Not sure about the bodywork, but the performance sounds wicked. Head to the HP for the full breakdown. What do you think?

bodywork is all out of wack!

the door does not align with fender lines, front and rear, and that style of lower body add ons is really out dated.

but yes 7L of V12 is just so kool.

Always liked the blacked out headlight surrounds and grill, but not on a red car. If this car fell into my lap, I'd get rid of the bodywork (and store it for posterity) and drive the car.

Those fenders kill it for me. Start off nice then straightedge flat. Poor panel alignment doesn't help.

At at least this isn't a Le Mans. That nose!

Yeah, that's likely what I'd do to.

I can't find a single redeeming quality...other than it's a Jaguar XJS.

Doug,

What's the matter with you? Didn't you see the red color coordinated battery cover in the boot?

EDIT - btw, this is the first time that I've looked at any XJS and had the Pontiac Fiero came to mind... thanks a lot.

That car is not supercharged looking at the pics of the engine bay, the twin supercharged Lister used 2 Albrex centrifugal superchargers believe it or not down the front of the engine.

Here are a couple of pics of the 7.0L SC Lister engine
