Video review: The 2011 supercharged Jaguar XJ is one glorious leather-wrapped cashmere feline ride

IMG_1616

There’s nothing that says you’ve made it in life quite like a Jaguar.

And there’s no better and more expensive Jaguar to drive than the flagship, or is it flagcat, supercharged Jaguar XJ.

For just 10K short of a cool one hundred thousand dollars you can indeed have it all and let that world know that you do indeed have it all. This newest and sleekest Jaguar manages to combine speed, power, room and luxury in one glorious leather-wrapped, tied up with a cashmere bow, feline ride.

With 470 horsepower, and plenty of room for five adults, you’d think the supercharged Jaguar XJ would be a ponderous heavy weight stalking the top shelf BMWs and Mercs of the world. But since it is almost entirely made of aluminum this big cat pounces the competition at the stoplight like a world class sprinter with a 0 to 60 time of just under 5 seconds.

But what makes this Jag so special is not what it has in common with the competion, but instead the quirky differences that make this Jaguar a real Jaguar.

Check out the video review to see why this cats claws are now razor sharp.
