Jaguar XKR-S

Quiz time. What has a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 412 lb-ft of torque? No guesses? Here’s a hint: it nails the 60 mph mark from a dead stop in a shade over 5 seconds, has a top speed of around 174 mph and just so happens to be the fastest Jaguar XK thus far. Put down your pencils.

That sirs, is the Jaguar XKR-S. Built with a light-weight aluminum body structure and reworked aerodynamics, the S sits close to 20 mph faster on the top end than its XKR brother thanks to some hard work by Jaguar’s Special Vehicle’s Team. Nearly every surface of this car has been touched by those speed freaks on some level, making for one bad feline. The new chin spoiler even (almost) makes the Taurus grill work. That is, if we were to ever see it here in America. As it sits, this is one kitty that’s keeping to the Kingdom.
