With some of the most amazing curves on a luxury grand touring sportscar, the supercharged 2008 Jaguar XKR was redesigned last year to rave reviews and returns this model year with the same dramatic, flowing lines and abundant V8 power.

Available as the magnificent XKR Coupe or sexy XKR Convertible, either model offers scintillating performance from its supercharged 4.2 liter V8 engine, producing a sublime 420 horsepower and deep wells of 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 XKR 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 XKR, and a selection of 19” and 20” chromed and aluminum alloy wheels only serves to enhance that image. Quad tailpipes with bright finishers provide a raspy exhaust note and sporting style. Rich, high-gloss Burl walnut or Poplar trim adds classy ambience inside the cockpit, while available 16-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. 

If breakneck acceleration combined with sumptuous luxury are must-haves in your next vehicle, the 2008 Jaguar XKR is the perfect grand touring sportscar for you.
