Notes:
This car reminds me of a seventy-year-old man that never grew up. It is the sort of car that arrives wearing corduroy to the tune of Cities on Flame with Rock and then pulls your pants down and runs away, or would if he could run. So sure it isn’t the fastest car, but you’ll be holding on to your trousers whenever it is around. Even I thought I was joking when I decided to take this car for a drive, but really that was far from a fair attitude toward the old cat. Jaguars were revolutionary at one point in history, after all we had just invented the wheel and three days later Jaguar has the S-Type. The problem is that was the last time Jaguar made a new car. So this Jag is no M5, but it will put an E55 AMG in its place. The price tag isn’t the only thing rivals a Mercedes SL 600 (177.5k Cr.), the speed does too. This cars biggest problem is its looks. If they say the camera adds 10 pounds then this car must add 20 years. But let’s set aesthetics aside for a moment and talk some technical stuff. The 4.2L supercharged V8 now produces 540hp, and sounds wonderful doing it. And of course it still weighs in at 1800kg because no one is going to by a Jag for a stripped out racer. One thing that made this car manageable was the fact that Jaguar used double wishbone suspension all around. So if you feel like bringing the old tea and scones to a race buy this car and don’t forget your sweater vests.
