Jaguar XJS

==Description==
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 Malcom 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. The car was launched during a fuel crisis where demand for a large V12-powered sports car was understandably low; production was halted for half of 1981 to allow unsold stock to be moved. The car would be produced until 1996, with the car given a substantial facelift in 1991 by Jaguar's new owners Ford. 115,413 were produced.
This casting portrays a US-spec first-generation Jaguar XJS. This was the first Jaguar casting made by Hot Wheels.
