The Jaguar XJ-S, produced from 1975 to 1996, marked a significant departure from the classic E-Type, embracing a more modern and aerodynamic design. The 1982-1991 model years saw the introduction of the 3.6-liter inline-six engine, replacing the earlier V12. This engine, coupled with a five-speed manual or a three-speed automatic transmission, provided a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The XJ-S was known for its smooth ride, luxurious interior, and distinctive styling. It featured a distinctive, sloping roofline, long hood, and a pronounced rear deck, reminiscent of the E-Type's lineage. Its interior was equally luxurious, boasting leather upholstery, wood trim, and a range of comfort features.

While the XJ-S inherited the elegance of its predecessor, it encountered criticism for its handling characteristics, often described as heavy and understeering. Nevertheless, it was highly regarded for its comfort, style, and refinement. The 3.6-liter engine offered a respectable power output, and the XJ-S's aerodynamic design contributed to a reasonably comfortable cruising experience. The 3.6-liter was offered in both carbureted and fuel-injected variants, with the latter providing improved performance and fuel economy. The XJ-S, particularly in its later iterations, became a symbol of British luxury and engineering, finding a devoted following among enthusiasts. While its performance might have been overshadowed by its contemporaries, the XJ-S provided a unique blend of style, comfort, and practicality, solidifying its place in Jaguar's history.
