Daimler XJS

1973 – 1977 — Great Britain

The Jaguar XJ-S, later known as the XJS, was a luxury grand tourer produced by British car manufacturer Jaguar Cars from 1975 to 1996. It was available in coupé, fixed-profile, and full convertible styles. Over its 20-year and seven-month production run, a total of 115,413 units were manufactured across three distinct iterations. Originally based on the platform of the XJ saloon, the XJ-S was designed with distinctive rear buttresses that set it apart. The styling was influenced by Jaguar's aerodynamicist, Malcolm Sayer, a pioneer in the application of advanced aerodynamic principles to automotive design. Unfortunately, Sayer passed away before the finalization of the design in 1970
