Good God!  Does anyone have info on this car? It seems that little is available.  All I know is that it looks amazing.

I think - not sure but I think - it's the same as the XJ Super V8 Portfolio only on the short wheelbase.  This:

... but shorter.  Hard to be sure, because there's more Jag XJ models than I can keep track of right now.

Gorgeous.  :praise:

IMO right up there with the Audi A8, MB S-Class and Lexus LS460 as the most elegant cars in this class.  :ohyeah:

Oh, and don't forget the Infiniti Q!!! :rockon:

No...This blows them all out of thw water.   Although I can say with no Bais that the S-65 in the right colors looks absolutely badass.

I want that car...bad.

So much class.  Nothing says, "I've got lots of money" more than that car.

A 75' built on today's underpinnings and mechanicals would be AMAZING.

But for now, I want a XJR portfolio.

I love the XJ, and CV's photoshop of the coupe is stunning.  Its a gorgeous car, my favorite in the segment.

Other than the tacky vent, it looks great.
