The 2011 Jaguar XJ is priced and equipped to compete with the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S Class, but can it seriously boost Jaguar's sales numbers? We certainly hope so, and are sure to give us your opinion in the comments below.

Curb weight on the standard 2011 Jaguar XJ is just 4,045 pounds, undercutting nearly everything in its segment by a least a few hundred pounds (the Mercedes-Benz S550 is nearly 600 pounds heavier). The new flagship 2011 Jaguar XJ is even lighter than the smaller Jaguar XF – the 2011 Jaguar XJ5.0 model is lighter than its sibling by 22 pounds while the Supersport weighs 25 pounds less than the XF-R

All new 2011 Jaguar XJmodels are fitted with Jaguar's familiar 5.0-liter direct-injected V8 (AJ133) under their aluminum bonnet. The 2011 Jaguar XJ Supercharged adds a twin-scroll supercharger to develop 470 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. Sporting the same supercharger, but with a few engine management tweaks, the 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport cranks out 510 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque.
