Thanks to Jaguar XKR-S online customizer and configurator, we can now confirm the car has a base price of $132,000 in America.
For that money, besides the awesome looks and amazing exhaust noise which alone worth more than the asking price, you get a weapons-grade 550 hp supercharged V8 and 502 lb-ft of torque (680 Nm) that takes the car up to 186 mph or over 300 km/h top speed after hitting 60 from stand still in slightly over 4 seconds.
The XKR-S is equipped as standard with Jaguar’s High Performance Braking System, stiffer chassis and suspension and refined traction control for improved handling over the standard car.
The XKR-S is available in a range of five paint colours, two of which evoke Jaguar’s competition heritage: Italian Racing Red and French Racing Blue. Like the lining of a bespoke suit, the finishing touch is provided by the brake calipers, available in either red or gunmetal and emblazoned with the ‘Jaguar’ name.
The interior of the Jaguar XKR-S has been subtly refreshed with a host of new trim materials including ebony soft-feel paint for the switches and gloss black finish to the centre console. The model will also be exclusively available with a Dark Linear Aluminium finish as an option to the wood veneers. A new leather-wrapped, multi-function steering wheel has also been added, providing a beautiful, tactile interface between car and driver as do the bright, Jaguar-embossed, stainless steel pedals.
Check out the car’s Online Configurator and see the available options and trims.
