The Jaguar X100, produced from 1996 to 2006, marked a significant shift for Jaguar, moving the marque away from its traditional, more classic styling while retaining its reputation for luxurious driving experiences. The X100 represented the culmination of a decade-long development process, intended to create a car that was both technologically advanced and visually appealing. The key model in this series was the XK8, a sleek and powerful two-door coupé and convertible, offering a compelling blend of performance and luxury. A four-door saloon, the XJR, was also introduced, with a focus on high-performance driving. Under the skin, the X100 lineup boasted a number of innovative features. The XK8, for instance, was the first Jaguar to feature a fully independent rear suspension, a significant departure from the live axle setup traditionally used on the brand's cars. The X100 also introduced a new generation of engines, with the 4.0L AJ-V8 engine, in both naturally aspirated and supercharged forms, powering a range of models. The introduction of the AJ-V8 engine was a major technological leap for Jaguar, bringing with it increased power and efficiency compared to its predecessors. Combined with its luxurious interior, advanced features, and sporty handling, the X100 helped to solidify Jaguar’s reputation for building stylish and high-performance automobiles. It was a car that appealed to a new generation of drivers, while also retaining the core values that had made Jaguar so successful for decades.
