That’s the most angry V12 I’ve ever heard. The Jaguar XJS is a thing of beauty. What a stunning British bruiser. 👍

That Jaguar V12 growl is unique and unmistakable. I could listen to it all day.

That sounds absolutely incredible , what a symphony of V12 goodness 😍😍

If a car was a knuckle duster, this is it. What an absolute thug of a car. Its amazing

That sound is incredible, A V12 in full song is an opera.

The sound of that V12 pure music ❤❤❤❤

That has to be one of the best 12 piece orchestra's I have heard in a long time.

That’s the 1985 Bathurst winner. Mike Roddy should be applauded for using the Jag as TWR intended👍

If i won the lottery ide love to build one of these Jags for the Muscle car masters.

What a sound... British engineering British built... British poetry... And....down under...well done Australia..👍

I remember hearing this car at the AusGP a few years ago, The volume of the sound caught me by surprise

They dont get any better than this,Glourious sounds.

How blessed is Mike Roddy. What an amazing car👍

Jaguar went to Bathurst and won it . Just to prove that Jaguar could beat those yank v8s from Holden and ford anytime they wanted to

Still sounds amazing, but I suspect Tom Walkingshaw treated with less respect during the qualifying lap in Mt Panorama back in 1985 😁

A concerto grosso for 12 cylinders ! Sounds surprisingly good this.

Memories of my youth right there. Worked for a guy named Gil Smale back when I was a young fella… Him and his partner from Jag Services on Cleveland St Sydney raced one of these each, for Ansett Air Freight at several meetings a year around the tracks.

Ha, who wants a Tesla and the Sound of Silence when you can listen to this !!

Back when lads were lads !! Good times mate

After the race had finished I could still hear those Jags go up mountain straight from the area behind the pits

James May surely knew what car to pick for jaaaag skiing

Stunning. That V12 sounds amazing!

Elsewhere here on YT is Tom Walkinshaw's pole-winning lap for the '85 1000 at Mt. Panorama. It is another worth watching. Glorious machines. I'd love to have one like example vintage prepared but streetable for, you know, touring.

This is the sound I was looking for

Shifting like a God.

I find it cool that at some points it almost sounds like an angry Spitfire divebombing

Gorgeous

Those XJSs were so damn cool!

Sounds and looks good..

Wow what a sound :)

What a machine.

Excellent 👍

the super classy looks and a supercar V12 sound, while still being relatively affordable compared to many other things. perfection. if i ever make enough spare cash im dreaming of building a replica of one of these.

How good does that sound?

I think Ken Purdy, who was an automotive Journalist, described the sound from Walkinshaw V12 Jag as having the sonic finess of a bull farting in a chaff bag.

Amazing V12 sound and yet quite different to those from Ferrari for example.

GOLD

Proper racing car!

That cat at full cry.

the only true mass produced v12 engine in a road car, and the only true European manufacturer to ever win the proper Bathurst 1000

Sounds like an angry little Spitfire

Mine is green too😍

I'm sorry, didn't realise how hope these jags were

I'm building a 1930 Ford Model A hot rod and it doesn't have the usual V-8 engine. Know what I mean?

Good lord, that thing is an absolute gorilla!

Should have been called jaguar XJS Cosworth. Not many people will know why or understand.

some one should lower one of these jaguars and protrude the fenders out the top to give it a lower profile center

I believe the speed limit is 55mph. He is in danger of getting a speeding ticket and no muffler will get written up too. If people would leave the house a few minutes earlier, there would be no reason to rush.

Is that the only British car to win at Bathurst 1000

Nissan GTR V12 ??

my word that does sound rather fruity doesnt it

I had a Ford cortina MK1 and the back box fell off. It sounded just like this

An E type is a thing of beauty maybe an XJC this is just a little ugly
