The Worlds Fastest Jaguar Finally Revealed
The worlds fastest Jaguar will roll up to Geneva with its fastest production in british motoring history. The mechanical modifications take the car’s maximum speed to 174mph.
The XKR beast is powered by the same engine in the ground-breaking XFR that last year became the fastest Jaguar ever when it hit 225mph at Bonneville.
The fact that this monster of a Jaguar is actually going to be put into production will have die hard Jag fans the world over reeling with excitement.
That car was a one-off designed to show the capabilities of the 503bhp supercharged V8 engine, which was almost unaltered from the production unit found here in the XKR.
Even without the Speed Pack, the XKR is limited to the usual 155mph. To reach the 174mph top out speed, Jaguar has altered the engine management and transmission software, while making aerodynamic alterations to the car’s body for improved stability.
Additionally, the front splitter is brand new on the Jag and the rear spoiler much bigger than the standard untouched model. The steering is also altered so that it’s slower - resulting in more stability - at speed.
The Speed Pack costs only £3,500 on top of the XKR’s £75,000 list price, a small price to pay for all that extra power, but it’s not available with the XKR Convertible for those that can resist a good pose.
Buyers looking for the ultimate Jaguar can also opt for the Black Pack, which is an extra £4,000 and is only available with the Speed Pack. Although Unsurprisingly, black is the main theme, so the awsome 20-inch trademark jaguar wheels are painted in a smooth black, along with the window surrounds, while the interior is finished in a beautiful black leather.
