   By Eric Rood - June 27, 2017. Jaguar XJ-S V12 shines in classic MotorWeek road test. “It’s been three years since our last visit with the sail-planed Jaguar XJ-S HE and, to be honest, it hasn’t changed much.” We don’t blame MotorWeek’s John Davis for making that statement. By 1987, the V12 grand tourer didn’t need to change much.

   Nov 10, 2010 · Quit. It took me a moment to really believe that I was sailing down the road on inertia; the V-12 was quiet and smooth enough that at triple-digit speeds the relatively low wind noise was still enough to drown out the mechanicals. I slotted the transmission to “N” and started to think.

   How fast is a 1992 XJS V12?

   • MotorWeek tested a 1992 XJS V12 convertible and recorded a 0-60 mph time of 9.0 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 16.8 seconds. Yeah, that's rather slow by today's standards. That gorgeous Jag would get smoked by a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica ( 7.8 seconds to 60) or Honda CR-V ( 7.6 seconds ).

   Are Jaguar XJ-S reliable?

   • The XJ-S and later XJS models were status symbols and as long as the cars were well-maintained, they could be reliable. However, deferred maintenance led to catastrophic failures and repairing a V-12 Jaguar can be almost as expensive as a comparable Ferrari. If you’re interested, look for a one-owner car.

   Nov 3, 2021 · In place of the cast-iron, twin-cam inline-six, Jaguar installed an aluminum-alloy SOHC V12 engine, which restored some of the performance lost to emissions controls, though by the Series 3 introduction in 1971, the E-type was heavier and more of a GT than an outright sports car.
