An extra 'r' in XK's growl



Jaguar has unveiled its XKR, the supercharged version of the new XK introduced in late 2005.

An uprated 420bhp V8 engine gets the power to the wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. The torque available is 560Nm and the car can achieve 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds.

It is available in coupe or convertible form.
