1988 Jaguar - XJS

Product Details

1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible, finished in red with a beige soft top and a red interior. This convertible's factory-fitted V12 has been replaced by a 5.7-liter "LT1" V8 reportedly sourced from a 1992 Corvette. The list of modifications reported by the seller also includes a Vortech Superchargers V-1 supercharger kit, a Boost Retard boost controller, 18-inch wheels, KONI parts in the suspension system, and a Lister body kit. More details about the aftermarket parts installed on this car are provided below, and the California-issued certification label is pictured in the gallery..Factory equipment includes a power-operated soft top, wood interior trim, leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable seats, and air conditioning.Jaguar introduced the XJS for 1976 as a replacement for the celebrated E-Type. It was originally offered only as a V12-powered coupe, but a convertible joined the range for 1987 and a 6-cylinder engine was made available in 1993. The XJS received several visual and mechanical updates over a production run that ended up being much longer than even Jaguar anticipated. Sales ended after the 1996 model year.Power comes from a 5.7-liter V8, rated at 300 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque when left stock and naturally-aspirated. The supercharger likely increases those figures significantly, but a dyno sheet is not available. The engine spins the rear wheels via a General Motors-sourced 4-speed automatic transmission.
