Jaguar Cars Ltd., commonly known as Jaguar, is a luxury automobile manufacturer based in Coventry, England, UK. As a subsidiary of the Jaguar Land Rover group, it is owned by the Indian parent company Tata Motors.
Founded in 1922 by Sir William Lyons, the company initially specialized in manufacturing motorcycle sidecars under the name Swallow Sidecar Company. Post-World War II, the company underwent a name change, eventually adopting "Jaguar" as its official title. Having already ventured into automobile production, Jaguar later merged with the British Motor Corporation. In 1984, the company was listed on the London Stock Exchange and became a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index, a status it retained until its acquisition by Ford in 1989.
Jaguar achieved its first major commercial success in the post-WWII era with the introduction of a series of striking sports cars. Despite their premium price points, these vehicles were regarded as offering excellent value, boasting an array of luxurious features. The brand gained renown for its powerful engines, which were fitted not only in road cars but also in Grand Prix-winning racing models. During the 1950s, Jaguar secured victory four times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France.
Under Ford's ownership, Jaguar expanded its product lineup, launching the iconic S-Type in 1999 and R-Type in 2001. In 2008, Jaguar was sold to India's Tata Motors.
In 1988, Jaguar ventured into the fragrance industry with its first men's scent,Jaguar for Men.
