Arden starts under the hood, where the Jaguar's supercharged 4.2-liter V8 gets a new crankshaft, pistons and con rods and displacement is hiked to 4.5 liters. Arden also recalibrates the engine control module and modifies the intake and exhaust systems, fitting sport catalytic converters and four chrome-plated exhaust pipes.The result is a significant jump in output, to 480 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque. Arden says top speed is now 190 mph, and 0-60-mph acceleration takes less than 4.1 seconds.
Suspension modifications include sport shocks and larger 21-inch wheels with 255/35R21 performance tires in front and 295/30R21s in the rear.
The Arden aero body kit includes a front spoiler with large air intakes, side sills with air inlets, a rear apron with cooling slots, and a rear spoiler. Interior upgrades include a choice of high-grade wood and carbon fiber as well as leather and Alcantara upholstery and trim.
