The car is able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in about 4.2 second along with a top speed of around 225.675mph. The sleek Jag featured a throatier exhaust along with free flowing pipes. The Jaguar XKR Goodwood hardtop was painted in a lime green and the front fascia was made of a new satin graphite grille. It also features headlamp surrounds and flat painted mirrors along forward opening hood. The car was also available with an upgraded rolling stock with a set of signature 21 inch rims. Both front and rear suspension had double wishbones along with coil springs, active dampers. The car was developed with an aluminum body over aluminum-alloy chassis. The Jaguar XKR Goodwood was introduced at the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed as a special version with updated features.
