The Jaguar XJ40, launched in 1986, marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the XJ-S. It represented a clean-sheet design, prioritizing a modern and refined aesthetic while remaining true to the brand's heritage of elegance and performance. A major shift in philosophy saw the XJ40 adopt a more aerodynamically efficient body, with sharper lines and a more pronounced wedge shape. Inside, the cabin embraced a sophisticated and luxurious ambience, featuring a driver-focused cockpit with high-quality materials and a comfortable, spacious interior. Power was provided by a range of straight-six engines, initially a 3.2-liter inline-six and later a 4.0-liter iteration, both featuring fuel-injection technology for enhanced performance and efficiency.

This powerful yet refined engine lineup was further expanded in 1993 with the introduction of the 6.0-liter V12, granting the XJ40 a new level of luxury and performance. The XJ40's success was built upon its blend of practicality and performance, appealing to both business executives and discerning driving enthusiasts. Features like power steering, automatic transmission, and a host of creature comforts, coupled with its refined handling and impressive acceleration, made the XJ40 a formidable competitor in the luxury saloon segment. While its initial offering faced criticism regarding reliability issues, subsequent updates and refinements saw these addressed, solidifying the XJ40's reputation as a sophisticated and enduring Jaguar model. Although production ceased in 1994, the XJ40 remains a cherished classic, embodying the spirit of Jaguar's timeless elegance and engineering prowess.
