Jaguar XJ-S 5.3

Overview
Produced: 1975-1993, 79447 produced.
Types: Coupe,2 doors,4 seats
There was far less room in the XJS than an XJ coupe. The power unit was the same V-12 engine driving the wheels in the standard version through an automatic gearbox although a manual five-speed box was available as an option.  The wheelbase of the XJS was a mere 102 in (2,590 mm) yet it was 191 3/4 in (4,870 mm) long.  The official top speed was in excess of 150 mph (240 kph).
