Jaguar used the MotorExpo in Toronto (June 24-28, 2013) to present the all-new, limited-edition 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT. Priced at $179,000, only 5 of the 30 units will be sold in Canada.
Under the hood is a 5.0L supercharged V8 engine that produces 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque through a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission and active rear differential. Acceleration from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) takes 3.9 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited at 300 km/h (186 mph).
Available in white only, the 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT sports a high-strength, all-aluminum body, as well as extensive aerodynamic enhancements, suspension changes, and huge carbon ceramic brakes (398 mm front; 380 mm rear). It's the first production Jaguar to be fitted with such a braking system.
"The XKR-S GT is an uncompromised car, but one that inspires confidence and encourages the driver to push it to its limits, fully exploring its handling abilities. It's a car that draws you in and is never intimidating, with performance that is both accessible and rewarding," said David Pook, Technical Specialist, Steering and Handling.
