2006 XKR
Well after much speculation Jaguar have finally unveiled their new supercharged Jaguar XKR. Like the previous XK model, the new XKR has gained some significant changes, which includes a ; • 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds and 155mph (electronically limited) top speed. 50-70mph in just 2.5 seconds • All-aluminium construction which improves handling and agility. • Uprated springs and dampers and recalibrated Computer Active Technology Suspension system for enhanced ride and handling • Class-leading six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted ‘paddles’ for ultra-quick gear shifts • 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, louvred bonnet, unique aluminium-effect side power vents and new wheel designs • Enhanced interior includes unique aluminium ‘weave’ design on the fascia (polished burr walnut is optional at no extra cost) and XKR sports seats
Jaguar Cars Managing Director Bibiano Boerio stated that “The new supercharged XKR captures the essence of what makes a Jaguar XK so special.” |
