Jaguar has announced their quickest XK model ever prior to its Geneva unveiling, the Jaguar XKR-S. The 2012 Jaguar XKR-S is powered by an upgraded supercharged V8 engine developing 410 kW and 680 Nm of torque. The big cat is capable of sprinting from 0 – 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and 0 – 160 km/h in 8.6 seconds, with a top speed of 300 km/h.
Jaguar say the new XKR-S is not merely the quickest Jaguar ever, but also the most agile, responsive and driver-focused, thanks to a revised suspension and a reprogrammed Adaptive Dynamics system. “The Jaguar XKR-S is a bold and exciting new model for Jaguar,” said Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar’s new Global Brand Director. “We expect to attract both loyal and new Jaguar driving enthusiasts who still want the comfort, opulence and class only a Jaguar can offer, combined with inspirational performance.”
Full details of the Jaguar XKR-S will be available upon its Geneva debut.
