The Jaguar the XKR-S – is now joined by the convertible version that will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The XKR-S gets the same 5.0-litre supercharged AJ-V8 engine, which produces 550bhp of power and 680Nm of torque. These figures represent a power increase of 8 percent and torque increase of 9 percent over the Jaguar XKR. Driving the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox with Active Differential, this propels the XKR-S Convertible to 100kmph in 4.4 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 300kmph.
Underpinning this potent performance is a comprehensive package of suspension upgrades which refine the XK's dynamic abilities still further, creating an intimate connection between the car, the driver and the road, enhanced still further in this open-topped GT.
