This auction is for a used 1995 SUPERCHARGED Jaguar XJS (Yes, a SUPERCHARGED XJS) Convertible in blue color. So, I did what Jaguar did not do in 1995 and 1996 with the jaguar XJS models. I installed a 6-cylinder 4.0 liter Supercharged OEM Jaguar engine and matched transmission (GM 4L80E) on my XJS, as you may be aware of, all XJS were only offered with the normal aspirated engines in both the six and 12 cylinder versions. However, as you may know Aston Martin cleverly incorporated the 6-cylinder supercharged engine on its DB7 flagship from 1994 to 1998, as a result the Aston Martin DB7 model was the highest production Aston Martin vehicle ever, with more than 7,000 built before it was replaced by the DB9. As you may know, William Lyons defined the Jaguar brand with three simple words - space, pace and grace. The Jaguar XJS has all three in spades. The XJS has matured to become an elegant and graceful grand tourer. This car is a lovely place to watch the road unwind from. These are unique automobiles and are some of the most comfortable, enjoyable cars to take a road trip in that you can imagine. They are capable of chewing up enormous distances in a day, can cruise at speeds that many cars would struggle to reach, and do so in a grand manner. I bought the car with the intention of creating a super car with a unique feature that Jaguar did not offer for the XJS. The car has 81,600 miles and is in good mechanical and electrical condition for its age. The supercharge engine has around 82K miles on it. The installation of the supercharged engine was done by me as a hobby. The installation included all the electronics such as the ECU for a supercharged engine and High Performance air Filter. This XJS is powered by an Eaton-supercharged 4.0-liter DOHC inline-six, which is the first production Jaguar ever to utilize forced induction. Turning at 2.5 times engine speed, the Eaton M90's positive-displacement supercharger produces up to 10 psi of boost and creates a torque curve as flat as a Yoko Ono Christmas album-but with none of the debilitating long-term side effects. An output of 322 horsepower at 5000 rpm and a mogul-moving 378 pound-feet of torque at 3050 rpm prove my super-Jag's virility. Compared to its normally aspirated original engine stablemate (245 horses at 4700 rpm and 289 pound-feet at 4000 rpm from the same 4.0 liter basics), the tenor of this supercharged engine is more than a little nasty. Although the displacement of the two Jaguar six-cylinder engines is identical, the supercharged version receives additional internal ribbing to the cylinder head, a tougher head gasket, and a beefier exhaust manifold (all OEM). Both motors utilize cast aluminum pistons, but the supercharged powerplant chooses slightly revised camshaft profiles and a lower compression ratio (8.5:1 versus 10.0:1) to handle the boost requirements. An original air-to-water intercooler also is employed and incorporated into the intake manifold. Opening the hood for onlookers is guaranteed to incite an outburst of oohs and aahs, as even the mechanically inept can't overlook the red "XJR6 supercharged" signage or the huge silver, satin-finished cam cover. The start-up and idle temperament of the supercharged powerplant is indistinguishable from the smooth-as-Cadbury-chocolate OEM GM 4L80E Transmission The 4L80-E Transmission is able to handle vehicles up to 8000 lb (3629 kg) GVWR with up to 440 ft·lbf (597 N·m) of torque. The transmission has multiple shift modes including a full manual mode through the use +/- electric paddle installed on the shifter knob. Final drive ratios include 3.42, 3.73, and 4.10. It has been used on the following vehicles: 1991– Chevrolet C/K/Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra V8 1991– Chevrolet Suburban/GMC Yukon[disambiguation needed] 1995–2003 Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon[disambiguation needed] 1995– Chevrolet Van/Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana 2002–2006 Chevrolet Avalanche V8 8.1L Hummer H1 1992–1998 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit/Spur II, III, IV 1991–1992 Bentley Eight 1991–1997 Bentley Turbo R 1991–2002 Bentley Continental R/S/T 1999–2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label 1993–1996 Jaguar XJS 1994–1997 Jaguar XJR 1993–1997 Jaguar XJ12 / Daimler Double Six 1996–1999 Aston Martin DB7 100% Aluminum Performance Radiator with Twin Electric Fans I also installed a direct fit, aluminum radiator specifically designed for Jaguar V12 cars. All fittings (inlets, outlet, transmission cooler, mounting pegs) are in the original Jaguar factory locations. This is a true drop in replacement for the factory radiator. The aluminum radiator was made in the USA from quality materials and is 100% TIG welded with absolutely no epoxy used in any way. Installation is exactly the same as for the OEM radiator with a twin electric cooling fan system. The XJS are rare. It has been years since I have passed by one on the highway. You just don't see one everyday... In fact, you don't see them hardly at all. If you want a car that speaks to individuality, it would be difficult to do better than this 1995 Blue Supercharged XJS Convertible. These are lovely cars. The interior of these cars is like nothing else on the planet. Old world charm and comfort abound, but in an intimate space, where you are surrounded by soft skins, thick carpeting, and beautiful wood-grains. The interior on this XJS is in very good condition for its age as you can see in the pictures. In the end though, I think that what makes this cars so desirable is the strong character. This results from a combination of heritage, styling, engineering, scarcity, and raw mystique. No other cars at affordable prices generate the same passion in me as the XJS does and few PRACTICAL cars top it at ANY price. Finally, as I stated before, the car has been modified from its original version (normally aspirated to supercharged) and although the car is in very good shape (and runs impressible fast!), it is a 18 year old car, look at the pictures and ask me any questions before you bid. The car is offer as is, where is and there is absolutely no warranties of any kind so please bid accordingly. The car is located and available for inspection and test driving in |

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 takes the D-Type to the 21st Century
Sat, 16 Aug 2014One of the many big name debuts during the 2014 Monterey car week is this, the Jaguar F-Type Project 7, a stunning roadster inspired by Jaguar's legendary, finned D-Type sports car.
The Project 7 expands on the already appealing F-Type Convertible formula, further boosting the Jaguar Land Rover 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 to its most potent form yet - 575 horsepower - making this the most powerful production Jag in history. So equipped, the Project 7 is more cheetah than jaguar, roaring to 60 miles per hour in a rapid 3.8 seconds before reaching its electronically limited peak speed of 186 miles per hour.
Prices for the F-Type Project 7 start at $165,000, with customer deliveries slated begin in spring of 2015.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe unveiled with range-topping R model
Tue, 19 Nov 2013This is the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, the long-awaited hardtop counterpart to the F-Type roadster we tested earlier this year. Besides adding a roof, it shuffles up the engine range that we saw on the Convertible model, and in two of three cases, it cuts the cost of entry rather quite nicely (a happy contradiction to earlier reports).
The big change is that the F-Type Coupe does away with the Convertible's V8S trim (although the 495-horsepower variant will still be available in the droptop), and adds an even more potent letter to the top of the range. The $99,000 F-Type R Coupe is the latest member of Jaguar's R Performance line, and despite being down a letter on the XFR-S and XKR-S, it features the same 5.0-liter, 550-hp supercharged V8. With all that power on tap, the F-Type R will sprint to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds (if it doesn't break into the 3s in independent testing, we'll be shocked) and on to a top speed of 186 miles per hour. If you need to get to freeway speeds quickly, the F-Type R will also go from 50 to 75 mph in just 2.4 seconds.
As the top tier model, the F-Type R is loaded down with performance-oriented tech. The suspension features adaptive dynamics that manage the car's body movements and adjust accordingly, while the suspension itself is 4.3-percent stiffer in front and 3.7-percent tighter in the back than the F-Type V8S Convertible. Drivers can dial up an even stiffer suspension setting in Dynamic Mode, which will also tweak the steering, the shift schedule of the eight-speed SportShift automatic and the throttle response of that brawny engine.
Evo pits Jaguar XKR-S vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG in heavyweight droptop fight
Wed, 12 Mar 2014We recently received the sad news that the Jaguar XK is ceasing production by the end of the year, but what better way to bid it farewell than with some big, smoky powerslides? The retirement of the sporty GT isn't actually the topic of the latest video from Evo - it's on hand to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG to see which is faster around a track. Still, we can think of it as a wonderful sendoff for the Jag.
Both convertible grand tourers get their laps around the course, and they couldn't be more different. Driver Jethro Bovingdon gets some grins out of them both, but absolutely giggles while behind the wheel of the XKR-S convertible. The SL63 AMG is the more powerful of the two, but as we know, that doesn't always matter at a racetrack. You'll just have to scroll down and watch the video to see which of them is actually the winner.
