2003 S-Type Jaguar, 38k, 3.0 liter engine

While driving at 70+ miles per hour, we felt a jolt and then the car lost power. We pulled over, put it back in neutral, and the car restarted and we continued home. No warning signs lit-up in the car and nothing is lit now. We were talking and we feel that we had noticed some hesitation earlier when we were driving, too. Any clues?
