Story
When the Jaguar XJR-S was launched in August 1988, Jaguar was riding the crest of a reputational wave, having just 
claimed its 6th Le Mans victory and, in 1987, won the World Sportscar Championship.
It was a genuinely bespoke model produced by Jaguar Sport - a high-performance wing jointly owned by Jaguar and the Tom Walkinshaw Racing Group.
 Initially powered by a 5.3-litre V12, the engine was upgraded in 1989 to a bespoke 6.0-litre unit with Zytek fuel injection. It was good for 334 bhp and 160 mph.
Boasting a new forged steel crankshaft, forged alloy pistons, modified air intake and a dual exhaust system, the engine was unique to the XJR-S 
and was only phased out once Jaguar introduced its own 6.0-litre V12.
The XJR-S proved to be an immediate winner with contemporary journalists. 
In a Motor Sport magazine group test, the Jaguar handed out a humiliating spanking to a Porsche 928 GT, a BMW 850i and a Ferrari Mondial T – no mean feat.
Motoring journalist Andrew Frankel recalled that test some years later: "Suddenly, almost 30 years on, we realised we were 
looking at the true successor to the E-type; a car capable of doing to the likes of the Mondial what the E had done to the 250 GT.
Yet, unlike in the Porsche 928 GT, there was no fuss, no drama, no deafening din of tyres on bitumen; there was just calm, relaxed and blindingly fast progress".
While the XJR-S may have looked pretty much like a standard Jaguar XJR coupé, virtually every mechanical part was unique. 
Each car left the factory as a hand-built unit from Jaguar Sport’s manufacturing facility at Bloxham, which had attained legendary 
status as the maverick unit that built the seminal XJ220.
