Our Jaguar XKRs are not just gorgeous to look at and a tribute to lightweight British sports car engineering at its finest - you'll also discover that if you give them the space to exercise their supercharged, 4.2 litre V8 motors, they are quite incredible to drive. We give them that space. And more. It's the most powerful car we use and will put a thundering 420bhp under your right foot.

Better still is the fact that with a 6 speed paddleshift transmission and an ocean of torque coming from the engine even at idling speed, the performance is also fabulously accessible. No need to change down or wait for the engine to spring into action: it's all there, all of the time, just waiting for its next command. It's pretty handy in the corners too, thanks to its all-aluminium construction, track tuned suspension, and racing brakes.
