It
seems these days Mother Cat never tires. With the introduction
of the Super V8 Portfolio, Jaguar has added a fifth
derivative to its XJ line up. Like its sibling the SV8,
with the Portfolio you get a supercharged engine, this
time boosted to slightly over 400 horsepower. It comes
in trippy colors such as an iridescent black cherry,
has a warm American black walnut interior with extra
supple leather seats, wheels with a retro Jaguar logo
and is built in a Long Wheel Base platform that is five
inches longer than a standard XJ.
Jaguar
put in a super powerful entertainment/audio system,
which amongst other things allows the rear passengers
individual DVD viewing … but only two of them.
Indeed this is a four-seater, as the middle seat has
been taken up by all that technology, Bluetooth integration
being one of the many features. One distinctive exterior
element is the vent or gill on the side of the engine
compartment. The automobile was issued originally as
a concept car and now retails for $116,000, making it
the most expensive cat on the road. Unfortunately for
you, the first year production is sold out.  |
