The iconic #Jaguar #XJS was presented in 1975 as the successor to the Jaguar #EType and was one of the most exclusive and advanced Gran Turismos in the world at its launch. The whisper-quiet 5.3 liter V12 coupe was able to transport its passengers in style, silence and comfort at speeds of more than 200 km/h over the (then still empty) motorways of the
European continent to travel to their exotic destinations.
Because the successor to the XJS, the #XK8, was not yet available, a much improved, last version of the XJS was released in 1994, with a completely renewed 6.0 liter V12 engines mated to new four-speed automatic transmissions; equipped with airbags, improved suspensions and much improved very luxurious interior finishes.

Welcome to this new episode of Kaeve Highlight. In this series we will walk you through some of the design highlights of new cars available in the Kaeve. Let us know what you think of this very special British icon, the XJS by Jaguar!

Thank you Niels for providing imaginitive, constructive and knowlegeable commentary on the gorgeous Xj-S. A car, as you say, mis-understood by so many. My preference is for the pre face lift design and I am fortunate to own a pair of these lovely cars. The smoothness the V12 is just sublime! Thank you again for your video. Kind regards.

Die Flying Butresses zijn nog ontworpen door Sayer, die ook de E-type tekende. Z'n laatste truckje. De XJ-S was wel een buitenbeentje, men moest er erg aan wennen. Eigenlijk net een beetje als aan de nieuwe lijnen van Ian Callum. En hoe ouder ze worden, hoe mooier ze blijken te zijn. Leuk stuk video weer Niels.

[@NielsvanRoijDesign]

Zeker, een grote breuk met het verleden, zoals ook aangestipt met bewust de E-type ernaast. Een andere auto want een andere markt en type klant. Beide heel gaaf, maar de XJS en XJ-S zoals de auto pre-facelift werd genoemd, duwden veel harder naar de toekomst dan de E dat deed - en Callum later mijn zijn werk ook weer.

Brilliant

[@NielsvanRoijDesign]

Much appreciated, thanks for tuning in! We've got a host of different video's on the Jaguar brand (and others, mind you) if you'd like to see more!

Thank you for another phantastic demonstration, Sir Niels! Gorgeous 2 XJSes V12! (Would have been nice, if you opened the bonnet for a look how the engine is placed... especially in the older one. And a view into the interior, too.)

[@NielsvanRoijDesign]

Thanks for tuning in and for the feedback - a great car indeed this XJS V12 - we will try next time to get more in, interior, engine, but also try to keep the video relatively short to not make it boring... choices, choices...

[@classiccars1994]

Just a couple of things to note. The XJS does not have flying buttresses, just buttresses. The Maserati Merak has flying buttresses as an example ie a space between buttress and body. Also the power bulge in the bonnet did not arrive until 1983 and was for practical reasons rather than aesthetics, to accommodate the taller engine six cylinder engine. Personally I prefer the cleaner lines of the early Pre HE cars .

[@NielsvanRoijDesign]

Thank you for tuning in! You are correct indeed. these are normal butresses, slip of the tongue during the making of the video.

Due to the BABVVO and TEBBVO laws, all petrol cars will unfortunately soon be banned from public streets in the EU, CH USA and Scandinavia :-( In Germany, the Green People's Party has given the order to shorten the fuel supply from 2025 by reducing all conventional gas stations to just one state-run central gas station per city or county Now they even want to slow down all gas pumps by 20 liters per minute to 2 liters per minute... From 2027, some car spare parts will also be banned in the EU... such as exhaust systems, turbochargers and even some engine and gearbox oils. .. California and New York will do the same from 2027... So no more investing in petrol cars... They even created a new type of crime here called emissions and smoke crime . "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" BABVVO in Germany and HESCHLAVVO in Switzerland!!!!!

Well. Let’s enjoy them whilst we can!

[@mvmallinson]

Music……why?? And you think you qualify to lecture us on taste. seriously?

[@NielsvanRoijDesign]

We lecture on design, not on taste. To very different things. Have a great day!
