Vehicle Description
The XJ has always presented the sportiest design of the European executive sedans, but add a supercharger to the 4.0-liter V8, performance suspension, and new aggressive appearance package, and this 2001 Jaguar XJR becomes a truly irresistible luxury sports car. And you just thought the value price attractive!
A color like British Racing Green gives the exact right first impression for a car like this. It instantly conveys Jaguar's reputation for sophistication, performance, and tradition in one deep hue. Of course, this is only true when the factory paint has been properly maintained throughout its life as you see here. The finish is extremely nice and definitely demonstrates the superior quality you got for your money when you bought a top-of-the-line luxury car. The long, low Jaguar profile is instantly recognizable as the shape that built this icon. The XJR's specific grille has a bright wire mesh that helps signal its intentions as a predicator, and the special wider factory wheels give this cat a lurking stance.
The beige (Oatmeal) leather interior is a great reminder that even this performance car is still out to be luxurious. The total package has been finished to standards that only the craftsmen in Coventry seem to have mastered. It's beautifully preserved on this cherished future classic, and all the passenger seats seem to have virtually zero wear. The walnut wood used inside Jaguars is real, and the plush carpets feel impossibly luxurious under your feet. The luxury continues with a long list of desirable features such as automatic climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, heated seats, cruise control, power seats, sunroof, and AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD changer. Modern features not only mean superior luxury, but also modern safety. So you get the convenience of dual airbags and anti-lock breaks.
Under that leaper bonnet (hood) is an engine bay packed with power. Thanks to the "R" in the Jag's name, this stately English gentleman knows how to throw a punch. The 4.0-liter fuel-injected V8 has been supercharged to give it 370 horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph time in five seconds. This speedy cat retains it's the original powerplant, and it has averaged less than 2,400 miles annually. Being a true luxury car, it will stay nice and quiet during regular driving, but plant your right foot, and this big cat loves to growl. This same sport/luxury dual personality can be found in features like the five-speed automatic transmission (utilizing the iconic J-gate shifter), power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. The XJR also received an upgrade to its fully independent suspension so it handles like a top-level sports sedan should.
When a premium sports sedan is so well presented, there's no question of its desirability. But when this future classic is also priced like a mid-sized economy car, we know it will leave our dealership quickly. Call today!!!
