2011 Jaguar XKR-S

The new 2011 Jaguar XKR-S was revealed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. This new range-topping version of the XKR has a higher output supercharged V8 engine, revised suspension, and a new aerodynamically-driven design. A press release states that the Jaguar XKR-S reflects the company's long held duality of purpose: GT luxury with incredible performance. The hardcore XKR will offer 550 hp and 502 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque.

It can accelerate from a standstill to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds and it can reach a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). The standard XKR is powered by a supercharged 5.0 liter V8 unit; however, Jaguar has yet to release the full specs of the coupe.

Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's new Global Brand Director, said that the XKR-S is a “bold and exciting new model for Jaguar.” He added that the company expects this model to appeal to both loyal and new Jaguar driving enthusiasts who want the comfort, opulence and class, as well as the inspirational performance, that could only come from Jaguar.
