Has been released at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show latest dramatic evolution of its supercharged Jaguar XKR coupe. Offers even greater performance without sacrificing the refinement and luxury for which every Jaguar is renowned. And bold exterior styling changes that create the ultimate supercharged Jaguar. The new 2011 Jaguar XKR Special Edition consists of two new styling and performance packs – the Speed and Black Pack. Both are available to Jaguar XKR coupe customers separately.
Seven colours are available on Speed Pack models – Ultimate Black, Polaris White, Salsa Red, Liquid Silver, Lunar Grey, Kyanite Blue and Spectrum Blue. There are will come with body-coloured side sills and rear diffuser, and a chrome finish to the window surrounds, upper and lower mesh grilles, side Power Vents and boot lid finisher. Red brake callipers with a Jaguar ‘R’ logo sit inside 20-inch Kasuga alloy wheels.
The Black Pack models will be available in Ultimate Black, Polaris White or Salsa Red and boast eye-catching 20-inch gloss black Kalimnos alloy wheels. Further gloss black finishing is applied to the window surrounds, front grilles and side Power Vents. Optional red painted brake callipers contrast strongly with the black alloy wheels, while body coloured front and rear spoilers and boot lid finisher round out the package. Customers also have the option to apply a sweeping ‘XKR’ side body graphic that runs along the door sills.
The stunning new Jaguar XKR Special Edition delivers a significantly raised maximum speed – 174mph (280km/h). Now, in Special Edition guise, the Jaguar XKR’s top speed climbs significantly from an electronically limited 155mph (250km/h) to 174mph (280km/h) thanks to the addition of the Speed Pack. Allied to that remarkable engine is an advanced six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel mounted paddles, lightweight aluminum body structure and a range of computer-controlled systems including Active Differential Control and Adaptive Dynamics that ensure the supercharged car accelerates even faster.
Although the velocity rose significantly, the new Jaguar XKR remains economical in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Thanks to the combination of excellent powertrain efficiency and the Jaguar XKR’s advanced lightweight body architecture, its fuel economy is comparable to the previous generation of Jaguar XKR – despite the significant increases in power and performance.
