It was code-named X100 and it was to be Jaguar's latest sports cars, featuring both coupe and convertible coachwork. It was to have an all-new V8 engine and it was to replace the XJS.

The Jaguar XK8 was launched to great acclaim in 1996 as the successor to the XJS, and the model range has been built on ever since.

Nearly 10 years after its launch, the styling remains virtually unchanged, which says a lot for the original concept. This fascinating, all-color book is essential reading for all XK8 owners and enthusiasts.
