Another new Jag. This one has the same AJV8 engine as the new XKR but in a tighter package more sports oriented. The engine features direct injection, variable intake manifold, and variable valve timing. The XKR features a supercharger like the XKR and has the same power rating (510 hp, 461 lb-ft) and can hit 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. Also, a Portfolio version with natural aspiration boasts 385 hp and 380 lb-ft and can hit 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. It's befit with all sorts of electronic gizmos to keep you on the road and of course has USBs and navscreens and all that crap that is basically mandatory in luxury cars today.
I can see where hellcat says Jaguar is ricing their own cars now - maybe an exaggeration but I think that the XKR is not nice at all and when you see it besides the XFR both look kinda crappy.
More info and pics.
