Jaguar Super V8 Portfolio

Jaguar will present the special and most powerful version of Jaguar XJ sedan on the upcoming international autoshow taking place in London. This automobile has received name XJR Portfolio, and its sales will begin in September of the current year at the price of 113350 U.S. dollars. By the way, in the Great Britain it is planned to sell only 100 such cars. Jaguar Super V8 Portfolio will be built as a special edition car, mainly for the US and Canada.

The Super V8 Portfolio is a long wheelbase sporty sedan with new attitude both inside and out. Spectacularly defined by its muscular looks, powerful, modern character and unique interior and equipment features, the 2006 Super V8 Portfolio will take its place at the top of the Jaguar product range.

New Jaguar XJR is on 200 kgs easier than its predecessor who was issued five years ago. Like the XJ LWB on which it is based, it has the longest wheelbase and overall length in the large premium sedan class, but the lightest weight among its rivals. That kind of dimensions give to the passengers of this car alot of front leg and headroom and rear passenger space all of which are the best in this class. The XJ’s lightweight aluminium monocoque, even in long wheelbase form, contributes to fuel economy, emissions ratings and performance that are virtually identical to those of the standard wheelbase XJ sedans This automobile is equipped with 4,2-liter, 32 valve, AJ-V8 engine outputting 400 hp and connected with new six-step automatic gear box by the codename ZF. The magnificent sedan does 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in five seconds, and its maximum speed is artificially limited to 250km/h (about 155mph), proving that Super V8 Portfolio’s sporty character is not only about show, but also about go.

Besides XJR differs from a base sedan by more powerful brake system harmonized with adaptive suspension bracket called CATS (miau… just kidding ) and stability control, and also by special polished 20-inch light alloy rims fitted with sports tires. To distinguish the fastest Jaguar XJ it is possible also by aluminium power vents, placed on forward wings. XJR Portfolio will be painted only in special black colour, and furnished its interior with the ivory coloured leather, special grades of a tree and aluminium.

The Super V8 Portfolio builds on the XJ Long Wheelbase’s traditional image, and challenges it - with a 21st century attitude that makes the Super V8 Portfolio a different kind of XJ altogether.
