2011 Jaguar XJL Supersport Review
Join host Ross Rapoport as he reviews the 2011 Jaguar XJL Supersport, the L referring to the long wheelbase version and the “supersport” classification warranted by its impressive performance. True to its heritage, the XJL lives up to Jaguar’s old sales slogan of “Grace, Space, Pace”.
The XJ first hit roads in 1968 and has been evolving ever since. For 2011, Jaguar took a risk with the re-design of the XJL’s rear styling. While the car remains distinctly Jaguar, the modern style updates are a nice change. On the inside, both the driver and the passengers will be riding in style and comfort.
Performance-wise, the XJL Supersport is a beast with a 0-60mph time of 4.7 seconds and a 5-liter V8 that produces 510 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque. With the supercharger, max torque can be achieved at a mere 2,500 rpm. Considering the output of the XJL, the fuel economy averages of 15 city and 21 highway can be considered decent to good for a vehicle of this type.
As Ross mentioned in the review, sticker shock might hit prospective buyers when they see a starting price of $113,200 (as-tested price of $114,075). But, when considering its competitors (the the Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series), the XJL’s performance and price are unmatched.
[..YouTube..] Does this come with a chauffeur? LOL
[..YouTube..] the classic look was passed it im pleased jag is getting rid of it for more modern design its been long over due and im sure Sir William Lyons(founder of jaguar) would agree. good buy old xj and so long to worst car jag made the s type (and i mean the 1999 to 2008 one).

[..YouTube..] Typo *bye not buy
[..YouTube..] @jimmyhoffa9 Typo *bye not buy
[..YouTube..] This is highly contradictory. I crumbled getting myself on the same wave when he said the car competes directly with Aston and Porsche. So I go with it. Then says that others are playing catch up (I laughed because I just finished watching the S-Class review, an appropriate competitor, as he was using the same line with it) Then uses Mercedes and others as comparison who are the actual competitors. Wow me with something new about the car not the tables that Jag has been using for years!

[..YouTube..] he dosnt no shit audi a8 w12 got 450hp dumbass
[..YouTube..] I love Jaguars. I just wish they held their value like the others in its class. Reliability is relative in my opinion, and if a car company’s main objective is just that, then the car is probably not very exciting in most respects.
[..YouTube..] Also, I love Jaguar’s exhaust-note. I think that’s where it all began with me.
[..YouTube..] Its price is the best argument to buy it.
[..YouTube..] Its price is the best argument to buy it.
[..YouTube..] XJ L is so long
[..YouTube..] One day I will have a Jaguar. And my life’s goal will be completed.
[..YouTube..] this car looks best in short wheel-base and black
[..YouTube..] @Dumblikeyoutu that means you can buy it for 1/2 price in 3 years.
[..YouTube..] that means you can buy it for 1/2 price in 3 years.
[..YouTube..] that means you can buy it for 1/2 price in 3 years.
[..YouTube..] literally rip your face off, huh? Sounds painful
[..YouTube..] He so small!
[..YouTube..] He so small!
[..YouTube..] He so small!
[..YouTube..] He so small!
[..YouTube..] He so small!
[..YouTube..] He so small!
[..YouTube..] Maserati Quattroporte GTS is probably a good competitor too.
[..YouTube..] It really ripped your face off huh
[..YouTube..] LOL He looks so small in the back seat.
[..YouTube..] Audi A8L W12 has 500hrs power and cost the same. A AM Rapide is a all other league, a good journalist would know that. Plus that everyone that knows something about cars know that a longwheelbased car offers more legroom and not a bigger booth.
[..YouTube..] 1:23 “but not when you consider the competition”…..minivan in background, on cue
[..YouTube..] How tall is this guy? He looks so small!
[..YouTube..] It’s 500 hp, not 500hrs power (hours power?)
An AM Rapide, not A AM Rapide.
It’s in a whole different league, or another league.
It’s called a boot, not a booth.
It’s too easy to go into how inane your thinking is that I just won’t.
[..YouTube..] yeah, the rapide is in a lower league
[..YouTube..] Those tables in the back seats never lie flat.
[..YouTube..] Ross, if you go to the Audi website, in the A8 (to me a better package) it has an option of a W12 engine which has 500hp and gets from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds, it also is only 133,000.
[..YouTube..] 5’3
[..YouTube..] The guy looks so short!
[..YouTube..] The guy looks so short!
[..YouTube..] There isn’t an Audi in existence that offers 400HP???? lol, what about the 4L S8 with 500HP or the W12 with 520????
[..YouTube..] When they filmed this the only A8 you could buy was the A8 4.2 packing 372hp. So he is right, the S8 isn’t even here yet and the W12 was just recently made available.
