Setting aside its odd appearance, there's something in the engine photo that doesn't make sense for a 1990. It has two red ignition coils mounted by the ABS unit. I wonder what that is about.

The book You and your XJS by Nigel Thorley mentions keonig (?sp) but seems to imply it was body mods only not engine mods. A search revealed this:

Seems that only the normal air filter box mods were made, no actual engine internal mods.

I see this car as a backwards peek into the 1980s-early 1990s. I call it the "Miami Vice" look . Think Ferrari Testa Rossa and "AMG" Mercedes. Body cladding, wide wheels, body colored bumpers/fascias. It's all there ! I can almost see a Colombian drug lord jumping in and roaring off...with Sonny Crockett in hot pursuit.
Great days but it all seems a bit silly now, eh ?
Some cars are better suited to this sort of things than others....and even then relies on execution not being too far over the top.
