About the 1998 Jaguar XJR

The XJR represents Jaguar's most potent saloon of the late '90s, blending supercharged performance with traditional British luxury. Under the bonnet sits a 4.0-liter AJ-V8 with Eaton supercharging, delivering 370hp and transforming the stately XJ into a genuine sports sedan. The computer-controlled adaptive damping and sport-tuned suspension gave it surprising agility for such a large car, while Brembo brakes provided the stopping power to match. Production spanned just six years, making clean examples increasingly sought after. The XJR's understated exterior belied its capabilities, many owners relished the sleeper aspect of embarrassing flashier machinery. Today, collectors appreciate the XJR as perhaps the last truly analog supercharged Jaguar before electronic nannies took over. Values have been climbing steadily, particularly for low-mileage examples with full service histories. It's a compelling alternative to German rivals, offering distinctly British character with genuine performance credentials.
