The Jaguar XKR is the performance-focused take on the brand's grand tourer, offered here as a Coupe or Cabrio. This late version of the second generation blends long-distance comfort with genuinely rapid pace.
Every Jaguar XKR engine in this generation is a supercharged gasoline V8, so power arrives instantly rather than only at high revs. Drive goes to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission with steering-wheel paddles, a drivetrain that stays relaxed in traffic and sharpens noticeably in its sportier modes.
