Jaguar XKR Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2006–2008) — Second Generation
The second-generation Jaguar XKR is the performance-focused version of Jaguar's grand tourer, offered as a sleek Coupe or an open-top Cabrio, pairing long-legged touring comfort with the sharper responses expected of a supercharged British GT.
Every Jaguar XKR engine here is a supercharged 4.2-litre petrol V8 driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission, in both Cabrio and Coupe form. That layout suits relaxed cruising, since the gearbox shifts smoothly on part throttle yet holds lower gears willingly when you press on.
