The Jaguar XJS is a grand tourer produced by Jaguar Cars from 1975 to 1996. It replaced the E-Type as Jaguar's flagship model and built upon the success of its predecessor, offering a luxurious and powerful driving experience. The XJS underwent several updates and revisions throughout its production run, with the most notable being the introduction of a new, more aerodynamic body in 1988, as well as the addition of a convertible variant in 1988. The XJS was also available with a range of engines, including the 4.0-liter inline-six, the 5.3-liter V12, and the 6.0-liter V12. While the original XJS was praised for its performance and luxurious interior, it also faced criticism for its reliability and handling issues. These issues were addressed with subsequent updates and refinements, leading to improved reliability and overall driving experience.

The XJS offered a luxurious and comfortable ride, with its spacious cabin featuring plush leather upholstery, wood trim, and a range of amenities. The car's powerful engines provided ample acceleration and performance, making it a worthy successor to the E-Type. However, the XJS's handling was not as sharp as its predecessor, and the car was known for its heavy steering and tendency to understeer. Despite these shortcomings, the XJS remained a popular and desirable vehicle for its combination of luxurious comfort, powerful performance, and classic British design. The XJS's unique styling and heritage have earned it a place as a modern classic, and it remains a popular choice for enthusiasts and collectors.
