The Jaguar SS 100 is a sports car produced in England (Coventry) between 1936 and 1939. It was sold as a 2-door roadster with the engine mounted at the front. The number 100 in the name represented the car’s theoretical top speed of 100 mph.
The car was initially powered by a 2.6-litre I6 engine with 100 hp (70 kW). This allowed it to reach a speed of 153 km/h (153 mph). From 1938, it was powered by a 3.5-litre version of the I6 engine with 125 hp (93 kW), increasing its top speed to 160 km/h (160 mph). The engines were mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. It was replaced by the XK 120.
