Description
The XJR is powered by the supercharged version of the 4. 0 L V8. It also features sports suspension, wider wheels and tires and matte black exterior window treatments, except in the US market, where the XJR received chrome window frames and rain gutters. Like the Sport model, the XJR has a body-coloured grille surround; it is with a stainless steel mesh insert instead of the normal slats. Other exterior details include the XJR badge on the rear and larger exhaust outlets.
Available on late XJR models was an R1 performance option. This included 18 inch BBS wheels, larger Brembo brakes with cross-drilled rotors and retuned suspension. The XJR could reach a speed of 97 km/ h from a standstill in 5. 6 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 249 km/ h. In 2001, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Sir William Lyons' birth, Jaguar produced five hundred examples of a special edition called the XJR 100. Only available in anthracite body color with anthracite leather upholstery, the interior is trimmed with contrasting red stitching and birdseye maple. It is equipped with a leather-covered sports steering wheel and MOMO gear knob. The XJR 100 uses the Brembo brakes otherwise found on the R1-equipped XJR and 19-inch Montreal-style wheels manufactured by BBS.
This copy comes from Germany and has been perfectly maintained. It is also an XJR-100 version and therefore the most luxurious Jaguar. The leather is still beautiful and the light green dashboard looks very chic. It has only driven 66 dkm and feels like new. A very special Jaguar for the ultimate enthusiast.
