During 1996 and 1997 when the Jaguar XK8 was about to be unveiled to the public, it was designed to be an example of Ford's most cutting edge technology of the day embodied in the beautiful luxury of a top of the line Jaguar coupe and cabriolet.
I have located some of the design papers and articles presented that year to the engineering community to introduce the advanced design concepts of the day.
Some of this information can also be useful in helping troubleshhoot problems with the vehicle today.
