Introduced in 1948, the Jaguar XK120 was initially the world’s fastest production car, boasting a 3.4 L DOHC inline-6 and an elegant, aerodynamic design. Although it reached peak competition success in the 1950s, the XK120 remained a competitive force in early 1960s rallying, particularly in historic and endurance events. Its rugged XK engine, smooth torque curve, and reliable handling made it a continued favorite among seasoned privateers.
The XK120 introduced advanced dual overhead cam technology to production cars and set a new standard for postwar performance vehicles.
Even a decade after its debut, the XK120 remained respected for its pace and reliability in demanding international rallies.
The car’s low-end torque, refined handling, and excellent braking (especially with later drum or retrofitted disc upgrades) gave drivers confidence on tight tarmac and loose-surface stages alike. The tall gearing and smooth engine made it a top choice for high-speed endurance sections.
