After months of speculation, we finally have launched the new 2010 Jaguar XKR! As widely predicted it has an all new 5.0 litre supercharged engine with a supercar level 510 horsepower, up from 420 in the 4.2 litre version. A normally aspirated 5.0 with 385 horsepower is also available in the lower spec Jaguar XK.
The eagle eyed among you will have also spotted some exterior changes with an all new front bumper that gets rid of the fog lights and replaces them with an aggressive looking aluminium finish cooling vent - close up below:
Other exterior visual changes are the introduction of new LED rear lights, and a set of 20" wheels that you can see here:
The interior also sees some improvements with some new finished to the wood and aluminium veneers, and the 'Jaguar Drive Selector' that has been so well received from the Jaguar XF, which you can see below:
Remarkably both the new engines have an increase in fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions due to advanced technology in the form of direct injection. UK Prices for the XKR are £72,400 for the coupe and £78,400 for the convertible, so £2500 for that massive increase in power - well worth it I'm sure you'll agree. Now head over to your nearest Jaguar dealer and take this beauty for a spin - that's what we're planning on doing - we can't wait!
