2003 Jaguar XK-Series XK8 Convertible RWD

Gemini saidThe 2003 Jaguar XK8 Convertible is a landmark year for the first-generation (X100) XK series. This specific model year is highly regarded by enthusiasts because it introduced the more reliable 4.2L engine and a 6-speed transmission, addressing many of the mechanical 'gremlins' that plagued earlier Jaguars.Performance & SpecificationsThe 2003 update moved away from the 4.0L engine to the more robust AJ34 powertrain.FeatureSpecificationEngine4.2L V8 (Naturally Aspirated)Horsepower294 hp @ 6,000 rpmTorque303 lb-ft @ 4,100 rpmTransmission6-Speed ZF Automatic0-60 mphApprox. 6.3-6.6 secondsFuel Economy16 City / 24 Highway (approx. 19 combined)Why the 2003 Model is 'The One'If you are looking for a classic Jaguar experience without the classic Jaguar headaches, 2003 was a turning point for several reasons:Engine Durability: It replaced the problematic Nikasil-lined bores with steel liners and moved away from the fragile plastic timing chain tensioners found in 1997-2002 models.The Transmission: The new ZF 6-speed automatic provided much smoother shifting and better highway efficiency than the previous 5-speed.Updated Styling: Subtle exterior refreshes included clear-lens headlights and new wheel designs, giving it a slightly more modern look while keeping the 'E-Type' inspired curves.www.ellectramotors.com@Ellectra_MotorsEllectra Motors224 E 1St StreetSanta Ana, CA 92701Tel & Text: 951.900.1614
