16. Jaguar XJR
Jaguar sedans were always common among British gangsters. Since the days of those bank robbers in the Jaguar Mk2, this brand has always been highly regarded in underworld circles. However, when the XJR version appeared, the UK crime figures finally had a car that could rival the most powerful versions of the Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7-Series.
The XJR comes with a 4.2-liter supercharged V8 and 400 HP. Although it has the power to surprise Porsche owners at the stoplight, the XJR also has the polished road manners to be the perfect long-distance cruiser. Even though some British gangsters have the money to buy a Rolls Royce or Bentley, those cars were too outlandish and opulent. That’s because if you are in illegal business, you might want to keep a low profile.
