TARGA High Country 2022 - Jaguar XJS V12, Pure Sound

Follow Mark Hammond & Dirk Witteveen in arguably the best sounding car at TARGA High Country 2022 (at the very least the loudest!), the Jaguar XJ-S V12

Can’t get enough of this car! Sounds amazing. I would love to see a detailed walk around of everything done to the car, especially under the hood!

[@TargaNews]

Hi Julian, search the video of this car from Targa Tasmania 2021 - a lot more detail in that video

Goose bumps at 2:50 in the 2014 footage :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2awmXaEgMtqeaM

Man, that guy is clearly having the time of his life behind the wheel of that XJ-S 🐆🏎️

[@darrenbrailsford6809]

That Jaguar XJ-S is stunning!! And what a soundtrack. A beautiful car. Great event too. 👍

[@petergiourelas3753]

I'm a hemi guy but that jag sounds strong

[@jimclarke1108]

Great to see the XJS V12 being put to good use🏁

[@haeloglobal5725]

Think it’s the best sounding car ever

[@Jay-ru3mu]

This XJS is Demented :)

[@tfleiter]

Well…that definitely sounds better than my xjs versions….just wondering how they keep this monster cool enough. I think the xjs are underrated: they look sleek and the V12 is great…regardless what the mechanic next might tell you.

[@jaymoney1252]

Music to my ears, I’m gonna go drive my jag now. Lol

[@TommyGun1979]

This car is gorgeous! I always loved the 70's and 80's Jags, since I was still a child actually. Everybody kept telling me those were quite crapy

[@carsandmoods3593]

Sounds a bit like a Lamborghini Diablo, but better

[@p.kuansuwan2070]

I was never actually one that likes V12s. But this car, I just can’t get enough of it (coming from an 18 year-old btw!)

[@vernongoodey5096]

Remember you could go by a V12 XJS and go see the same engine win at Le Mans and Silverstone I did 137mph burning off a Cosworth Sierra on the A43 in UK on the way to Silverstone in mine ( from a 62 year old)

[@p.kuansuwan2070]

@@vernongoodey5096 That’s incredible! You deserved that life my man!

[@kuseetha.]

This is how (I think) god would sound like! I have always loved Hammond's XJS

[@mrfrdman]

What a great sound :)

[@cccap232]

ohmygod...i`m in love with the sound of that cat!!

[@V1250-d5e]

Racing headers sound!!

[@roberts1677]

How do I get my XJS to sound like that?

[@kalcine]

Jeeez ! Absolutely amazing sound a astonishing silouette and of course this country is beautiful just like that Jag

[@liamhollin8265]

Can't see them electric cars catching on👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@redreuben5260]

Mmmmmmmm, Mmmmmmm, Mmmmmm 😂😂😂

[@afanitaituave3344]

Yewwww!! That sound! 👌🏼 🤙🏼

[@haeloglobal5725]

Why does this xjs sound so much better than others ?

[@stevepearce6689]

it been released

[@NewtonInDaHouseYo]

x-pipe magic and induction!

[@gergatron7000]

Normal Jag exhausts keep both banks separate. That makes them sound like 2 x 6 cylinders. Merge both banks into one, you have all 12 going through one pipe, and 12 glorious cylinders in symphony.

[@philco7044]

Beautiful car 👍

[@haeloglobal5725]

Yes I’ve made the same sound

[@haeloglobal5725]

Well not quite the same lol

[@mhiletpetway3139]

Beautiful

[@haeloglobal5725]

No one knows how to make it sound like that lol it’s like world secret . I’m sure the owner of this car could offer the secret at a cost and make a few quid lol

[@matthewkijowski1131]

Equal length headers and a x pipe would be my guess. I want to buy a xjs just to try and make it sound like this.

[@trevoradams7225]

​@@matthewkijowski1131 I think its x piped for sure

[@johnszwede4692]

Love that noise !

[@Sovereign1987]

Hreat Great !

[@markross6946]

Co-driver not wearing gloves, and sticking his hand out the window is against regs.

[@9danny81]

🤘🤙🤘🤙

[@britishbastard6561]

Ooh how dare he, let’s fine him!

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

Slower than a wet weekend.

[@brianmorecombe2726]

Doing a lot of corners and uphills so hes not going flat out in top gear much is he
