2008.jaguar.xk-series





The XKR's 420 horsepower V8 remains unchanged, as does the car's six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The lone performance upgrade is a set of Alcon 400mm front brake discs - an increase of 45mm over the standard XKR. The rear discs measure 350mm and offer the same race-developed crescent-shaped grooves for improved braking performance under extreme use. Clamping force comes from powerful six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units at the rear. 
Other highlights include an exclusive Shadow Grey metallic paint color, 20-inch Selena alloy wheels, a choice of dark grey or black roof colors for the convertible, milled aluminum power vents, and a portfolio trunk lid badge. 

The interior has been enhanced with soft-grain, contrast stitched leather on the 16-way adjustable seats, instrument panel, center console, door inners, rear side panels and steering wheel. Customers can choose between either Charcoal with Cranberry twin needle stitching or Ivory with Slate twin needle stitching. Buyers also have a choice of new Rich Oak veneer or Engine Spin Aluminum fascia finish, the latter with Piano Black instrument panel. The interior is finished off by an alloy and leather gear selector, tread plates with Portfolio script, leather edged carpet mats, and Alston headlining.

A Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system provides 525 watts of audio, via low distortion Kevlar mid-range speakers and aluminum dome speakers, designed and tuned specifically for the XKR.
