Test Drive Jaguar XJR 2013 - NV Sedan
Monument to myself erected
50 years in the ranks Jaguar suspension does not have time to work out the pits, the steering wheel is the most non-informative of all machines, with emergency braking, the back of the car is strongly unloaded. But when moving in direct competitors, XJR does not. Obsoles everything that moves! At the same time, in the limit modes, it is predictable, without pricks ... Entered into the hypnotic trans Lesha Vasilyev whispers these words, and I understand: the fastest and low-fat fireplace in the world fascinated and his. The compressor so maintains the firewood of hydrocarbons in the V-shaped eight firebox, that the acceleration wants to experience again and again. So far, Audi and Maserati engines are spinning to the operating range, the Jaguar driver already reappets the cigar on the finish. The compressor is turned on simultaneously with the starter, so Jaguar tears claws faster than competitors. And the point is not even in the numbers of overclocking from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.3 s. In sensations! One of the few cars in which the speed of thought during overtaking coincides with the acceleration. Periodically, the thought is delayed, does not have time for XJR. The gearbox sometimes does not even pass the transmission below: Why waste time for switching if the thrust and so enough?
The compressor is not only a valuable torque with idle turns, but also indescribable moan. Evil oil perfumes Siberia, burning in hell of the G8 cylinders, spend! And if you are not Don Vasilyev, be careful. Rear-wheel drive and free stabilization system sometimes produce demons of leading wheels to freedom. Electronics will not go for you immediately.
Steering wheel in Jaguar English. Light. Plus, notable rolls in turns can, well, they, serpentines? The design and power breed of XJRs featured almost half a century. Agree: Adults are not fussing on turns. All the same at the outlet of the abnormal rivals will stay behind. Q.E.D.
The power under the hood is, but from where in the salon Ford Presence? Apparently, the letters of gentlemen do not reach the ocean. Otherwise why car cost more than one hundred thousand euro key from Ford Fiesta? Who gave the right to the manager to climb into the Lord's wardrobe? Cesarean must be Cesarean. Therefore, the key, the button of the center console and the plastic trifles of the cabin are driving, interfer with the plastic and send in the envelope to the Ford office. You can ride without them: wood and skin will be enough for everyone. And spiritual heat: the most friendly, living cabin. And spacious: a lot of places, there is a TV.
On the usual road XJR rides the cloud in the pants, quietly quietly ... smoothly smoothly ... Soft-softly ... Sleep, Bai-Bai, Tsight the best car for the passenger. True, the Vasilyev racer, coming out of the hypnotic trance, notes not the best side support of the seats, calls the XJR sofa on the wheels. It will notice that the comfort was made to the detriment of sports: the machine switches smoothly, does not slow down the engine, and it does not have the usual manual mode.
We do not care.
Your business, Lesha, steering. Our command. And now we are with the ladies of extra champagne. Then next to the traffic lights will be Audi S8 and Maserati Quattroporte. And you, Lesha, press the gas until it stops. While I will open a new bottle, they will stay behind. And then we will go quietly and without turns. To champagne not splash.
The XJR curtain of the whole era, with a real tree in the cabin and classicism in the design. Wishing to say goodbye to suit faster, on the threshold a new generation of model. A completely different appearance
Zhabra, discs, two trunks in the trunk. Proprietary style is rushing for the vest, the main thing when overclocked does not indulge
Present tree, real leather and real Ignition key Ford. If it were not for this, we would be delighted. And just like it + admire the comfort
You will be most convenient for you, sir! Plus the remote control of the audio system and other joys of life. And do not forget about the soft suspension and beautiful noise insulation
To whom archaism, and to whom the classics. Drub it
Without manual-petal mode and display on the panel. But it does not switch up when the transfer is fixed!
