Hot off the launch of the refreshed Jaguar XJ comes the near-identical Daimler version. Not to be confused with Germany’s Daimler-Benz, the Daimler Motor Company is a British car brand that’s currently under the ownership of Ford’s Premier Auto Group. Its latest model, the Super Eight, was released in July 2005 and runs a supercharged 400bhp 4.2L V8 engine with a six-speed automatic.
This year’s update leaves most of the mechanicals unchanged. Instead, the car gets restyled bumpers both front and back, a new aluminum mesh grille and 19in wheels as standard with 20 inchers as an option. Like the Jaguar XJ saloon on which it’s based, the Daimler Super Eight also gets a lightweight aluminium body.
