1997 Jaguar XK8 Coupe

Bob Golfen said it best. Here’s part of it. A voluptuous body, silky-smooth manners and a voice that purrs seductively in a refined British accent. Pretty fast, too. Hey, wait, we're talking cars here.

And the car we're talking about is the sparkling Jaguar XK8 coupe, the lush and lovely descendant of a classic lineage of sports cars, racing cars and beautiful saloons (which is what the English call their four-door sedans)...the XK8 coupe remains about the sexiest, most desirable automobile since the early years of the XKE, in the 1960s.

XK8 is very beautiful, perhaps the loveliest of all modern automobiles, and instantly recognizable as a Jaguar. People favor the balanced look of the coupe, which also has a semblance of a back seat. There are quite a few hints of the fabled XKE in the styling of the XK8, particularly the shark like grille in the rounded front end.

The original version of the E-type, as the XKE is known among enthusiasts, remains a stylistic standout, and a perennial favorite among collectors. That lasting appeal could be in the future of the XK8.

But the XK8's resemblance to the XKE is only skin deep. The E-type was a sharp-edged sports car, built for performance and bearing a significant racing heritage, while the XK8 is more of a grand-touring craft, softer and more luxurious.

Unlike the cramped, simple cockpit of the XKE, the wood-and-leather interior of the XK8 is spacious (for two) and well-appointed, with a full cargo of power accessories and a superb stereo system.

Simply beautiful.
