Tata Motors bought the British brand in March 2008 and since then we have seen a few launches but the XJ seemed to take forever to come to India, but not anymore.

The Jaguar has always been an epitome of stunning design and intuitive technology. A contemporary luxury car that is beautiful, exhilarating and sustainable, all at the same time.

Sleek, sporty, beautiful and sophisticated. These are a few terms that would strike you when you see the maginificent Jaguar XJ. The car was first premiered worldwide in London in July 2009, in a ceremony hosted by Jay Leno, one of the world's best-known chat show hosts and a renowned car enthusiast.

The luxury saloon from Jaguar comes in a single petrol engine variant. Powered by a 5.0 litre AJ-V8 Gen III naturally aspirated direct injection V8 petrol engine, the car can be the dream of anyone who loves to cruise around in style. The engine produces a torque of 515 Nm at 3500 rpm.

The engine is mated to six-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted 'paddles' that allows you to shift the gears without using the clutch. The automatic transmission featuring Jaguar's trademark lighting quick Sequential Shift System makes your driving experience an exhilarating one.

The Jaguar XJ has a fast pick up and accelerates from 0-100 kmph within a span of 4.7-5.4 seconds. It can touch a top speed of 195 - 250 kmph.

The V8 engine provides seamless power delivery and refined performance but, thanks to its intelligent technologies, without compromising on the fuel efficiency. According to the EPA government fuel figures, the Jaguar XJ sports an average mileage of 10 kmpl and avoids the tag of being a gas guzzler.

Jaguar XJ defies the age-old idea of conventionalism and transforms the idea of comfort and luxury. The body of the car is built using the aerospace-inspired aluminium body technology.

The front-end suspension features unequal length wishbones with weight-saving forged aluminium components, suspended by coil springs. Multi-link rear suspension features lightweight cast aluminium links.

When it comes to describing the exterior of the Jaguar XJ, there are few words which can do justice to this immensely beautiful machine. It is a 4 door large luxury saloon that has the body of a sports car. As seen from the front, the XJ has a wide and bold profile, deep set mesh grille that is flanked by Intelligent High Beam Xenon headlamps.

The Jaguar XJ has a very striking teardrop shaped side window graphic which accentuates the length of the car. The waistline looks proud and complements the ultra-sleek lines of the car. The rear of the car breaks some rules of conventional designs with LED light clusters that flow smoothly down the rear wings, following through the lines of the boot.

The interior of the car could not have been done in a more sophisticated and luxurious way. The interior of the XJ is accentuated with glove-soft leather, warm veneers and cool chrome. The hand-finished Soft Grain leather adorns main surfaces, including the seats, instrument panel, door tops, centre console and armrests.

Jaguar XJ is equipped with an automatic four zone climate control with air filtration, humidity sensing and air quality sensing. The cabin provides accommodation for 5 individuals with ample legroom and headroom. It also features a panoramic glass roof that accentuates the feeling of space. The glass roof slides glass upwards and outwards, ensuring there is no loss of headroom. And if you are bothered about the car becoming too hot, think again, because the glass has a dark tint and special reflective coating that protect the car from strong sun. Also, if you need extra privacy, the twin electric blinds close at the touch of a button.

The instrumentation of Jaguar XJ includes industry-leading Virtual Instrument display that appears real and solid on a 12.3 inch high-definition glass screen set behind the steering wheel. Climate control, telephone and audio system controls respond at the touch of a finger.

XJ has a class-leading 1200W Bowers and Wilkins surround sound system that features the Audyssey MultEQ audio tuning system, which delivers exceptional clarity through 20 speakers that provide the ultimate in digital sound processing technology. It also has a Media Hub that makes easily connect to the latest media storage devices including latest iPod touch and iPhone.

Jaguar XJ comes with other functional features that are the trademarks of luxury and comfort at their peak. Some of the very unique features are Cruise Control with Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) and a 3-spoke leather steering column featuring electric adjustment for height & reach with entry and exit tilt-away. Also featured in the exotic XJ is Jaguar Smart Key System with keyless entry and start, door puddle lamps, Phosphor Blue Halo Illumination and Interior Mood Lighting, Rain sensing Windscreen Wipers and heated windscreen and rear window.

It also includes other features that set it above the competition. XJ features front parking aid with Touch-screen visual indicator and rear camera parking aid.

More ways to dress up your Jag, as the popular 'Black pack' makes its way down the line to the XF saloon.

Formerly available on the XK GT, the Black Pack brings new 20-inch 'Draco' wheels and lots of gloss black highlights including on the grille and window surrounds.

Naturally, exclusivity has its price and in this instance, you can only get the Black Pack with certain colours, all of which are suprisingly not black. These include Polaris White, Spectrum Blue, Ultimate Black, Stratus Grey and Liquid Silver, in addition to the XFR-exlusive Kyanite Blue and Salsa Red.

There's also an Aerodynamic Pack available, which essentially boils down to a bodykit: more aggressive front bumper and grill, and bigger sills.

The Jaguar XK140 is a sports car that was manufactured by Jaguar during 1954 and 1957. The XK140 included some amazing features such as better brakes, rack and pinion steering, increased suspension travel and modern tube type shock absorbers. The XK120, 140 and 150 were all used by the British carmaker as the basis for successful privateer racing and rallying. And after 1950 onwards Jaguar was competing directly with Ferrari and others in contests all over the world.
The Jaguar XK120C, better known as the C-Type, could be called as the company's first serious attempt at manufacturing a race car. In 1951 Le Mans, Jaguar allocated three cars, including the one driven by Stirling Moss. This was the first real test that the car was put through.
Much like its predecessor the C-Type, the D-Type was a factory-built race car. And although the D-Type shared its basic straight-6 XK engine design with the C-Type, rest of the car was essentially different. And thanks to its C-Type lineage, it dominated the Le Mans from 1955-57. Indeed, an amazing combination of beauty, speed and technology.
After the successful spell during the 1950s, Jaguar's participation in motorsport was restricted to privateers, TWR going about it rather more seriously with this awesomely quick and mean-looking XJS racer.
Almost three decades after the dominance of the C- and D-Types, Jaguars once again ruled at the Le Mans, the 1988 XJR-9LM complete with evocative Silk Cut livery and faired in wheels winning in 1988, the XJR-12 winning in 1990.
Jaguar tried its luck in Formula One during the period of 2000 to 2004. Jaguar bought the Stewart team and brought in Mark Webber among others, but never really set the circuits alight.
The thrilling new Jaguar sports car delivers the ultimate circuit driving experience. The custom-built, Jaguar-powered JP1 doesn't compete but it does give some of the wannabe racers at Jonathan Palmer's Bedford Autodrome an experience of what driving a top-flight competition car is all about.
The Jaguar XFR is officially the world's fastest Jaguar. It is basically a slightly bigger, improved version of Jaguar's XF saloon. The car can reach a staggering top speed of 362 km/h, which was proved by Jaguar racer Paul Gentilozzi on Bonneville's famous salt flats. . The XFR featured a spoiler set up on it to help the vehicle stay on the ground during the test.
Jaguar returned to the Le Mans in 2010 with its GT2 racing version of the Jaguar XKR. The race car began its life as a brand new Jaguar XK-R, and even though it is a fully built race car, it maintains much of the original car's aluminum body panels; like the roof, doors and deck lid. Thanks to the company's aerodynamics department, the car has some interesting body work, like the trailing GT style rear wing, redesigned front bumper and extremely wide front fenders.
