Description
Big Cat at Full Tilt - 2000 Jaguar XKR
“THE CAT IS BACK”, was the announcement from Jaguar at the world première of the XK in Geneva on 7th March 1996. This particular sports car model had been long awaited.
The successor to the long-standing XJS was launched with a new 4.0 litre AJ-V8 engine as either a coupé or a two-door convertible. For reasons of time and cost, the new model was based on the chassis of the old XJS, while the body looks completely different. It is retro-styled and harks back to the E-Type of the 1960s. The XK8 therefore looks lighter than its predecessor, but also more dynamic. The ventilation slots on the bonnet are another reference to the E-Type. The interior is no less classically designed; nothing here is reminiscent of the previous XJS.
In 1998, a supercharged version was added, turning the XK8 into the XKR. The XKR in particular combines powerful performance (0-100 in approx. 5 seconds) with plenty of comfort and enough space for a relaxing journey for four people. 395 hp and 553 Nm of torque ensure superior power reserves in every situation. The suspension system aka CATS was also significant here, with adaptive shock absorbers that adapt to the road surface in milliseconds, so providing optimised contact with the carriageway.
The new XK sold over 14,500 units in its first year of production, surpassing the best annual figure of its predecessor, the XJS.
Our vehicle has been serviced extensively and regularly by the owner, which is confirmed by numerous invoices. A draught stop is also included.
