Jaguar XKR S, The World's Fastest Jaguar?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I know I've done a lot of Jaguars on here, but this is the Superman of Jags.
The Jaguar XKR S is powered by a 4.2 litre all aluminium four cam supercharged V8 engine that delivers around 420 horsepower.
That makes this cat run 60 in 5.2 seconds and gives it a top speed (electronically governed) of 174 mph.
That would make it the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220 supercar.
Unfortunately, The Jaguar XKR-S will be limited to only 200 cars in Europe.
But that's okay, it's retail is around £80,000.
No idea what that is in US dollars.

The Jaguar XJ

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

A Jaguar near and dear to my heart, because we have a 1988 XJ6.
The Jaguar XJ was more of a luxury touring car, not the land rockets some Jags were.
They came with the six cylinder and V-12.
But that's not to say the model had no high performance engines.
In 1994 they had a 6.0 L Jaguar V12 engine rated at 318bhp.
In 1995 there was a 326 bhp supercharged version of the straight-6 offered and badged as the XJR.
The X308 Mk II had a 4.0 litre supercharged option that delivered 370 bhp and also a 4.0 that provided 400 bhp.
