Model history

This successor to the XJ6 III was developed in collaboration with Ford, retaining the Jaguar design language but significantly improving the vehicle's build quality, durability and serviceability. The XJ40 is the link between the traditional Jaguar XJ6 / XJ12 Series III models and its successor, the XJ300, with which it shares almost all of its technology. The engine compartment of the XJ40 was designed so narrowly that only the in-house 6-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of up to 4.0 liters could be installed, but not the unpopular V8 models from the new Ford parent company. However, the American market in particular demanded the prestigious V12 models, so the decision was made to expand the in-house V12 from 5.3 to 6.0 liters displacement, to modernize it (including making it more efficient) and to expand the entire front end of the XJ40 in order to be able to install the significantly wider, in-house V12 engine from Jaguar. This resulted in the internal series designation XJ81, which was used exclusively with the V12 from 1993 to mid-1994. In the almost two years of production, the total number of units was in the low 4-digit range, of which only a few hundred left-hand drive vehicles still exist in Europe. The V12 models have a number of sporty features as standard in order to bring the higher weight and power to the road in a manner befitting their status.
