Jaguar XKR
Jaguar's new 5.0-litre supercharged V8 has turned the XKR from a refined GT to a snarling supercar overnight
There's little that can prepare you for the XKR's sledgehammer performance. The XKR was already a classy package – but that hasn’t stopped Jaguar improving its flagship by fitting the firm’s new 5.0-litre – increasing power from 410bhp to503bhp.
Available in coupe and cabriolet form, you have to keep an eye on thespeedo, as the XKR is deceptively quiet and devastatingly quick. Itcovers 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and goes on to an electronically limited155mph.
Not only does it look gorgeous on the outside, he cabin is virtuallyfaultless, too. The materials are superb, the seating position comfortableon long journeys and Jaguar reckons there’s even room for two sets ofgolf clubs in the boot.
