Model history

The Jaguar XJ of the X308 series was produced from 1997 to 2003 and represented the final stage of development of the XJ40 platform, which had been in production since 1986. Technically and visually advanced, it introduced the modern AJ V8 engine to the XJ series for the first time and continued to rely on the proven Jaguar-typical independent rear axle concept for high driving comfort. As the successor to the X300, the X308 combined classic British design with contemporary technology, marking the end of an era within the traditional XJ model series.

    Sehr geehrter Fahrzeughalter. Es ist nett wenn Sie die Lackstärke zeigen um zu deklarieren das das Fahrzeug womöglich unfallfrei ist. Ichvfrage mich ob mit dem scheinbar massiven Rost am Unterboden und an den Aufhängungen man in Österreich überhaupt eine Importtulassung erhält. Mfg Mag. Franz Rust

      Technik: Der Jaguar XJ (X308) ist eine Oberklasselimousine der XJ-Reihe des britischen Automobilherstellers Jaguar. Basierend auf der 1986 eingeführten XJ40-Plattform kamen erstmals in der seit 1968 angebotenen XJ-Serie V8-Motoren statt der bisherigen 6- und 12-Zylinder-Aggregate zum Einsatz. Das Karosseriedesign, welches sich äußerlich nur in Details vom Vorgänger X300 unterscheidet, entstand unter der Regie des damaligen Jaguar-Chefdesigners Geoff Lawson. Der X308 ist eine Weiterentwicklung des 1994 erschienenen X300, der wiederum trotz eines wesentlich veränderten Außendesigns eine Modellpflege der 1986 erschienenen XJ40-Baureihe darstellt. Während das Außendesign größtenteils vom Vorgänger X300 übernommen wurde, erhielt der Innenraum, insbesondere die Türverkleidungen sowie das Cockpit, ein deutliches Re-Design mit weicheren, geschwungeneren Linien. Der X308 wurde im Herbst 1997 vorgestellt und übernahm den bereits im Vorjahr in der Coupè- bzw. Cabriolet-Serie X100 eingeführten V8-Motor AJ-V8 mit 3,2 und 4,0 Litern Hubraum. Mit Saugmotor wurde der Jaguar X308 als XJ8, XJ Executive, als Sovereign oder als Daimler V8 angeboten. Die Kompressor-aufgeladene Variante des AJ-V8 4,0 Hubraum und 267 kW/363 PS kam in zwei charakterlich deutlich verschiedenen Modellvarianten zum Einsatz, in dem auf sportlich getrimmten Jaguar XJR sowie im Komfort- und Luxus-orientierten Daimler Super V8 (in manchen nicht-europäischen Märkten als Jaguar 4.0 Vanden Plas Supercharged bezeichnet). Im Modelljahr '99 wurden die AJ-V8-Saugmotoren mit der internen Bezeichnung AJ-26 von den überarbeiteten Aggregaten AJ-27 abgelöst. Der durch einen Eaton-Kompressor aufgeladene AJ-26S wurde im Folgejahr durch den AJ-27S abgelöst. Die Kraftübertragung erfolgt ausnahmslos über Fünfgang-Automatikgetriebe auf die Hinterräder. LG Tom
