Jaguar XKSS

The XKSS uses a D-type-derived 3.4-litre inline-six producing about 262 hp.

In 1957 specification, the XKSS uses Dunlop disc brakes on all four wheels with a Plessey pump.

The continuation XKSS cars recreated the magnesium-alloy body material used in 1957.

Jaguar Classic built nine continuation cars to complete the run interrupted by the fire, with deliveries scheduled for 2017.

Before the 1957 Browns Lane factory fire, Jaguar completed only 16 original XKSS cars.

On January 14, 1957, William Lyons decided to convert 25 remaining D-types into road-going XKSS cars.

The Browns Lane fire destroyed cars and components intended for the remaining nine XKSSs in the planned run.

Jaguar created the XKSS in 1957 as a road-going version of its Le Mans-winning D-type.

Converting the D-type into the XKSS included a taller windscreen, a second door, removal of the cockpit divider and deletion of the signature fin behind the driver.

Actor Steve McQueen was one of the most famous private owners of an original XKSS.
