British auto mag Top Gear has tapped the Jaguar XJ as best luxury car of 2010. The selection continues a trend for the XJ, which is showing up on ‘top’ lists of most magazines and web sites. It is, arguably, the sexiest luxury car on the market today.
The Top Gear team lauded the lightweight aluminum body structure. The car comes in three options – a 5.0 liter V8 good for 385 hp ($72,500), a supercharged 5.0 liter V8 good for 470 hp ($87,500), and a Super Sport supercharged 5.0 liter V8 that’s good for 510 hp ($112,000).
The selection not only mirrors critical acclaim, but public love as well. The Jaguar XJ is now one of the most-sought after luxury cars.
Other awards for the XJ include Automobile Magazine’s ‘2011 Design of the Year’ and ‘Best Executive Sedan’ by the Bloomberg Awards.
