New Jaguar XKR-S
Posted by bensto in Jaguar on 03 23rd, 2008
Beside the 2009 Jaguar XKR as Portfolio, Jaguar launch the newest production XK to date, the XKR-S. Make on a highly-advanced lightweight aluminum body architecture, the Jaguar XKR-S is powered by the same 420hp 4.2 liter V8 supercharged engine found in the XKR.
Though, the engine has been recalibrated allowing the XKR-S to reach a top speed of 174mph, 19mph faster than the XKR. This additional boost performance is made possible by improved aerodynamics and a unique suspension set-up. The engine is mated with the XKR’s six-speed sequential automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts.
The limited edition coupe will come in crucial Black and can be simply identified by the unique XKR-S badge on the back of the car. The exterior has also been subtly enhanced along with new lightweight 20-inch Vortex forged alloy wheels. The car will go on sale in the summer of 2008 with a limited production run of 200 for the European market only.
