Jaguar XJ Spider Pininfarina

The Jaguar XJ Spider Pininfarina concept car.

Vehicle Overview

The Jaguar XJ Spider: Thirty-seven years after production of the legendary Jaguar E-type ceased, we’re still waiting for a descendant with worthy credentials. But the XJ Spider – designed by Emanuele Nicosia at Pininfarina for the 1978 British Motor Show – stimulated Jaguar to seriously explore the idea of an ‘F-type’ spiritual successor. To respond to those who did not see the XJ-S as the worthy heir to the E-Type in 1978 Pininfarina created a prototype that echoed its line while using contemporary mechanics. The XJ-S’s 5.3 liter V12 engine produced 284 hp and was mated to an automatic gearbox. Despite sharing the same floor with the XJ-S, the Jaguar XJ Spider Pininfarina was shorter, wider and lower than the XJ-S, which gave it a sportier appearance. Despite everything, the car remained a prototype and never went into production.
