Jaguar X308 XJR listings 132 for sale now
The X308 generation Jaguar XJR, produced from 1998 to 2003, marked a significant step for the brand's performance sedans. It was the first XJR to feature a V8, specifically the supercharged 4.0L AJ-V8 engine. This Eaton-supercharged unit produced 370 hp and 387 lb-ft of torque, sending a large, luxurious sedan from 0-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. It blended traditional Jaguar styling, with its long hood and low roofline, with the muscle to compete with its German rivals.
Collectors appreciate the X308 XJR as a high point in Jaguar design and engineering. It retains the classic profile that defined the XJ for decades, yet it's modern enough to be a comfortable and reliable driver. The supercharged 'R' model is the most desirable of the range, offering a distinct performance advantage and subtle visual cues like a mesh grille and specific 18-inch wheels. It's often seen as the last of the truly traditional-looking fast Jags.
Buying Tips
- Check for proof that the original plastic timing chain tensioners have been replaced with the updated metal versions. This is a critical failure point on the 4.0L V8.
- Early engines used Nikasil cylinder liners, which could be damaged by high-sulfur fuel. A compression test is recommended to check for bore wash or wear.
- Inspect the cooling system carefully. Plastic thermostat housings can crack, and water pumps are a common wear item. Overheating can cause catastrophic engine failure.
- The CATS adaptive suspension dampers can fail and are expensive to replace. Check for leaks and ensure there are no suspension warning lights on the dashboard.
- Test all electronics, from the power seats and windows to the climate control. Pixel failure on the instrument cluster display is also a common issue.
