2011 Jaguar XJ L Supercharged

2011 Jaguar XJ L Supercharged is creating the first-generation XJ sedan and declaring the car to not only be the best his company had ever produced, but also among the fastest when equipped with the optional 5.3-liter V-12 engine. The last car to be designed by Lyons himself, the sleek, low-slung XJ was a marked departure from the stodgy, old-world sedans that characterized the class. The automotive press bestowed accolades on the new model, and some even named it the best car in the world. 

The design are sleek, angular units inspired by those of the sporty XF. An oversized, vertical front grille gives the imposing image Jaguar design chief Ian Callum sought, while an arching roofline and blacked-out D-pillars instill four-door-coupe style that puts the nail in the coffin for the traditional three-box XJ. Out back, French styling similarities can be found, with a somewhat abrupt trunk line and dramatic vertical taillights that curve up towards the XJ's C-pillars.
