We are excited to announce the introduction of the XKR Special Edition to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Jaguar.
Revealed at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the XKR Special Edition delivers a significantly raised maximum speed – 280kph – and bold exterior styling changes that create the ultimate supercharged Jaguar.
The XKR Special Edition is available to order now, with vehicles arriving in September/October. Only ten (10) XKR Special Editions will be coming to Australia and will be available in Coupe form only.
The XKR Special Edition will be approximately $17,000 over and above the standard XKR Coupe of $255,000 (excluding the accessory fit bespoke luggage).
We are sure you will agree that the XKR Special Edition is an extremely exciting package.
The maximum speed of the exciting XKR Special Edition is 280kph. This has increased from an electronically limited maximum speed of 250kph on the standard XKR.
Power, torque and all other performance figures are the same as for the standard XKR Coupe.
