Fast, Stylish & Luxurious - 2010 Jaguar XKR coupe/convertible
The Jaguar sports car experience moves on to a new level with the introduction of the next generation XKR Coupe and Convertible. With an all-new engine, even more dramatic looks, a new interior and an advanced lightweight aluminum body structure, the new XKR builds on 60 years of legendary performance to deliver the best of everything Jaguar.
"The philosophy at Jaguar is for our designers and engineers to work together with all areas of the Jaguar business to develop elegant, inspired solutions to complex technical challenges. The result is great products – and the new XK is a perfect example." Mike O'Driscoll, Managing Director, Jaguar Cars
The all-new AJ-V8 Gen III 5.0L supercharged V8 engine is the most efficient Jaguar has ever produced. With the introduction of the all-new direct-injection V8 engine comes a new level of performance for the XKR, with improved acceleration from standstill and stunning in-gear acceleration times. All models are electronically limited to a maximum speed of 155 mph, but the 0-60 mph sprint for the supercharged XKR Coupe is reduced from 4.9 to 4.6 seconds.
Allowing the engine to optimize power is one of the most sophisticated transmissions available. Jaguar's acclaimed electronically controlled, six-speed ZF 6HP28 transmission offers an unparalleled combination of driver control matched to virtually undetectable gearshifts. With control either from steering wheel-mounted paddles or full automatic mode via the JaguarDrive SelectorTM, which is new this year, the transmission is now paired with an advanced electronic differential on the XKR to ensure it accelerates even faster, handles more precisely and sets new standards of dynamic control and excellence.
The benefits of the XKR's lightweight but incredibly stiff and strong chassis are already acknowledged. Not only does this architecture bring dynamic benefits thanks to its torsional rigidity, it also offers excellent safety and crash repair features – and provides the ideal base to optimize performance across the board, including fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
Inside, quality levels are raised even further with new interior trim and finishes that demonstrate Jaguar's renowned craftsmanship, plus even more comprehensive specification. The driver is the center of attention, with exciting new ideas, including Adaptive Dynamics with Active Differential Control and comfort features such as heated and cooled seats – taking the driving experience of the new XK range to even higher levels of luxury alongside the improved performance.
"The new XK delivers more power, more performance and more technology – without compromise. It moves the Jaguar sports car experience on to a whole new level." Mick Mohan, Director, Jaguar Programmes
Contemporary, sporting luxury, exceptional quality of craftsmanship and Jaguar's renowned attention to detail are the keynotes of the new XKR's enhanced interior. The cabin is clean, elegant, spacious and remains entirely in harmony with the sporty character of the revised exterior.
