Very nice shots. I got my XJL SS in July too. Love those Amirante wheels. I find they really suit the car's sporty elegance.

It's a rare enough event just seeing XJ's here in Toronto. I always feel starved to see one on the road period. But a Botanical Green XJ SS with those optional wheels is probably quite a rare beast and must turn a few heads on the street.

RoonieQ,

Completely agree.
I have been seeing more Jag's then normal but older models.
I travel from New York City to Gettysburg every three months.
Also down to Washington D.C.

Since I have the car, 2011, I have seen three XJ's, more XF then anything.
I have never seen, on the road, or in a jag lot a XJ Super Sport.

I have tried to get the sales numbers, but they seem to be a guarded
secret. Why?? I have no idea. Many guess and come up with ridicules numbers I won't even repeat.

Also the book stats are 'Wrong' the only one I find true is gas mileage.
0 to 60, could be called an out and out lie and two car mags almost did.
While testing the XJ Super Charge L ( they could not get SS) one did 0-60
4.1 the other 4.0 ( The book give 4.7? about) these tests were 2011.
The car in unrated.
There is a speed shop advertised here. I pass it while in NYC. They say 510hp could go to 604hp..................I'm thinking about it.

Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

~THANK YOU~

Lovely car Pa.Bill. And such nice options with the wheels. I agree on how rare they are... I have seen only one XJ on Toronto streets since I started researching this car to buy. Now that I have a XJL since late June, I just haven't seen any on the street. A few XFs and one F type.

Thank you. When looking through the wheel options and seeing these, the surprise
is that they are lighter then most and cleaning is not all that bad.
But like almost everyone, the brake dust is a pain in the ***.

I find brake dust to be a problem with luxury cars all the time. I wish there was a way to avoid it.

What a beautiful car. Love the wheels! Never seen 'em before.

These XJs always stop me in my tracks when I see them on the street. So rare, such presence.

Beautiful car, enjoy! Don't really see many SS on the street. My cousin has one, other than that, don't really recall last time I saw another one.
