Jaguar XJR (1997)

The Jaguar XJR (1997) reaches 60 mph in 5.19 s (100 km/h in 5.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.57 s, tripping the lights at 102.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.08 s and the eighth mile in 8.78 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.45 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the XJR

The 1997 Jaguar XJR (1997) is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,845 kg with 370 bhp, which works out at 201 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 201 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.08 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,342nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 63rd quickest of the 187 Jaguars here. Its 102.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Jaguar XJR (1997) 0-60 time?
The Jaguar XJR (1997) reaches 60 mph in 5.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,342nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jaguar XJR (1997) quarter mile time?
13.57 s at 102.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.08 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jaguar XJR (1997) have?
370 bhp and 1,845 kg, which is 201 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jaguar XJR (1997)?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti G37 Sedan 3.7 V6 328 (5.25 s), Lexus GS 460 347 (5.20 s), Infiniti M35h (5.18 s). Each one can be raced against the Jaguar XJR (1997) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Jaguar XJR (1997) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
