Certainly one of the most dynamic, stylish grand touring luxury vehicles on Earth, the 2008 Jaguar XK was redesigned last year to rave reviews and returns this model year with the same dramatic, flowing curves and abundant power.

Available as a svelte XK Coupe or sexy XK Convertible, either model offers effortless acceleration from its 4.2 liter V8 engine, producing a rousing 300 horsepower and boundless torque. The standard 6-speed automatic transmission features Sequential Shift steering wheel-mounted paddle shifting for instant gear changes and quick shifts. Standard rear-wheel drive ensures maximum performance and excellent dry-road handling.

The XK Convertible features a power, self-stowing top with three layers of insulation for the ultimate open-air experience. Sex appeal has always been a hallmark of the XK, and a selection of 19” and 20” chromed and aluminum alloy wheels only serves to enhance that image. Rich, high-gloss Burl walnut or Poplar trim adds classy ambience inside the cockpit, while 10-way power driver and front passenger seats add leather surfaces to coddle lucky occupants. An available 8-speaker 525-watt Alpine™ premium sound system with Dolby® ProLogic® surround sound and MP3/WMA capability ensures ethereal sound quality. A 7” LCD touch-screen is the interface for audio, telephone, climate, navigation, and personalization controls, while the DVD-based navigation system and Bluetooth® wireless technology ensure that you’ll have ample maps, directions, and wireless phone capability on your journey.

Safety features include dual-stage front airbags and side, seat-mounted airbags to protect front occupants in a collision. Standard TracDSC (Dynamic Stability Control) enhances vehicle stability and control during quick, evasive maneuvers. The standard Enhanced Computer Active Technology Suspension automatically ensures the optimum balance between ride and handling by continuously adjusting the vehicle's shock absorber settings. 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes and an Anti-Lock Braking System with Brake Assist and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution offer amazing stopping power and minimize wheel lockup during hard braking. 

For those who have the means to own one, the 2008 Jaguar XK is a divine grand touring machine that offers some of the most pleasurable driving experiences in its class.
