Jaguar XK

The Jaguar XK is a two-door grand touring two-seater produced and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 1996-2014. The first generation was marketed as the XK8, replacing the XJS and was Jaguar's first 8-cylinder and the second generation XK, noted for its aluminium monocoque bodyshell. The XK8 was launched in 1996 to replace the XJ-S. Two body styles were produced - a coupé and a convertible. The XK8 came standard with 17-inch alloy wheels. Jaguar's Adaptive Cruise Control is an optional feature available on both models.

The redesigned XK introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany in 2005. The standard XK model has a limited top speed of 158 mph while the XKR a limited top speed of 174 mph. There is also an XKR-S model which was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2012. The XKR-S gained an additional 40-horsepower over the XKR bringing the 0-60 mph time down to only 4.4 seconds and the top speed up to 300 km/h. A convertible version of the XKR-S was released in 2012.
