2005 Jaguar Super V8 LWB Review - Autochannel (press release)
It's not really fair to say that the Jaguar Super V8 is a great car, because a car that's priced at $91,395 SHOULD be a great car. But I felt that during the week we drove the Jag, and covered more than 1,600 miles, we gave it just about every test we could give a car outside of the race track, and it passed with flying colours. We used the Jaguar Super V8 in the Seattle, Washington, area. We drove it in the city, on ferries, and to Mt. Ranier, Mt. St. Helens, Olympic NP, North Cascades NP, and everywhere we could get a car. We'd turn a corner and face what looked like a wall in front of us. All we had to do was kick the accelerator and we had power to conquer anything the city planners could put in front of us. The power was even more useful driving in the wilderness. So when we wanted to pass another vehicle, all we had to do was turn left, floor the accelerator, hear that supercharger kick in, and turn right after we passed. It's just that with the supercharger, there's so much power available you can do more with the car. Our tester had adaptive cruise control, which will maintain a set spacing between your car and any car in front. So if you're going 60 mph and the car in front of you slows, your car will also slow.
