Jaguar will launch Jaguar XKR-S at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, with an uprated supercharged V8 engine, overhauled suspension and a new aerodynamically-driven design, the Jaguar XKR-S is the ultimate expression of Jaguar’s long held duality of purpose: GT luxury with incredible performance.
The all-new Jaguar XKR-S will significantly broaden the appeal of the XK range, offering enthusiastic drivers a compelling, fresh choice in the luxury GT class. The products offer a peerless blend of performance, comfort, cutting-edge technology and award-winning design.
“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.”
Alongside the exciting new Jaguar XKR-S, Jaguar will be marking the 50th anniversary of the E-Type with the first in a series of celebrations that take place during 2011. Jaguar will be hosting E-Type drives at the Parc des Eaux Vives in Geneva, where the original car was launched by the marque’s founder Sir William Lyons half a century ago.
2012 Jaguar XKR-S produces 550PS and 680Nm of torque, enough power to offer a top speed of 186mph (300km/h). Its performance credentials speak for themselves: 0-60mph takes 4.2 seconds, with 0-100mph dismissed in just 8.6 seconds.
This is Jaguar’s fastest, most agile, responsive and driver-focused. Jaguar XKR-S is the only car in its class that emits less than 300g/km CO2. It exploits the XK’s strong, lightweight aluminium body architecture to maximise both handling and economy.
