  • John Steed’s Famous Muscled-Up Jaguar Found and Goes on Sale

    1976 Jaguar XJ-C 12 Front View1976 Jaguar XJ-C 12 is a mix of a classic car and a muscle one at first glance. However, there is more to that and I couldn’t help myself but write about it! First, I must tell you that this one-off jewel, painted in Racing Green, is owned by John Steed… Well, owned is a very strong word when I’m talking about a fictional character, of course.

    Who is John Steed?

    But if you happen to not know, who John Steed is, here is a little bit of information for you. Called also Major The Hon, John Wickham Gascoyne Beresford Steed is the main protagonist in the popular TV series ‘The Avengers’ and the ‘The New Avengers’, aired in the 60s and 70s.

    In short, the story of Steed is the following: he is a secret agent working for the British intelligence. He was known for his impeccable dress, comprised of three-piece suit with bowler and umbrella! Now you recalled who he is, didn’t you?

    John Steed’s Big Cat was elegantly tweaked, tuned and pumped. It is based on the XJ Coupe, which boasted a dozen cylinders offering 5.3 litres. Steed’s popular Jaguar is the eighth XJ-C 12 made.

    Back in the days, it was originally an experimental model. It included Broadspeed body kit and extra-wide wheels, which were specifically fitted for the TV series and contributed for the special muscular look of the car.

    On Sale

    H&H Classics has just announced that the car Steed’s Jaguar now goes on sale. The price is estimated as low as £10,000 to £12,000 and the sales event will happen on 14th of October.

  • PIECHA Design Recreates Jaguar F-Type R Coupe

    2015 PIECHA Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Front ViewPIECHA Jaguar F-Type R Coupe is another fantastic tuning created by the talented specialists at the PIECHA Design studio. This tailor made performance edition of the F-Type 5.0 V8 R-Coupe looks fantastic and exudes an elegant dynamism, even at rest.

    To achieve this, the tuner has added new aerodynamic styling kit made from the finest high-gloss carbon. In addition, 21-inch PIECHA MP-Y alloys in high-gloss silver finish round out the new visual appearance of the Jaguar.

    Exterior

    PIECHA Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Side View

    Jaguar F-Type R Coupe has a purposeful stance even without any additional changes. However, this look is emphasized via the dramatic modifications to the front and rear. Starting with the back, there is a new wide carbon diffuser with two vertical stabilizing fins. We also see satin textured bezel framing the four 90 mm exhaust tailpipes.

    SEE ALSO: PIECHA with Evolutionary Design for the Jaguar F-Type 

    There is more to that, the rear deck also received aerodynamically optimized carbon rear wing. Its black anodized aluminum and support struts are very detailed and speak of a lot of attention given.

    At the front, we see high-gloss lacquered carbon front cup wings and carbon sill wings. They give the body of the car wider, more wedge-shaped appearance. The front wings were attached to the original spoiler lip, thus making the front spoiler appear deeper.

    Suspension

    PIECHA Jaguar Type R Coupe Rear View

    A special lowering system was developed for this project. The bespoke height-adjustable coil-over spring setup was created to match the front end. The tuners added also new springs to the rear.

    At the front, the suspension includes main spring and a helper spring separated by a threaded, height adjustable spring pan. This system provides a lowering adjustment range of between 10 and 30 mm. And this is from stock ride height.

    Wheels & Tires

    The improved optics and handling, received new MP-Y high-glass silver wheels fitted with Yokohama ADVAN Sport tires. While the alloys come in 9.0 and 10.5 x 21 inch sizes, the rubbers are 255/30R21 and 295/25R21 big, respectively.

    This Jaguar F-Type is available for 3.0-litre V6 and 5.0 litre V8 Coupé and Convertible models.

  • Why this Jaguar F-Type Convertible in More Dynamic Than the Others

    I am very keen on Jaguars. Who’s with e in this? Well, this time I am going to tell you the story of this F-Type Convertible, which has received some special attention from the specialists at KW Automotive. Yes, this means better handling and driving dynamics (if that’s possible) for this Jaguar. The classic design of the car has been inspired by the legendary models in company’s line-up.

    The engine range of this unique (in my opinion) car features two units, the 3.0 liter V6 with two output variants of 340HP (250 kW) and 380HP (280 kW), and the highly acclaimed 5.0-litre V8 boasting 495HP (364 kW) and 625Nm (463 lb-ft) of torque.

    The 340HP V6 version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds and has a top speed of 260 km/h (161 mph), while the 380HP model covers this sprint in 4.9 seconds on its way to a Vmax of 275 km/h (171 mph). The V8 is even more capable, it reaches the 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and its top speed is electronically limited at 300 km/h (186 mph).

    These numbers basically showed KW Automotive specialists that the Jaguar needed better suspension. Therefore they have developed new coilover kits for the model which feature independent compression and rebound damping adjustment.

    Precisely, for this Jaguar F-Type convertible they have added the stainless steel KW Variant 3 coilover suspension kit, which not only increases driving dynamics, but also allows for continuously adjustable lowering of up to 35 mm.

    Height-adjustable spring kit is also an option hear. Unlike other conventional lowering springs, this KW kit allows individual lowering from 5 to 25 mm on the front axle and from 10 to 30 mm on the rear axle. So this means enough free spring travel available for the F-Type’s sporty behavior.

  • Arden Introduces the 665HP Jaguar Race Cat

    Do you remember Arden tuning company? If you do, then you should also remember that it specializes in modifying Jaguar automobiles. An interesting fact that you might don’t know is that it has been doing so for more than 40 years now. The latest project of the specialists involves the Jaguar again (because we have seen other cars in their range too).

    It is called AJ 23 Race Cat and under this name we see a black F-Type, which has received so many updates. Besides the interior, everything else was changed in some way. Well, we suspect that the cabin has also received some significant updates, but the tuner will release more information at a later time.

    Exterior

    Starting with the outer looks of the vehicle, at its front it has received handcrafted stainless steel grid and the additional flaps on the spoiler. On the other hand, the rear got a new diffusor, which has increased the contact pressure at the rear axle for better grip and handling.

    In addition, Arden’s sports kit also adds new springs that reduce the height of the car by 25 mm. This is then emphasized with the Sportline 21-inch multi-spoke chrome wheels.

    Drivetrain 

    The athletic appearance of the car is strengthened by upgrades to the power output. First, we should mention the high-performance exhaust system with flap control as well as the new sport catalysts, which add around 20 hp to the power of the V8 engine. In fact, the flap control is optimized back pressure which not only delivers beautiful sound effects, but also achieves optimum performance.

    The other stage of the performance kit (depending on customer’s wish) adds a power increase of 40 hp and 50 Nm, which has been done with change in the parameters of the engine map.

    At last, there is a supercharger kit, which customizes the V8 so that it can pump out up to 665 hp (489 kW). This has been achieved with the application of a supercharger-powertrain made from high-alloyed aluminum in combination with new forged pistons. Combined with the exhaust system, this performance package reaches its complete power. And Arden assures us that there is great power throughout the whole rpm- range.
