1952 JAGUAR XK120 FHC
The World’s First Post-War Supercar
The Icon of British Elegance. Launched at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Jaguar XK120 was a sensation that changed automotive history. Originally intended as a low-volume testbed for Jaguar’s revolutionary XK engine, the public response was so overwhelming that it was rushed into full production.
The "120" in its name signifies its 120 mph top speed—a feat that made it the fastest production car in the world at the time of its launch.
With its sweeping, aerodynamic lines and heart-stopping proportions, the XK120 remains one of the most beautiful silhouettes ever penned.
Whether in its purest Open Two-Seater (OTS) form, the refined Fixed Head Coupé (FHC), or the versatile Drophead Coupé (DHC), the XK120 is the ultimate expression of 1950s glamour and British engineering prowess.
