550 HP ennobled the XKR-S to the most powerful road-approved Jaguar of ever. This it not as wild as it suggests his increased optical drives the 300 km/h fast Coupe.
The English-German rivalry is also no longer what it once was. So actually speaks Jaguar at 300 km/h fast Jaguar XKR-S Highway strength and advertises with lap of the Nordschleife (under eight minutes). It is raised but not about sympathy
In any case it is at the Jaguar XKR-S the most powerful road-JAG ever. This motor intervention compared to the XKR limited keep: A umprogrammiertes control unit plus higher compression ratio - already shakes the five litre V8 40 HP more from the roots compressor.
The suspension modifications show that the Jaguar will be XKR-S more than just a performance variant, however: as more rigid aluminum steering knuckles to improve front steering precision, while higher spring rates and the lower ground clearance pitch-cyclic and roll movements on the collar.
In addition the active rear-axle differential when traction is required builds up ten percent more lock effect. And that is also good: finally mean 680 nm torque hard work for a lonely driving rear axle. To make a picture of it, it's enough to change by pressing a button in the dynamic mode: with relaxed ESP reins already medium-sized gas shocks cause in sweeping witty rear panning of the Jaguar XKR-s
From zero to Center in 4.4 seconds
Despite charging the direct injection of the Jaguar XKR-S refers to fine and cries louder as the Man Utd fan curve the unauthorized penalty with open Auspuffklappen. For the standard Sprint only 4.4 seconds pass, he even at rate 300 must be held by electronics of further outrages.
The 2 + 2 British composure has retained despite its dark side. So, the Adaptive shock sensitive to short strikes, is the smooth-running control ideal for relaxed cruising, while the bucket seats distinguish themselves more by convenience than ultimate lateral support.
Comfort extras such as the B & W sound system, rear-view camera, or a garage door opener come out of the ALU-Coupe Jaguar XKR-S as well as classic GT as the upright seating position. The Club rooms fit the Poltrona Frau leather sewn up under the roof, as well as chrome of lots of.
A few simple details such as power Windows buttons or switching paddling hard plastic should probably do not affect the sympathies towards the Jaguar XKR-S. Where the Germans anyway not. In the second-largest Jaguar market in Europe, especially the powerful models of the British are popular. The good old rivalry is no longer what it once was.
