Guest l28et Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 New supercharged Jaguar XK sports car – the XKR, available as a Coupe or Convertible All the attractions and attributes of the XK – but amplified in the 'R' to complement the extra power and performance 4.2-liter, supercharged V8 engine developing 420bhp and 413 lb-ft (560Nm) of torque 0-60mph acceleration in 4.9 seconds and 155mph (electronically limited) top speed All-aluminum construction means a lighter, stiffer car, which improves handling and agility. At 3,671lb (1,665kg), the Coupe is 154lb (70kg) lighter than its predecessor, while the 3,781lb (1,715kg) Convertible is 220lb (100kg) lighter than the previous convertible XKR Uprated springs and dampers, and recalibrated Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) system for enhanced ride and handling Class-leading six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted 'paddles' for ultra-quick gear shifts in milliseconds Active Exhaust System to ensure cruising speed refinement, but purposeful V8 roar under hard acceleration Subtle XKR exterior styling enhancements include a sportier grille and front bumper design, vented hood, unique aluminum-effect side power vents and new wheel designs Enhanced interior includes unique aluminum 'weave' design on the fascia (polished burl walnut is optional at no extra cost) and XKR sports seats Intuitive controls and driver-focussed technologies are available – including Keyless Entry, Keyless Start, advanced Touchscreen and Active Front Lighting HOTNESS.
