Jaguar had a great start in 2010. Sales have increased and the car manufacturer wants to keep things this way, so it’s going to present a Special Edition XKR coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. The car has bold exterior styling changes and a top speed of 174mph (280km/h).
The XKR Special Edition combines a number of option packs introduced in the 2011 range. The British car manufacturer brought together the optional Speed and Black packs to create something special for the Geneva Auto Show in March.
Jaguar says “the XKR boasts a state-of-the-art 5.0-litre supercharged AJ-V8 Gen III R engine that delivers 510 hp , 625Nm of torque and propels the coupe to 60mph in just 4.6 seconds. Now, in Special Edition guise, the XKR’s top speed climbs significantly from an electronically limited 155mph (250km/h) to 174mph (280km/h) thanks to the addition of the Speed Pack.”
“Allied to that remarkable engine is an advanced six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel mounted paddles, lightweight aluminium body structure and a range of computer-controlled systems including Active Differential Control and Adaptive Dynamics that ensure the supercharged car accelerates even faster, handles even more precisely and sets new standards of ride and comfort.”
The interior has some impressive features like the 7-inch Touch-Screen, 16-way heated and cooled memory seats, Jet Suedecloth premium headlining and Flint Grey premium carpet. The luggage space has increased, as Jaguar adopted the tire repair Instant Mobility System.
