The XK is the perfect sports car - a true grand tourer whose breadth of abilities doesn't ask the driver to choose between performance and relaxed refinement, but combines both.
Underpinning everything is its lightweight aluminium architecture, a range of powerful new V8 engines, advanced automatic transmission, and chassis dynamics that balance grip and handling with comfort and refinement - as only Jaguar knows how.
The XKR – the ultimate expression of Jaguar design and engineering. Perfectly balanced and a study in elegance and refined power, it displays a passion for style and luxury – and a promise of performance to make the heart race. At its heart is an all-new supercharged 5.0 Litre V8 engine, featuring variable inlet camshaft phasing to develop 510PS and a peak torque of 625Nm. Acceleration is breathtaking – 0 to 60mph in just 4.6 seconds. The supercharger also ensures high levels of power and torque are available at all engine speeds, providing instant throttle response, outstanding mid-range acceleration and excellent driveability.
A sports car that could only be built from aluminium, featuring a monocoque bodyshell formed using epoxy bonding and riveting techniques more commonly used in the aerospace industry. The result is a structure that is light yet exceptionally strong and rigid. The benefits to the driver are compelling – faster acceleration, exceptional agility, quicker braking, reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.
Driving dynamics for the purist. Perfect balance and instant response. Jaguar's all new electronically controlled, six speed transmission gives the smoothest gear shifts and optimum performance all the time. Adaptive Dynamics is engineered to determine the best possible balance between ride and handling, monitoring and varying damping to suit the driving conditions, delivering a comfortable, sporting ride together with razor sharp handling.
Trac Dynamic Stability Control is designed to intervene in demanding driving situations by applying braking to individual wheels and reducing engine torque. The system helps to prevent over-steer and under-steer, and also improves traction and acceleration. Active Differential Control is a new electronically controlled differential for XKR. ADC varies locking torque dependent on the prevailing road conditions, to offer superior traction on loose surfaces and improve cornering stability.
