Juguar XJS 6.0 V12 Pure Sound At The Forrestburn Hill Climb August 2014

Here is a video I put together from the last hill climb of the season and before the engine gave up! It's the mighty Black Pearl, Car 01 from the Rust 2 Rome car rally. There is really no shame to it as it's done many track days, hill climbs and three trips to Rome and back! For those interested it's a later 6.0 V12, standard internals, larger throttle bodies, full equal length tubular exhaust, full race camshafts, aftermarket ecu and ignition, lightened clutch and pulleys, using a Getrag manual box with a racing clutch, 3.54 diff and a whole load of suspension modifications too! Hope you enjoy the sound in the video :-)

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

V12's are always the best sounding motors!

[@AustriackiMalarz39]

Lexus LFA V10 so not really

[@eugenebeaty4142]

Prakrit Biswas no v10 sounds better

[@rico3204]

V12 ftw!!!

[@hazzaknox1069]

DB9 engines especially

[@tezy0193]

you're all wrong, best sounding engine is the 4 rotor from the mazda 787b

[@joeyrambo8108]

The two downshifts at the end were glorious. It made me hit the replay button .

[@FDietzNutz]

Same same XD. I've just been going through xjs videos hoping for someone to redline it to see if I could hear a bit of the old F1 sounds for a sec. Those downshifts were fn amazing

[@k.w.churchill4397]

My only regret is there is not a LOVE button to hit, instead of LIKE!!!!.....I blundered on not buying a 87 XJS with 86k on it...for 2500 bucks!!...No rust...once in a life time deal!!....I just...paused...and it was gone!!!...Slept on it, like an idiot...next day it was sold, ofcourse.....months ago...i think of it everyday...its why Im here!!>

[@christophernagy5603]

K. W. Churchill I bought a '94 Black with Connolly Cream XJ12 with 77k for $2500. She now has 94k, 4 yrs later. Love my beast... If you get a chance.

[@bigtoad8129]

K. W. Churchill do me a favour mate,give yourself a good swift kick up the ass lol. Isn’t hindsight such a mongrel

[@harwoods11]

Get one while you can. You will never regret it.

[@runeshark22]

i swear i can't be the only one with a love of the 80s and 90s european high performance machines? like these jags, porsche 928 and 944, e28 and e34 5 series, e30 and e36 3 series, mercedes benz sl cars, lotus espirit, lancia 037, and of course the 328 and countach and such. Its such a strange time an sports car history where they're not old enough to be the pure racing titans like the 60s, but not sleek or sexy by modern standards, theyre not fast, most are ridiculously complicated and expensive to maintain, nobody except other car people give a shit about em, but for some reason they never cease to get me excited

[@Spac8]

This is the best video on KZbin. Seriously. The XJS V12 is, and always has been my dream car. This is just bloody brilliant. Hearing that Jaguar V12 scream is blood curdling! A collector near me own's a very, very early, pre HE, P reg factory manual. No wood, one of 400ish made using the e type 4 speed before they dropped it and has the black "flash" across the bootlid next to the plate. If that car ever comes up for sale, I will move heaven and earth to buy it. Thanks for this video!

[@florentnicolas4503]

Man there is some XJS v12 for not even 30 000 for sale in france

[@Schlipperschlopper]

You cant use any V12 Jaguar because these engines are made fom material made in India and drop valve seats any 20.000 KM!!!!

[@Edwards_second_channel]

I think all of us here can agree this is one of the best sounding V12s ever!!! ❤😮‍💨

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

WOO ! That right-hand power slide at 0:50 !!!! It's what all Jags dream of doing !

[@k.w.churchill4397]

Im back...Still cant get over not buying that Jag......Its been months........still think of it

[@bunning63]

We all have those moments, feel for you man. Be patient, something else will turn up.

[@thalliumrc3981]

I saw one of these xjs on craigslist once and couldn't believe something like this exists! If I see one of these on there again im snagging it.

[@pyrusrex2882]

That sounded lovely.........I'm gonna go be alone for a few minutes now

[@kalcine]

love this ! XJS with the v12 matched with manual is such a beast !

[@ddiablolll]

Jesus that sounds beautiful!

[@mikemckay6052]

Handles like an ocean liner.

[@wheelerd02]

XJS is a beautiful car V12 soundtrack Interior camera very welcome Manual transmission Beautiful day and a spirited drive Excellent video my guy!

[@mxbeanz1206]

This video is amazing. That track looks like so much fun too.

[@modelcitizen72]

That is really terrific. Very enjoyable, sir! Very.

[@wabwee60]

Fabulous, sounds just as good on the overrun as under full power. Delicious!

[@stevepearce6689]

Fantastic !

[@Storkz0re]

Beatiful, rallying XJS with drifts !

[@MrOlgrumpy]

Well done,the driver sure knows the car,a bit slick out there,thanks for sharing

[@jondavies1500]

Great sound!

[@jpsv9531]

Awesome car

[@Paganiproductions84]

sounds epic

[@gaffnaldo1]

Raw power and grunt

[@MrKmorg]

Sounds like the TWR XJS. Nice work

[@brianmorecombe2726]

The sleekest car ever built.Pure beauty

[@hyena131]

@brianmorecombe2726 Ha! It's an ugly, unreliable piece of crap not fit to be in the same country as an E-Type.

[@NANDOFFDataRecovery]

SWEET

[@haroldgodwinson832]

M8, she's a real beast!

[@martinbrown1710]

Sounds brutal. The 6.0 litre engine was put into some of the late xjs and xj40 cars. My xj12 doesn't sound anything like that though lol Nice piece of driving too :-)

[@Latsaaben]

Thats one snarly cat! Love it!

[@artjag1]

way to go with a 6.0 for sure.....Art...

[@connorlane5272]

jaguar xis are my favirote car two manual gear box are so good round thruxton

[@alfamonk]

awesome..

[@ravigunn2]

Where can you get long tube headers?

[@christophernagy5603]

I'm Going to Get a 6.0 XJS. Period. Cheers!

[@lotusjaggarage2989]

Can this same setup be applied to an xj12

[@thelaughingcelt1358]

That big cat just wants to go, it's the sound of Britain 💪🇬🇧

[@skunch]

I wonder what transmission was bolted onto that v12???

[@angi733]

Epic! Can feel my wallet twitchin.

[@m139e]

Hi Marko, you are kind of a one and very spirited. I watch all your video, and I like the way you are. i have too a Jaguar 420G.... and a getrag 5 speed that wait on the bench. Thank you very much for your videos.

[@Rust2Rome]

Thank you very much for the kind comment! I love making these videos and of course driving them! Wow that's a great project, I'd love to put a V12 and Getrag in a 420G, think it would make a fun car! Good luck with the project and I hope to see some videos of it soon. All the best, Marko

[@thatrangerreviews]

Where did you get the transmission from?

[@southerndiy1]

Oh my god. Nice steering too, bloke can drive

[@artjag1]

sounds super ........

[@weofnjieofing]

That big cat is roaring for the Mulsanne straight to in leash it’s fury upon the world!

[@Finlandese]

Did you make the headers by yourself or did you buy them (if bought from where?). Great sound!

[@user-yo3kf9fl5d]

Sounds great! Seems as if the tires were cold, never got any decent traction

[@v8powerr771]

tearing velvet

[@78Outlaw]

Epic 8)

[@cruiseoveride]

Any more info on the race cams? Did you grind the stock cams? Also what is the aftermarket ignition you're using?

[@hellatightdude]

when and what was this recorded with? the colors are beautiful.

[@984francis]

I nearly got thrown off my chair in anticipation of the g forces going into that last left hander, then it cut leaving me dangling and dizzy! Oh, by the way, like, a lot!

[@rubblejohnstone4460]

12 perfect angel voices singing one enticing song. Ahh the lure of Castrol fumes and a Jag to play it on.

[@chriskelly9361]

Sometimes the old cats need a good thrashing. Well done sir.

[@TheSpeedKing]

Awesome video! I'm thinking of creating a nice compilation in topic of this video, would be nice and honored to include your video, full credited of course, what do you say? Thanks for sharing, have a great day!

[@rodosallyb]

Now there is a man who knows how to get the best out of an XJS Kudos. Just watched a vid where the guy driving made the XJS as exiting as a Prius Head bang emoji

[@arnoutdevos3601]

Fucking awesome man

[@misterbean857]

Остров Мэн ?

[@Stag2997]

Are you still running a stock exhaust or have things changed a bit?

[@JagMan78]

Whats' a "Juguar"?

[@davidrhodes7655]

They're loud I remember Walkinshaw at Bathurst and the Jag XJSs in 85

[@iloverush123]

Nevermind that NB miata I was looking at, those wheels are gorgeous. What are they? Also, what ignition+fuel setup are you using? Was making a plan for my next buy.

[@michaelkennedy8573]

how do you find a comparison between the MX5 and an XJS? like more than 3 times the engine!

[@AndyB677Aegyptus]

Hear that Jaguar snarl!

[@Nickolby123]

i want to put one of these in my s15.... it that not a great idea

[@PayDroification]

How do I get mine to sound like this? 5.3 Pre HE.

[@ddiablolll]

PayDroification he must have independent throttle bodies or something with a big hole, that's how you get the nice scream even from a lowly Toyota pickup. he has lots more goodies no doubt

[@arnoutdevos3601]

Quick question: what gearbox are you running? I have the GM400 but I'd love a manual for more fun..

[@leonardr6704]

Remarkably similar to the murcielago v12 sound!

[@3wGaming]

Countach

[@valentinoviking2510]

Manual version is like a unicorn

[@singleproppilot]

And to think, there was a time when I could have bought one of these beasts for less than $10k US. I still kick myself for listening to my dad who said it would be too much car for me to insure and maintain.

[@christophernagy5603]

Man... Wish my '94 6.0 XJ12 had a manual, that would be far out. Nice...

[@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea]

Christopher Nagy Do an exhaust mod. I replaced the downpipes all the way up to the mufflers on mine and the sound suddenly changes from a bus to a Lamborghini V12, albeit not as much as you see in the video. Definately some minor/major engine modifications you see on that example. Yes, ONLY if mine had a manual though...

[@farishanafiah8461]

Can't help but think that XJS V12 can also end up in the XJ220.

[@peanuts2105]

Is this the 5.3ltr? It's glorious no matter what

[@Manintoga]

The S in the XJS is for Solidarity. To even the odds with the working man all these Jags had 1000lbs of lead cast on the floor plate.

[@cvet12]

what is on that for exhaust!

[@andresrojas5222]

brian mac dolald it is a straight x pipe exhaust

[@jacobstaben9557]

Hey Marko, I am building an XJS V12 Coupe at the moment. I was wondering what ECU your are using and if you know the specs on the camshafts? The car sounds amazing, cheers

[@Rust2Rome]

Hey Jacob, I'm using an Emerald ECU and Rob Beere Race cams... It does sound good especially past 5000rpm where it pulls hard! Good luck with your XJS project :-)

[@PedrosGarage]

This is the sound I want, problem is you're looking at a looot of money getting equal length headers made. :(

[@haeloglobal5725]

Pedro’s Garage can the 5.3 actually achieve that sound like The 6.0

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

Slower than a wet weekend :O

[@Devilsgreedybelly]

That cat needs some Bigger paws Fricken Wild 😈

[@tpvalley]

jag made a 6 litre xjs?

[@TheTiDablju]

tpvalley at the end of production as far as I know

[@wildbillharding]

There was a TWR variant.

[@fabricedublanc6996]

Magnifique, bravo pour le pilotage...Car il faut la tenir la bête sur la route..quand le Jaguar rugit Attention.....

[@PedrosGarage]

That’s one angry ‘12

[@alpzepta]

This would be good swap for Lotus Esprit instead of 2JZ

[@78kingmicky]

Thats a lot of car to be driving into the sun on single track lane flat out

[@jamesewins7344]

Sounds better than a V8.

[@muhammadamirkhairulnizam1243]

V12 Aventador sounds

[@milanvondrich9749]

0:06😳

[@tommys_chopshop9432]

This makes funny things happen in my pants 😳

[@jimclarke1108]

ladies first ))))

[@TomTreeMan]

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a sharp car, I just got spoiled over time.

[@marksierra3522]

That's pure sex.

[@JamesSmith-ex4qf]

Pure filth😄

[@matsisaksson7192]

Why the hurry? Sound very much like a 2-stroke SAAB 3 cylinder.

[@mrcheese725]

There is only one thing I don’t like about this video.... That it is not mine😔

[@skarzz5196]

sounds like an aventador

[@harwoods11]

Slippery bugger.. Eh 😂

[@kierenboimufc5940]

I know some one that has a 8.0 v12

[@kize32]

Those high rpm downshifts really kill an engine. Even if you can execute them correct

[@AMV12S]

Sounds like a air-cooled Porsche

[@AMV12S]

+Felix73able don't sounds like a V12...lol

[@gtametro]

+AMV12S if anything it sounds like 2 porsches given the number of cylinders, but no it does not sound like a porsche to me

[@NickKautz]

Porsche 6's don't reach that high frequency or have that kind of pulse resolution

[@koitorob]

Sorry, but that car isn't a patch on Will Cole's V12 E-Type that he used to hillclimb!

[@jakethekid3344]

i want one so bad but they are so unreliable

[@CL9k24a3]

it has that Civic note to it.

[@NickKautz]

No

[@koitorob]

Do you have access to an electric drill and 10mm drill bit? Insert the drill bit into your ear and pull the trigger then push inwards about three inches. You clearly have a blockage in both ears...

[@googleitdepartment1371]

It really sucks how unreliable these are
