Vehicle Summary: 2008 Jaguar XJR
The Jaguar XJR model sits atop the British brand's XJ sedan lineup, packing a blazing 400-hp supercharged V8 engine and extra standard equipment plus brake and suspension upgrades.

For those who want it all, there's even a Super V8 trim and equipment level with all the performance features of the standard-wheelbase XJR, plus all the interior amenities of the posh, long-wheelbase Vanden Plas version.
