Jaguarīs XKR


Jaguar News

Introducing the breathtaking XK and XKR (available in early 2007), Jaguarīs latest, most muscled athletes. Shouldered and powerful as always, but sleeker now with aluminum bodyshell drawn taut across the chassis, these dramatic sports machines are purposefully trimmed and tuned for heart-pounding performance. Exhaust song, power, control and comfort await notice with bold assurance. Inside or out, coupe or convertible, thereīs not an ounce of excess. But there is anticipation...because on the road, the XK commands.

Jaguarīs XKR

In coupe or roadster attire, the XKs are stunning. And more than just pretty faces, because lurking under the hood is Jaguarīs latest 4.2-liter, 32-valve, 4-cam aluminum AJ-V8, with cam phasing to stoke response at all speeds. In the XKR, an Eaton supercharger is added, ramping horsepower to 420 and propelling the Coupe from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. The engine defines power, just as the silky 6-speed ZF sequential-shift transmission—it allows gear changes via steering wheel-mounted paddles—characterizes control. 


The pure joy of driving

Nimble and light, the XK accelerates, stops and handles effortlessly. Its aluminum alloy bodyshell is rivet-bonded, a monocoque design that increases stiffness, reduces weight, improves road performance and delivers class-leading highway fuel economy.1 And its enhanced Computer Active Technology Suspension (eCATS) reads road conditions and automatically adjusts damping for optimum balance of ride and control. 


This car helps you drive safely

Safety in the XK may be less apparent than the carīs performance, but it is there, readily helping the driver. Performance-rated 4-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes—with oversized discs in the XKR—are sized to match engine power. In demanding conditions, TracDSC electronically uses the anti-lock braking and traction control systems to improve directional stability when cornering. Individual tire pressure is continuously monitored. Adaptive Restraint Technology deploy front airbags according to occupant position, weight, and crash severity, while side airbags help protect front occupants in certain side collisions. And for the convertible, sensors deploy high-strength aluminum hoops in case of rollover, creating a shield zone to help protect passengers.2 

1 - EPA estimated fuel economy rating comparison is for the normally aspirated 2007 XK (18 city/27 highway) versus 2006 competition.

2 - Drive responsibly, always wear your safety belt, and secure children in the rear seat. Even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It is always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. 



Flowing lines, echoed lineage, distinctive design touches, all sculpted in lightweight aluminum—an amalgam of power, dramatic styling, relevant technology and pure luxury. With the XK and XKR, everything is where it should be and feels exactly as it should feel. For drivers with a frank urge to fly, these are the perfect cars.


An artisan's touch

Inside the XK lies an elegant, truly personal domain: contemporary, flawlessly trimmed, and equipped as the driver demands. Available soft-grain leather graces the seats, doors and console and feels as finished as it looks.1 Handcrafted Poplar and Burl Walnut accents bespeak meticulous craftsmanship, and Aluminum trim imparts a sporting feel to the cockpit.2 Controls and electronics are proficient and precise. And all of this artistry is assured by a competitive Jaguar warranty and maintenance plan.3
