast-to-coast road race. The finish time was 32 hours and 51 minutes. By the time the last XJS rolled off the assembly line in 1996, 115,413 had been produced during a 21-year production life. The XJS was replaced by the XK8
