The Jaguar XK-SS is a road-going version of the Jaguar D-Type racing car. It was produced between 1956 and 1957 with only 16 units produced. The XK-SS is powered by a 3.4-liter inline 6-cylinder engine that produces around 250 horsepower. The car was designed for high-speed driving, with a top speed of around 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).
Most changes on the car were made for comfort and safety purposes. The XK-SS includes a new larger windscreen, a folding soft top, a passenger side door, luggage grid & extra luxury trim. It is highly sought after by car collectors and enthusiasts due to its rarity, beauty, and performance. Its sleek and aerodynamic design, combined with its powerful engine, make it a true sports car classic.
