Jaguar XJR 6 Supercharged (1997) – A true collector’s classic
Fast, elegant, and extremely rare! For sale is a beautiful Jaguar XJR from the X300 series, from the final production year of the legendary inline-six engines. The XJR 6 was the first Jaguar with factory supercharging and is now regarded by enthusiasts as one of the most robust and characterful models ever to leave the traditional marque.
Under the low, elegant bonnet is the legendary 4.0-litre AJ16 inline-six with an Eaton M90 supercharger, producing 322 hp (240 kW) and a mighty 412 Nm of torque. Paired with the indestructible GM automatic transmission, this Jaguar offers performance on the level of a contemporary BMW M5 – wrapped in the finest British sophistication.

Highlights & special features of this XJR:
This car was delivered as a special request with the “standard” chrome specification, a so-called wolf in sheep’s clothing. It was subsequently given an additional mild performance upgrade.
Luxury equipment: Electrically adjustable leather seats with memory function, automatic climate control, cruise control, and the original Jaguar sound system.
Condition & maintenance: originally delivered in Switzerland, now with EU papers, garaged, full service history, regularly serviced, original paintwork, rust-free.
The Jaguar is in a very well-maintained, almost as-new condition. The engine starts silky-smooth, maintains the temperature perfectly, and the transmission shifts cleanly through the gears.
Why this particular Jaguar?
The XJR6 (X300) is an absolute insider tip. It combines the indestructible six-cylinder technology with the classic, low-slung Jaguar silhouette, which was already slightly altered in its successor (X308 with V8). A vehicle with guaranteed potential for appreciation that is equally appealing as a daily driver and as a collector’s item for weekend outings.
The vehicle can be viewed and test-driven by prior arrangement in Steyr, Austria.
It is being sold on behalf of a private customer.
