Jaguar XKR - ORDER PLACED
The XKR is Jaguars new supercharged sports car. Like the normally aspirated XK model, the new XKR makes use of its industry-leading aluminium monocoque body structure. In addition, an uprated supercharged V8 engine and class-leading calibration of its state-of-the-art, six-speed automatic transmission bring it a level of heightened performance.
Although the seductive skin still has the power to draw envious stares, the driving experience is good enough to better compete with the dynamic excellence of its peers. Consider that the 420-hp XKR's peers are the 355-hp Porsche 911 Carrera S and the 500-hp BMW M6, and the achievement that is the latest supercharged XKR comes vividly into perspective. Adding to the delicate feel of the XKR is the accurate and lightly weighted steering that marshals chassis movements instantly.
When the road turns straight and boring, the XKR comforts the driver with its two-tone leather-wrapped interior. An excellent and easy-to-decipher touch screen manages the radio, the navigation system, and a myriad of vehicle settings. Under full-throttle acceleration, the XKR unleashes 77 dBA of V-8 growl, and supercharger whine is faint, staying in the background.
