Introducing the Jaguar XKR-S
THE JAGUAR XKR-S
GENEVA, Switzerland, March 1, 2011 - Making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2011, the XKR-S is the most extreme expression yet of Jaguar's passion for building beautiful, fast cars. For the first time with a series production car, Jaguar gains entry to the exclusive '300kph club' (186mph) thanks to the effortless performance of the supercharged 5.0-litre AJ-V8 engine. A revised fueling map means the direct-injection powerplant now produces 550hp* and 502 lb/ft of torque. Extensive tuning has ensured that power delivery and performance are seamless, contributing to a 0-60mph time of 4.2 seconds. The active exhaust encourages and rewards the enthusiastic driver with dramatic, motorsport-inspired aural feedback.
The pinnacle of the XK range builds on experience gathered from the supercharged XKR and has been developed to extend the performance parameters of the car. This new sharper-edged character allows the enthusiastic driver to explore the limits of the car's dynamics without losing the refinement for which Jaguar is famous. The structural rigidity of the lightweight aluminum platform allowed the suspension to be reworked with bespoke components for increased stiffness without a commensurate loss of refinement. A reworked aluminum front suspension knuckle and revised rear geometry are allied to stiffer springs and dampers, lightweight forged alloy wheels and recalibrated steering effort provide immediate response and produce a more connected and agile driving experience.
The performance of the XKR-S is reflected in both its interior and exterior styling, which feature exclusive new paint colors that reflect Jaguar's racing heritage. As with competition Jaguar cars of the past, the exterior of the XKR-S adheres to the principle of form following function. In addition to the styling changes, the XKR-S was the subject of extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics development work in order for it to achieve 186mph. The resultant changes reduce front and rear lift and optimizes lateral aerodynamic stability. The performance intent of the XKR-S is clear from the moment the driver enters the cabin thanks to new cosseting Performance seats with prominent shoulder bolsters for close support during hard cornering. The seats feature 16-way adjustment, with memory and heating functions. A new three-spoke steering wheel provides the perfect interface between car and driver.
