This 1988 European-spec Jaguar XJ-S coupe has been treated to a five-speed manual conversion, as well as a new intake from AJ6 engineering and an aftermarket exhaust system. This is what a V-12 grand touring car should sound like.

YouTube channel V12gents recorded a short drive of the car up a winding mountain road, and we can't stop listening. If you're a fan of big engines with throaty exhausts, you're going to want to watch this.
