I was wondering what that thing in the picture was too, thinking it might be a radar detector.
I loved the V12 smoothness and power at any speed when I had an XJS
Yeah, the pundits describe the power as 'linear' which works well enough as a descriptor. I enjoy a nice V12 and so far this engine seems okay. It's got a good exhaust note, without being loud and annoying. Considering the era, that's a bit unusual.
I didn't check the 0 to 60 time, I normally don't bother or already know the numbers, but may check tomorrow. If I had to guess, it's probably in the 6 second realm. Again, that's just a guess. It doesn't feel all that heavy, but it's certainly not a light car.
Also, the rear seats are pointless. They are the most useless rear seats I think I've ever seen - like worse than a 911 by a whole lot. I don't think a child's safety seat would even fit in one.
The XJS rear seats were useless too, Good thing my kids were ten and under when I had that! They would not fit back there anymore
I don't think anyone with legs can fit back there. I'm not even all that tall. I'm like 5' 11" and with the seat in my driving position (and I like to be close to the wheel) there's no even three inches between the back of my seat and the front edge of the back seat.
It's like they scooped out two buckets (it's two bucket seats in the rear, with like a dividing console between them that's just a divider) and called it good.
Here... I went and got/made a link from a video. This one obviously isn't mine - mine has a roof.

Yeah... It's that bad. You might get an extra inch or two, as I'm not as tall as the driver in that video is. But, it'll only be an inch or two, at best.
