It only takes 5.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph, and it
completes the quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds at a speed of 107
mph. You might be led to believe that the Countach is a
perfectly acceptable technique to obfuscate the surroundings
by all of this measured discourse of measured performance,
which is obviously not the case. Nothing about this car makes
sense. The doors open upward in the shape of a paper cutter
rather than gull wings. Over a ledge that is broader than most
transmission tunnels, you slip in.
Surprisingly, the tall can fit in the cockpit. The column
telescopes and tilts far enough for the long of leg to go well back
from their operation, while the seat travels somewhat
rearward. The left front wheel is a major issue since it
encroaches on the footroom, which is common of mid-engined
vehicles. As you move along, you stretch your right leg all the
way to the accelerator while pulling back your left leg.
Jaguar XJS
Probably the first images that come to mind when you think of
a classic Jaguar are models like the E-Type and the magnificent
D-Type. But the great grand tourer, the Jaguar XJS, is one
Jaguar legend that is frequently disregarded. Jaguar of that
era undoubtedly had an air of being a "Old man," and the XJS
was an effort to rectify that.
From 1975 through 1996, British automaker Jaguar Cars
produced and sold the Jaguar XJ-S (later known as the XJS), a
luxury grand tourer available in coupé, fixed-profile, and full
convertible bodystyles. A total of 1,15,413 units were produced
in three different versions over a period of 20 years and 7
months. We can all agree that because this car was produced
for more than 20 years, it had an impact on a whole generation.
