2005 Jaguar Xj Super V8 Fast Luxury. Rare & Beautiful Every Option-stunning! on 2040-cars
Verona, Wisconsin, United States
I bought this remarkable Super V8 new for $93,000 and have loved every minute of owning her. You simply will not find another Super V8 this beautiful. The 390HP supercharged engine really fires the lightened aluminum body off the line. It is a large luxury sedan, it drives like a much smaller sports car. While you're getting ogled as a driver, your rear seat passengers will enjoy limousine-like luxury. The rear seats recline and are heated with independent temperature controls. There is a rear console for them to control the stereo, DVD system and gaming input. The right rear seat can even control the front passenger seat. Mom will want you to turn this feature off the first time the kids start messing with her seat. The switch to turn off that feature is on the drivers arm rest. The folding rear trays are like really nice airplane trays-adorned with the beautiful black walnut burl wood. Those rear seat guests or kids will feel like celebrities cruising in this super car as you raise the electronically controlled rear shade. They can pull up the rear side window shades too. Super V8's are rare as they were expensive and hard to find. I get 24mpg on the highway and 20mpg general purpose miles. I have meticulously maintained my car in a heated garage while I drive her on my 50 mile daily commute. She is most fun on extended road trips however. Despite her mileage, she has many, many good miles and years in her. Your friends will think you paid a ton more than you'll have to to own this wonderful car. There is nothing wrong with her at all. It's like shoes, women and underwear...sometimes you just need a change (sorry about the women comment, honey. Just trying to be funny). I have this car for sale locally. You can look at, inspect and test drive near Madison, WI before bidding but please bid if you're interested or it may sell locally from under your feet and you'll be seriously sorry to have missed out on this exceptional luxury sports sedan. |

Are you the soon-to-be-revealed Jaguar CUV concept?
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Following the teaser of the Jaguar CX-17 Concept released last weekend, the first official image of the Jaguar crossover concept appears to have hit the Internet ahead of its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Assuming this is the real deal, the tall, upright front end removes any doubt that this is anything but a preview for the upcoming Jaguar crossover, which will likely be called either the XQ or the Q-Series. Reports suggest that Jag's first-ever CUV is likely to go into production in 2016, and it will bring with it the option for a Jaguar-developed four-cylinder engine replacing the current mills still sourced from former parent Ford.
Jaguar C-X17 crossover concept revealed, hides new lightweight aluminum architecture
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Just as Jaguar teased earlier this month, the luxury marque is debuting its first-ever sports crossover concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins this week. In addition to previewing what a soft-roading Jag might look like, the C-X17 concept also showcases the brand's new advanced unibody aluminum architecture, which it calls the future of its brand.
The British automaker touts the new technical foundation as high-strength, lightweight and extremely stiff, and notes that it incorporates sustainable technologies such as a high-strength alloy made from recycled raw material. The architecture's flexibility means Jaguar will be able to simultaneously manufacture several vehicles on the same production line - a change that will ultimately help the automaker grow its product portfolio.
Indeed, if the C-X17 concept sees production, it would represent a completely new direction for Jaguar, which has previously focused on luxury sedans and sports cars. However, while Jaguar says a range of future models will be built using the new architecture, it hasn't yet mentioned a crossover. The first model to be built on the new underpinnings will launch globally in 2015, and it's - you guessed it - a premium midsize sedan.
Lightweight E-Type to show historic side of Jaguar Special Operations in Monterey
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Jaguar has made a lot of great vehicles over the years, but as far as historians are concerned, it still very much lives in the shadow of the original E-Type, small as it was. In its image, Jaguar has made two generations of XK and the new F-Type, but what we have here is the most faithful continuation of the E-Type heritage yet.
Alongside the Range Rover Sport SVR and the F-Type Project 7 (making its US debut), Jaguar Land Rover and its new Special Operations division will roll into Pebble Beach this year with the continuation Lightweight E-Type. Of the 72,500 E-Types which Jaguar built between 1961 and 1975, only a dozen were Lightweight versions, and they remain the most coveted E-Types of all. It originally planned on building 18 examples, though, and five decades later, it's now committed to completing that original production run in faithful detail.
The Lightweight E-Type was based on the standard roadster and was homologated as such, just with some key upgrades to make it lighter and faster. The biggest change, of course, was the lightweight aluminum bodywork that cut 205 pounds off the curb weight. To replicate it, Jaguar took the last example (the only one made in 1964 after the original eleven were made in '63), scanned half its body surface, mirrored it to ensure symmetry and set about reproducing it with the same standard of materials available in the Sixties (and resisting the urge to go with more modern grades of aluminum). 75 percent of the 230 components are made in-house, with the largest stampings outsourced and built on machinery built to Jaguar's specifications off-site.
