The classic XK style does not change with this new generation, the revised styling details inside and out providing a subtle variation on the theme rather than a new look. But under the skin it is a very different story. Larger, more powerful 4.2-litre V8 engines significantly increase the performance of the XK. A six-speed automatic transmission ensures that drivers are able to make the most of the power when they choose, yet be equally at ease in urban traffic. And a portfolio of enhanced electronic and other equipment options - focusing on safety, comfort and drivability - make the new XK even better to drive than the original. Page 1 of 1
