Jaguar XKR-S Convertible (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 08 February 2012 10:00

This is the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible, a 542bhp drop-top with a £100,000-plus price. A Jaguar XKR-S Convertible? Sounds a bit wrong to me. Can you imagine Porsche doing a GT3 cabrio? No, but then the XKR-S coupe and GT3 are very different cars, whatever the Jag’s fighty face and mighty figures suggest. The Porsche is, was and always will be, a trackday ...

Jaguar XKR-S (2011) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 01 June 2011 00:01

The new XKR-S is Jag’s hottest XK yet, a 542bhp beast based on last year’s 75 anniversary special but with even more power. And this time it's got mouth as well as trousers. The front end of the XKR-S features a pair of gaping nostrils delivering air to the supercharged V8, and a black mouth that gives it a very ...

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR video review

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 05 October 2010 09:12

We take the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220 - the new XKR 75 - out to Germany’s Nurburgring for a video review. Jaguar has only built 75 examples as it celebrates its 75th birthday this year and in our video player below you can watch CAR writer Jethro Bovingdon as he closes in on the 174mph top speed of this boosted XKR. Updates ...

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR review

The Jaguar XK120 was so-called because it did 120mph, the XJ220 because it did 220mph. And this is the XKR 75... So it must do 75mph! Some kind of economy special is it? We’ll have you know that this is the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220. Instead of the usual 155mph limiter, this one can run on to 174mph before ...

Jaguar XK 5.0 Convertible (2009) first drive

Glen Waddington, 16 April 2009 10:30

Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the ever-so-subtle facelift that identifies the latest Jaguar XK Convertible: reprofiled front bumpers, mirrors with integrated LED indicators, new rear valance, LED tail lights and colour-coded side vents. A bit less subtle is the direct-injection 5.0-litre V8, up from 4.2 litres and with matching respective 26% and 23% boosts to power and torque. Put simply, ...

Jaguar XK 5.0 Coupe (2010) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 11 March 2009 00:01

We've always liked the Jaguar XK at CAR Towers. Those Callum curves, that lightweight aluminium build, the effortless performance... To be honest, there wasn't much wrong with the outgoing XK sports cars, so we were anxious to make sure the new, facelifted-for-2010 coupe and roadster didn't meddle with a winning formula. Now we've driven the new XK coupe, complete with ...

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2009) CAR review

3.5

Nick Trott, 20 February 2009 10:52

Ok, let’s try to get through this piece without mentioning the credit crunch. It won’t be easy, seeing as Jaguar’s revised XKR is a 911/M6/SL-rivalling, mile-munching supercharged GT costing £72,400, but we’ll give it a go. In a conscious effort to shake off the shackles of the ‘old man’ image Jaguar is making bold claims about the technology in not ...

Jaguar XKR-S (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 23 May 2008 10:32

Here’s the car Jaguar fans have been waiting for: the XKR-S, the fastest, hardest-looking XK so far. Available only in Ultimate Black as a limited run of 200 in right- or left-hand drive for European-only markets, the XKR-S is yours for a fiver short of £80k. Read on for CAR Online’s first review. How much extra power has the Jaguar ...

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2006) CAR review

3.5

Ben Oliver, 07 September 2006 08:50

Another old engine in a new shell; why should I get excited? True, both the new XK and now the new XKR use drivetrains largely carried over from the last-generation XK. But there wasn't much wrong with the old engines, and a whole lot right with the new chassis. The extra power of the supercharged XKR - 420bhp versus 300bhp ...
