2006 Jaguar XKR Overview

Introduction

The Jaguar XKR looks like the ultimate sports car, but it feels like a cross between a British gentleman's coupe and a big ol' American stock car.

The supercharged XKR is available as coupe or convertible. It adds additional items to the XK8 like: an Eaton Roots type supercharger which boosts horsepower; 18-inch alloy wheels; bigger Brembo ventilated brake rotors (14 inches vs. 12.8 inches); a computer-controlled active suspension; a DVD navigation system and Xenon headlamps. For the XKR Coupe only, there is a special-order Handling Package which consists of firmer shocks, springs and antiroll bars, a retuned speed-sensitive power steering, and cross-drilled brake rotors.

For 2006, the Jaguar XKR comes in a limited edition Victory series.
