Jaguar XJ8 Sovereign.

The Sovereign represented the highest luxury specification for Jaguar models, sitting next to the XJR, which provides the ultimate performance. Sovereigns featured more elaborate/expensive wood veneer, commonly highly figured burr walnut; with window control/ashtray trim panels also done in wood veneer as opposed to plastic in other models. The Leather is also of a higher quality and often features contrasting piping, with seats being of the traditional fluted style. The suspension setup was biased towards touring and the wheels were normally 16" or 17" to provide high profile tyres for additional ride quality. Computer Active Technology System adaptive suspension was also offered as a rare option.

Externally a Sovereign can be distinguished by the complete use of highly polished steel/chrome work around windows and rear light clusters; as well as polished radiator grill and boot garnish. The cars are simply badged as "Sovereign" with no mention "XJ".

Jaguar also released a long wheelbase version of the Sovereign in 1998. The difference being that the car is around 4 inches longer, with the rear doors being noticeably longer than the front; there is also correspondingly taller rear roof profile to provide additional headroom. The Long wheel base version provided considerably more rear legroom and made the XJ a true limousine.

The four-liter V8 engine delivers 284 hp and convinces with terrific smoothness. The maximum torque of 375 Newton meters at 3750 revs can expect good.

So the performance is sovereign. The cat jumps from zero to 100 km / h in 7.3 seconds and the top speed is more than adequate 240 km / h.

A lot of cars can go quickly, but there's something unique about how composed Jaguars are at speed. No fuss, just pure effortless power.

What a great video!
No irritating music, just the pure sound of the Jaguar whilst sat in the driving position enjoying the ride. The confidence in the car is clear, 100MPH with one relaxed hand on the wheel!

My XJ8 (1998) excelled. At everything except body roll on curves. And the turn signal clicker sold it. I gave it to my son at 160k miles 6 years ago and he still drives it on weekends. Handsome, awesome car.

I just purchased a 2004 XJ8. One owner, 38, 000mi. I was driving E320 Benz. I don't know if I can ever go back to driving another car. So smooth and absolutely beautiful inside and out. It was an excellent purchase. I wish could drive it on the Autobahn...

[InteloPL]

I don't know how Astons and Jaguars in the 90's-10's did it but when you see it handle at speed and you HEAR it you know that's either a Jag or an Aston. Like it's hungry for road.

[ericrawson]

Love it. Mine is 1998 XJ. 160 miles today, made that sound like 1:07, 1:44, 5:12 a few times today sadly in the UK I am illegal at over half of top speed, so can't really enjoy it without fear of fine or ban. I have always thought I should have lived in Germany, but I have read recently that speed limits are going to be drastically reduced on the Autobahns. No fun allowed these days.

[Svendrys]

I was driving on M25 in UK last day.. I was driving on the 3rd line when I checked my rear view mirror and I saw a car with 4 headlights and the bumps on the hood.. recognized a X308 instantly and moved to the first line to let him through :D what a beauty

[BillofRights]

I have two Vanden Plas sedans, 2001 and 2002. Love them. Not perfect, but I have a superb mechanic that keeps them all of a piece...Imagine 2 Jags and EVERYTHING works on them! They're not the fastest, not the quietest, not the tightest (though they did the AC's right...bone cold and never needed a charge), but I am always delighted to drive them.

[fairrttg]

Finally a true gentlemens car channel. Reviewing classic luxury sedan for a reasonable price here. Please make Rover 75 review! It would fit perfectly

Had two 2001 Vanden Plaus, both were limited at 155 mph and both pulled harder from 130 to 155 than from 80 to 130 . . . . Solid as rock just wind noise seemed excessive over 130 . Both ran into a wall at 155 and both were showing no signs of running out of power when the limiter came in . Both wrecked while I was at traffic lights and both times the car saved my life . One head on and the last from the rear both at substantial speed . Both totaled during the accidents . I now have a 2006 XJR with ' all ' upgrades and no limitations. Previously owned by a Jaguar tech . . . . . barely street able around town very poor manners . . . . . Great interstate car though. Both previous Jags ( Lyons ) were far superior in ride and comfort though and no slouch in performance either.

[theol]

Ahh, old jags, so good, so classy, with no road sound in the car

[sclogse]

Had one for six years. Your average speed seems to be about 95 m.p.h. i got mine up to 130 at 3a.m. with no one around. Ran like a clock. It was as if the car was wondering...what took you so long? People think these big V-8's are slow. All the power is up over 80 m.p.h.

[Demircan]

Just so classy how he sits there with a lady in the passenger seat. One of my dreams to go for a sunday ride like that, with my wife!

[MrMarkhall]

Old Jags, the Chesterfield sofa of cars.

[wanderboy]

I had a 2000 year x308 XJR 4.0 V6 Supercharged, it went to 140 effortless, so smooth, comfortable, and stable. Would've have kept going but 140 was enough for me !!

[pezzonovante]

Really makes me miss my old VDP. The old cliche applies; they don't make em like they used to.

[iam]

Man! The car was accelerating so fast I thought I was gonna crash!!! 😆😆😆

[MavAuto-Pete]

So stable at speed.
Really good car if you get a good one that's been taken care of.

[dev]

This design is one of the sexiest things in the world...

[minutepapillon]

En un mots bonheur..
Merci beaucoup :)
