The Jaguar XJS—A Sleek GT Icon Gracing Streets For Two Decades

The Jaguar XJS was a sleek GT meant to replace the iconic E-Type, and it graced the streets for over two decades. With a 3.6L inline-6 or 5.3L V12, it was updated over time but became overpriced and outdated by the 1980s.

One advert featured the XJR-6 race car, the XJSC convertible, and the XJS coupe, implying that the latter had some of the same automotive spirits as the race car—a stretch by any measure.
