>>4464466Yeah I am absolutely disgusted at the EV rebrand, the car doesn't even look that good it's like they took an E-Type and made it gay.
>>4464479Yeah but they cost too much and still have the maintenance costs of my X306, and use a V8 that shares parts with Ford instead of a proper British inline six that was shared with an Aston Martin. The air suspension on them is shit, it's nice for long hauls but on city streets they ride like my track car with Bilstein coilovers which, acceptable and nice on a sports car but not acceptable on a land barge. Most people convert them to coilovers anyway.
The whole reason of owning a Jaaaaag is the uncompromised ride. I did 155 in my XJR and it felt like I was floating. You don't feel shit because the suspension was designed in the 1950s and the only change they made for my X306 was ditching the inboard rear brakes. The rear subframe is almost exactly the same as a Series II except with my XJR it has factory LSD.
The X350 is a good Jag, but not the best XJ they made. That would be the X300 V12 Vanden Plas which was only available in Europe, we got the V12 but only with the regular wheelbase like my XJR. It was the best version of the V12 because it fixed all of the problems the old V12 had and brought the ignition system into the 21st century with Magneti Marnelli wasted spark coil ignition, ditching the distributors and crappy Lucas fuel injection.
The final version of the Jaguar V12 was one of the finest V12 engines ever made, by any company, including Ferrari. Even old man Enzo liked the Jag V12 when he was alive.
