PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES: THE XKSS RIDES AGAIN
Jaguar has announced plans to build nine new XKSS’s.

Just 16 were originally completed for export to the USA before the remaining nine were destroyed in the famous Browns Lane factory fire of February 12th 1957.

59-years on, nine brand new XKSS’s will be meticulously hand-crafted by Jaguar Classic to the exact 1957 specification and made exclusively available to a select group of collectors and customers.

Inspired by the Lightweight E-type project, each new XKSS continuation will be being painstakingly hand-built at Jaguar’s new facility in Warwick.

The story of the XKSS began with the all-conquering D-type’s three successive Le Mans victories in 1955, 1956 and 1957. After this ‘Mr. Jaguar’ Sir Williams Lyons had the supreme vision to convert the remaining 25 D-type racers into road-going versions – thus creating the world's first ever supercar.

Tim Hannig, Director, Jaguar Land Rover Classic, said: "The XKSS occupies a unique place in Jaguar's history and is a car coveted by collectors the world over for its exclusivity and unmistakable design.

"Jaguar Classic's highly skilled team of engineers and technicians will draw on decades of knowledge to ensure each of the nine cars is completely authentic and crafted to the highest quality.”

The first of the new continuation Jaguar XKSS will be delivered in 2017.
