Jaguar XJS (1978)

The Jaguar XJS, initially marketed as the XJ-S, is a grand touring sports car manufactured by Jaguar. Designed by Doug Thorpe, the car was initially originally styled by Malcolm Sayer who penned the car's initial shape but died before the car could be completed, with Thorpe finishing design work. The car was introduced on 10 September 1975 and was powered by a 5.3L Jaguar V12 initially with a choice between manual and automatic transmissions although the manual transmission was quickly dropped.
