Jaguar?s blend of performance and dynamics with the new XK-R model is certain to take the Jaguar experience to new heights.

A brute force 420 bhp supercharged V8 engine and class-leading calibration of its state-of-the-art, six-speed automatic transmission bring it a level of accessible, high performance that makes the XK-R the most impressive, everyday, power sport saloon in its class.
And the Jaguars XK-R?s powerful armoury is emphatically reinforced through enhanced sports styling cues such as its unique front bumper, aluminium-finish grilles and bonnet louvers, all set for take-off sitting on the unique19 and 20-inch alloy wheel designs with a quad-exhaust system adding to its racing heritage and sporting.

However, through a flick of the steering wheel mounted paddles, the driver can activate Manual mode to deliver a thrilling manual gear shift feel that transforms the driving experience into one of sheer exhilaration.
