Jaguar XKR-S: tradition and power

The range of Jaguar XK, the XKR-S is added, the version that the brand will present in Geneva and is the most powerful production model of its production. The engine is the bigger version of the supercharged V8 engine and suspension have also been revised with the new aerodynamic design. The Jaguar XKR-S pulls out a power of 550 horsepower and peak torque of 680 Nm and a top speed of 300 km / h with a step from 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.4 seconds.

Performance of all relief that is also associated with an agility and responsiveness as a reference. The body structure is lightweight aluminum and helps reduce fuel consumption. In its category is the car that emits less than 300 per 100 km of CO2. Changes to both front and rear suspensions have led to greater precision and control while driving in the Adaptive Dynamics reprogrammed made this sport even more manageable.

For all other details must await the opening of the Geneva Motor Show, a chance for the House to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the E-type with the first of a series of events planned throughout the year Jaguar will hold a ride & drive with the E-type at the Parc des Eaux Vives in Geneva, where half a century ago the first car model was presented by its founder Sir William Lyons of the mark.

The influence of the E-type there is still the current range of the brand and because of the purity of its lines a copy is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
