In road-going form, it was a sharper, lower, better-handling V12 Jaguar with upgraded suspension, bodywork, exhaust, brakes, and a more focused cabin, aimed at turning the grand tourer into something much more driver-focused.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-bold [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"what-it-was\"\u003eWhat it was\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-bold [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eTWR took the Jaguar XJS\/XJ-S platform and applied lessons from its ETCC race programme, where the V12-powered cars became highly competitive and reportedly developed to around 450 bhp in race trim. Jaguar liked the result enough that it formed a partnership with TWR, creating Jaguarsport and offering a more road-oriented TWR version of the car.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-bold [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"why-it-mattered\"\u003eWhy it mattered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;_h1:first-of-type]:mt-8 [\u0026amp;_h2:first-of-type]:mt-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-bold [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe appeal was that it kept the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eV12\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003echaracter—smooth power, long-legged torque, and a distinctive exhaust note—but made the car feel much more agile and purposeful than a standard XJS.
