The Jaguar XJS was a luxury GT launched in 1975 to replace the iconic E-Type, featuring a powerful V12 engine and distinctive buttressed styling by Malcolm Sayer and Doug Thorpe, becoming a long-running model (1975-1996) known for blending performance and luxury despite initial mixed reactions, undergoing facelifts, engine updates (including AJ6/AJ16), and eventually being succeeded by the XK8.

The Jaguar XJS is a luxury grand tourer car that was produced by Jaguar from 1975 to 1996. Its powerful 5.3L V12 cylinder engine produced 295 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque, making it a formidable performer on the road. With a choice of 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission, the XJS V12 was capable of reaching top speeds of 150-160 mph and accelerating from 0-60 mph in just 6.9-7.5 seconds.

The XJS V12 was renowned for its sleek and aerodynamic design, which was characterized by its long hood, sloping roofline, and curved haunches. Inside, the car featured a luxurious interior with premium leather upholstery, wood trim, and advanced technology features for its time, including fuel injection and anti-lock brakes. With a curb weight of around 4,000-4,300 lbs, the XJS V12 was a substantial car that exuded presence and sophistication.

Throughout its production run, the XJS V12 made several notable appearances in popular culture, including a starring role in the TV show "Dallas" and a cameo in the James Bond movie "The Living Daylights." It was also featured in the music video for "Goldfinger" by Ash. Today, the Jaguar XJS V12 remains a sought-after classic car among collectors and enthusiasts, prized for its unique blend of performance, style, and luxury.
