What was the mileage of a 2004 Jaguar XJR?
Back at the track, the XJR had matured into a friskier cat. The sprint to 60 now took just 4.7 seconds and the quarter-mile 13.2 at 107. More impressive were the Jag’s numbers from 0 to 100 and 0 to 130.
Are there any issues with the Jaguar XJR?
This anomaly occurred just once, and the only other electronic “issues” that surfaced over the XJR’s 40,000-mile tenure with us were two other minor, albeit annoying, glitches. One issue arose after we’d had the car for nearly four months. The motor for the electronic parking-brake release cable froze in 10-degree weather.
What kind of engine does a Jaguar XJ have?
Jaguar sold the XJ with a variety of engines ranging from frugal diesels up to supercharged V8s. But if you wanted the greatest performance, the XJR model was always the one to get. Not only was the XJR fast, but it was also supremely comfortable and agile.
What’s the top speed of a Jaguar XJR?
In 2018, Jaguar introduced the XJR 575, the most powerful variant of the XJR there has ever been. It bumped the power up to 575 hp, as the name suggests, and the torque figure up to 516 lb-ft. The XJR 575 could hit 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 189 mph.
What kind of engine does a 2004 Jaguar XJR have?
Although the 2004 XJR wears an all-new aluminum body, the car’s powertrain—a force-fed 4.2-liter V-8 and a six-speed automatic transmission—has already been sampled in XKR and S-type R variants, so we suspected it would provide strong and smooth thrust. And it did.
Which is better the XJR or the caranddriver?
Lighter is obviously better; lighter and more rigid are better yet, providing a more stable platform for the suspension and powertrain. And when you have nearly 400 horsepower to harness, as does the supercharged XJR model tested here, a stiff structure is essential.
Is the Jaguar XJR made in Castle Bromwich?
Jaguar’s engineers are happy to point out that the seventh-generation XJ-series cars are the first aluminum monocoque structures to be built at Castle Bromwich since the Spitfire fighter aircraft during World War II.
What kind of material is a Jaguar XJR made of?
It’s perhaps no coincidence, then, that these XJ Jaguars are built using aerospace techniques (in this case bonded and riveted sheetmetal with extruded and cast aluminum structural members) instead of around a space-frame concept (like Audi’s A8), which was considered unnecessarily complex.
