The Jaguar XKR-S Coupe will be on sale summer ’08 and only 200 cars will be produced. They will only be available on the European markets, with left and right hand drive and all cars will come in black. It’s the fastest of its kind, with 19mph more then the XKR and the fastest since the XJ220 from the early 90s.
  It reaches an electronically limited top speed of 174mph (280kph)The groundbreaking performance comes from improved aerodynamics, unique suspension set-up and recalibrated engine management. The optional ultra fast manual shifts controlled by steering wheel - mounted paddle shifts - with shift times measured in milliseconds probably makes the XKR-S have the fastest shifting transmission in the world. Without loosing comfort, Jaguar made some radical changes to the suspension and steering to provide further enhanced ride and handling characteristics making the XKR-S more agile then previous models.The breaks for the XKR-S developed by Jaguar’s Special Vehicles team in partnership with British competition brake specialist Alcon can only be characterized as high performance. After thousands of miles of testing on some of the most demanding roads, the XKR-S Alcon R Performance Breaking System features 400mm diameter discs on the front and 350mm discs at the rear which are radially ventilated for cooling and to resist fade under the hardest use. The breaking system was specifically designed to match the XKR-S’s top speed.
 The exterior has been changed, so it looks different without being overstated. The body has a stiff all aluminum structure whit new front air splitter, side sill extensions, a rear spoiler and a new rear bumper with a diffuser panel.
  The XKR-S has new bespoke springs, anti-roll bars and unique dampers. The core suspension parameters are recalibrated, the XKR-S uses the Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) with unique tuning and it also uses a faster ratio steering rack. Last but certainly not least, the 4.2litre V8 supercharged engine under its hood isn’t something to be overlooked.
 Inside it has a luxury sport theme whit soft leather, ivory twin needle contrast stitching, electrically adjustable seating with adjustable bolsters and black veneer trim.The Jaguar XKR-S Coupe is a mix of high speed performance, dynamic excellence and crafted luxury which definitely makes it a super car.
