The Jaguar XJ6 XJ40 Series, produced from 1986 to 1994, marked a significant shift for the British luxury car manufacturer. It was the first all-new XJ model in over a decade and introduced a modern, aerodynamic design language that would define Jaguar's aesthetic for years to come. The XJ40's sleek lines, sculpted bodywork, and pronounced grille became synonymous with the brand's elegance and sophistication. This departure from the traditional XJ's boxy shape was met with both praise and criticism, but it undeniably solidified the car's image as a contemporary and desirable luxury vehicle.

Underneath its stylish exterior, the XJ40 offered a blend of performance and comfort that was rare in its segment. The car featured a range of powerful inline-six and V12 engines, coupled with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. Despite its size, the XJ40's suspension system, incorporating independent front and rear setups, provided a remarkably smooth and compliant ride, while its handling was agile for a car of its class. The interior was also a highlight, with high-quality materials, comfortable leather seats, and an array of advanced features for its time, including a digital instrument cluster and a sophisticated climate control system. The XJ40's combination of refined styling, robust performance, and luxurious appointments solidified its position as a true grand tourer and ensured its enduring appeal among automotive enthusiasts.
