Jaguar XJ - Top Speed
It was also first built at a time when emissions regulations strangled the engine, 5-mph bumpers disrupted the flow of the lines in the bodywork and Jaguar’s reliability as a whole was not quite where you’d want it to be. But the XJS was in... Harry Metcalfe, formerly of EVO magazine, has put out a new video R does 0-60 in 4. 4 seconds and has a top speed of 174 mph, which should come in handy when transporting the equipment and personnel necessary for a 1,000-mph land-speed record run. Built by Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations, the two XKR RRVs have had roll cages fitted and the rear seats have been replaced by custom housings for emergency equipment. The new XJ is also available in no less than eight different models, including several long-wheelbase variants that offer even more luxury than the standard car. The questions is: can the new XJ outgun the top dogs hailing from Germany. Developed in cooperation with the brand’s long-time partner Tom Walkinshaw Racing, the XJ220 was Jaguar’s only attempt at building a production supercar. Source: www.topspeed.com
