The XJS was relaunched in its final form in May 1991 under [[Ford Motor Company]]'s new ownership, as a division of its Premier Auto Group. Ford dropped the model name's hyphen, marketing it as the XJS.<ref name="AR94">{{cite book | title = Automobil Revue 1994 | editor-last = Büschi | editor-first = Hans-Ulrich | publisher = Hallwag AG | location = Berne, Switzerland | language = de, fr | page = 318 | volume = 89 | date = 10 March 1994 | isbn = 3-444-00584-9 }}</ref> By removing the frames, the rear side windows appeared enlarged despite having identical glass apertures as the earlier cars, the windscreen was flush fitting, while the buttresses remained – somewhat minimised by the new side window trim.<ref name="TV1291.8">[[#AS91|Söderlind 1991]], p. 8.</ref> Designer [[Geoff Lawson (designer)|Geoff Lawson]] noted the buttresses were part of the car's character. The rear fascia and trunk lid were redesigned, with new black tinted rear lights being fitted. The V12 engine was also upgraded with new injection and fuel system, new spark plugs, and a tidier engine bay. Power for the catalyzed, European-market version inched up from {{cvt|273|to|280|PS|kW bhp|0}}.<ref name="TV1291.8"/>

The car received a new 4.0-litre version of the [[Jaguar AJ6 engine#4.0|AJ6 straight-six engine]]. In 1992, a convertible model having the same engine was added to the range. The V12 engine's capacity was enlarged to 6.0&nbsp;litres in May 1992 and it had a power output of {{Convert|227|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="AR94"/> With the introduction of the 6.0-litre V12, the transmission was also updated to a [[GM 4L80-E transmission|GM 4L80E]] with a fourth-gear overdrive, whilst the automatic 4.0-litre models continued with the electronic ZF4HP24E transmission. A [[2+2 (car body style)|2+2]] convertible was also introduced, as was a customised ''insignia'' line. At the same time, the car received more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers that were now painted the same colour as the body. The main interior change was to the instrument pack; the original featured distinctive drum type ancillary gauges - this was replaced by a more conventional style binnacle similar to that found in the XJ40 saloon. Outboard rear brakes replaced the more complicated inboard brakes of previous models from May 1993.

In April 1994, substantial revisions were made to the 4.0-litre AJ6 engine, which was now equipped with coil-on-plug ignition and given the new code name AJ16. In 1995, the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the Celebration model, to celebrate the 60th year of Jaguar Cars. Celebration cars feature [[Diamond turning|diamond turned]] wheels, Jaguar embossed seats, and a wooden steering wheel.

The XJS was discontinued in 1996, after 21 years in production, superseded by the [[Jaguar XK8|XK8]], which continued to use a modified version of the XJS platform until 2005.
