Lista Masini -- > Jaguar - XJ-series

The Jaguar XJ is a saloon (or sedan) produced by Jaguar, launched in 1968. It was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder.

The brand-new X350 began production in the Spring of 2003 and as a 2003 model in Europe and as a 2004 model for the North American market. The X350 has an all-new aluminum structure and bodyshell. Steel is used in some places throughout the chassis. Aluminum underbody components are fastened together with aerospace-grade epoxy adhesives and around 3,200 self-piercing rivets to create the new XJ's unibody. The top-line XJs are branded as Vanden Plas (in North America) and Daimler (everywhere else). Two of the things that distinguish the X350 from previous XJ models include the outer headlights which are larger than the inner headlights and the wheels are pushed closer to the corners, both like the original XJ. Also, the X350 has a curve in its rear door like that of Jaguar saloons of the 1950s and 1960s.

The Super V8 is the fastest and most expensive model, with the XJR a close second. The Super V8, which debuted in the 2004 model year in the new X350 body style, is essentially a long-wheelbase, supercharged XJ8. Its primary competitor is the Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG. A distinctive wire mesh grille and chrome-finished side mirrors set the Super V8 and the XJR apart from the less expensive XJ sedans.

All North American XJs are powered by a 300 hp (224 kW) naturally aspirated engine. A 400 hp (298 kW) supercharged from 4.2 L V8 engine is optional. The valvetrain has a dual overhead cam design with four valves per cylinder. The top speed is limited electronically.

In early 2005, Jaguar announced its most exclusive, powerful and expensive XJ sedan since it ceased V12 production. Called the 2006 Super V8 Portfolio, it is a limited-edition trim level of the flagship Super V8 sedan. It debuted at the New York International Auto Show in March 2005, and is the most expensive Jaguar sedan produced to date, with a base price of US$115,995. The equivalent model is sold under the name Daimler Super Eight and Daimler brand on the European and other international markets.

The Super V8 Portfolio is powered by Jaguar's supercharged 400 hp, 4.2 L, 32-valve, AJ-V8 engine. Top speed is 155 mph and the Portfolio has a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of five seconds.

Jaguar

Jaguar Cars este o companie britanica, subsidiara a Ford Motor Company si este renumita pentru salon de lux si productia de masini sport prezente pe piata inca din 1930.
 
Infiintata in 1922 ca Swallow Sidecar Company de William Lyons, a fost redenumita in Jaguar Cars dupa al doilea razboi mondial. Productia companiei a atras atentia imediat atat prin frumusete si eleganta, cat si printr-un pret relativ mic pentru modelul Austin. In paralel, compania producea de asemenea caroserii pentru Fiat 509A, Morris Cowley si Wolsely Hornet.

Primul autoturism de productie proprie a aparut in 1931. Modelul SS I era unul cu o infatisare sportiva dar cu calitati tehnice mai slabe. El abia de atingea viteza de 113 km/h. In 1935, dupa o serie de imbunatatiri, apare modelul SS100 care s-a produs in serie pana in 1939.

In timpul celui de al doilea razboi mondial, compania a produs avioane bombardiere si masini de teren cu motor Ford. Dupa 1945, pentru a evita asocierea cu gruparile militare germane SS, compania a fost redenumita in Jaguar Car Limited.

Primul automobil, in noua sa formula, a fost in produs in 1948 - XK120. Pentru prima data, automobilele construite de Jaguar au primit si un motor de productie proprie la care s-a lucrat pe tot parcursul razboiului. Urmasul acestuia a fost modelul XK140 cu o putere de 210 CP, dupa care a venit modelul si mai puternic XK150 cu un motor de 260 CP capabil sa dezvolte viteza de 210 km/h.

In 1951 a fost lansat modelul XK120C sau C-Type, creat special pentru curse. Acesta insa a fost inlocuit in scurt timp cu modelul D-Type, care de trei ori consicutiv a castigat cursele de la Le Man. D-Type era dotat cu un motor de o putere de 277 CP care atingea viteza de 100km/h in doar 4,7 secunde, iar viteza maxima era de 281 km/h.

Anul 1958, prin lansarea modelelor E1A si E2A au pus bazele productiei noii generatii de masi Jaguar – E-Type care s-au produ pana in 1975.

In 1988, la British Motor Show a fost prezentat conceptul cu tractiune integrala Jaguar XJ220 cu un motor V12 de 6,2 litri. Acesta a fost produs in doar 350 de exemplare iar motorul a fost schimbat pe unul cu 6 cilindri de 3,5 litri. In 1996 a fost lansata o versiune noua a acestui model XK8.

Tot in acest an, Jaguar lanseaza un nou sedan sport – S-Type.

Astazi, cumparatorilor li se propune o gama de patru clase de automobile Jaguar, XK8/XKR, X-Type, S-Type si XJ, iar in curand va aparea si seria noua F-Type.
