In 1986, the newly-formed [[Lister Cars]], under the leadership of engineer Laurence Pearce, began offering a high performance package for the Jaguar XJS. The cars were sold as Lister-Jaguar and 90 customer cars in total were converted. Lister teamed up with two manufacturers namely WP Automotive and BLE Automotive to carry out the conversion process. The standard package included increased engine displacement to 7.0-litres, a modified fuel injection system with four additional injectors and throttle bodies, larger engine valves along with connecting rods manufactured by [[Cosworth]], a new crankshaft, new cylinder heads, new inlet and exhaust valves, new bearing caps, and a new body kit featuring a spoiler at the rear with a modified rear light clusters and flared wheel arches to accommodate the wide tyres. The modified suspension system featured Koni dampers having 30% stiffer rebound than the original and having a modified rear subframe arrangement with wishbones and radius arms relocated to provide greater triangulation and reduce axle tramp. The new shocks were 100% stiffer at the front and 50% stiffer at the rear. The braking system had ventilated brake discs and were moved outward for better cooling and stability. The interior was also modified and now had Recaro racing bucket seats and a new steering wheel with optimised feedback. The modified engine was rated at {{cvt|496|bhp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|500|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque.<ref name=KC18>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/anything-goes-throwback-thursday/throwback-thursday-1989-lister-xj-s-first-drive | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20231018110544/https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/throwback-thursday-1989-lister-xj-s-first-drive | archive-date = 2023-10-18 | title = Throwback Thursday: 1989 Lister XJ-S first drive | date = 2018-07-12|first=Kris|last=Culmer|magazine=[[Autocar (magazine)|Autocar]] }}</ref> The engine was mated to a 5-speed [[Getrag]] manual transmission. The cars were fitted with 17-inch wheels with wide Pirelli tyres measuring 10 inches at the front and 13 inches at the rear. Performance figures include a 0-{{cvt|60|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} acceleration time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of {{cvt|200|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=KC18/><ref name="AW">{{cite web|url=https://autoweek.com/article/auctions/604-hp-lister-jaguar-xjs-70-le-mans-coupe-powerslides-auction|title=7.0-litre Lister-Jaguar XJS LeMans Coupé Powerslides To Auction| first = Jay | last = Ramey | date=2015-02-06|work=Autoweek|access-date=2019-04-16}}</ref>

Some customers chose to have their cars further modified with the addition of the Le Mans package. The package included a 6-speed Getrag manual transmission, a new exhaust system, and twin-superchargers over the standard package applied in order to extract a power output of {{cvt|604|bhp|kW|0}} from the engine.<ref name="AW"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/how-lister-turned-xjs-ferrari-beater|title=How Lister turned the XJS into a Ferrari-beater|work=Classic Driver|date=2014-11-28|access-date=2019-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/w63ovl6/|title=Crouching Tiger - Lister-Jaguar XJS Le Mans|work=CarThrottle|date=7 May 2017 |access-date=2019-04-16}}</ref>
