The original XK120 was an impressive car for its time.

Introduced at the 1948 London Motor Show, it wooed onlookers with its sleek design and a 3.4-liter straight-six developing 160 horsepower. It's 120 mph top speed made it the world's fastest production car at the time and over the years, other XK's followed the original's footsteps - the XK140 in 1955 and the XK150 in 1958 - both named for their top speed capabilities.

Then there's the XKSS, the road-going version of the D-Type race car of which only sixteen were produced.

Jaguar will be celebrating these legendary cars at this year's British Motor Show with the XK60, named to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the original XK120. Jaguar is mum about the features of the XK60 though...
