Auto Car | Jaguar XKR-S 2008 | Back in 1996, Jaguar unveiled XK and XKR models as successors for the old XJS models and nearly ten years after that, the second generation was presented at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, with both versions getting facelifts a few years later in 2009. Then and now, the XK and the XKR are two of the most successful Jaguars on the market. The XKR really deserves the logo of the wild cat.
It is powered by a 510 HP V8 engine under the hood, that is capable of sprinting the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. You might say that the XKR is slower than its competitors, but let’s not forget that the XKR is about $20K less than the cheapest competitor and $30K less than the Porsche Turbo.
The model is entering the 2011 model year with the addition of two special editions: the XKR175 Limited Edition, the "XKR Speed Pack," and "XKR Speed and Black Pack".
A look on the outside:
For 2011, customers have the option to choose from two solid colors and eleven metallic exterior colors, with the Kyanite Blue and Salsa being unique for the model. If the customer prefers for the convertible version, then they will be able to combine those colors with four standard top colors depending on the exterior shade: Black, Blue, Beige, and Dark Grey.
The XKR version is distinguished by a set of 19" Tamana alloy wheels as standard (or two 20" wheels - dual-spoke Kalimnos and Nevis styles, and 19" Chrome 10-spoke Artura style) and an active exhaust system in which valves open at higher speeds to provide an even more powerful sound.
A peep inside:
Despite being a sports car, the XKR comes with an interior that integrates both sportiness and luxury. It gets luxurious soft-grain leather with contrast stitching offered in three color combination depending on the exterior paint color chosen: Caramel seats with a Caramel upper fascia and Warm Charcoal contrast stitching; Ivory seats with an Oyster upper fascia and Ivory contrast stitching; and Warm Charcoal seats with a Warm Charcoal upper fascia and Ivory contrast stitching.
The sporty look is further enhanced by a unique R-style seat design and instruments with red pointers, while all models feature a white instrument gauge illumination. The convertible version has a triple-lined fabric roof that can be powered up or down in less than 18 seconds at speeds up to 20 mph.
