Jaguar XKR

Jaguar XKR specs
Top Speed: 155 mph / 250 km/h (limited)
0-60 mph: 4.9 seconds
Engine: Supercharged 4.2-liter 420bhp V8

The new Jaguar XKR derives all its excellence from its predecessor, Jaguar XK luxury car, and at the same time presents a 'more powerful' identity with its innovative engine technology, adding new dimensions to the power definitions of the sports GT cars showing on the roads. The 'beautiful and powerful' XKR has got a lot of features to be proud of.

The body of Jaguar XKR is made of the aluminum monocoque, the latest development in the automobile technology. The supercharged 420 bhp, V8 engine with its six-speed automatic transmission capability is one among the many features that make this young Jaguar sporty on its wheels.

Of course, this fast car can enhance your sporting thrills. The perfect sport-compliant fitting such as the front bumper, aluminum grilles and the bonnet louvers, 19/20-inch wheel design and the quad-exhaust system, etc., make its performance worthy of competition.

You can have a good control too! No need to worry about the road conditions or the demanding speed. XKR is capable of delivering instant acceleration the moment you require it. You may use it for a grand tour or as a sports car. The perfect suspension set-up and the steering control make this change of roles possible for the little Jaguar with ease.

The classic design of Jaguar has always been a passion to the car lovers. Jaguar XK has proved it. Now with contemporary additions to the existing XK style, the new Jaguar XKR is the talk among the funky car aesthetes.

Compressor power
In neutral, the Arden AJ 20 purrs as softly as a kitten. But watch out when it stretches out its claws! The Arden AJ 20 Coupe expresses its additional power in the form of a deep growl, produced by a sports silencer system with the four chrome-plated tailpipes.

Jaguar XKR

A Jaguar XKR with stripped interior, uprated brakes and suspension, and a top speed of 185mph sounds like just our sort of car.

It does indeed exist, but the only fly in the multigrade is you can only drive this Jaguar XKR at PalmerSport, Jonathan Palmer's automotive playground in Bedfordshire.

Palmer ordered up the stripped-for-action XKRs after driving the road car.

He's so impressed with the Jag that he's even altered the circuit layout to include a 140mph stretch and flowing corners to show off the XKR to its best.

If you book yourself a day at Palmer's Bedford Autodrome, you can also try out a number of other high-performance cars, including Palmer's very own Jaguar-engined JP1 Le Mans-style sports prototype.
