The '''Jaguar XJ-S''' (later called '''XJS''') is a [[luxury car|luxury]] [[grand tourer]] manufactured and marketed by British car manufacturer [[Jaguar Cars]] from 1975 to 1996, in coupé, [[convertible#variations|fixed-profile]] and full [[convertible]] bodystyles. There were three distinct iterations, with a final production total of 115,413 units over 20 years and seven months.

Originally developed using the platform of the then-current [[Jaguar XJ#Series 1, 2, and 3 (1968–1992)|XJ saloon]], the XJ-S was noted for its prominent rear buttresses. The early styling was partially by Jaguar's aerodynamicist [[Malcolm Sayer]]—one of the first designers to apply advanced aero principles to cars—however Sayer died in 1970, before the design was finalised.

Its final iteration, produced from 1991 to 1996, was manufactured after Jaguar was acquired by [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], who introduced numerous modifications – and eliminated the hyphen in the name, marketing Jaguar's longest running model simply as the ''XJS.''
