Jaguar calls the XKR-S the company’s “most responsive, powerful, agile, and driver-focused production car.” It’s also the quickest ever. Yes, it’s quicker and more potent than even the 1992–94  XJ220 supercar.

Stout claim, but the numbers back it up. The twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 in the XJ220 we tested 18 years ago [November 1993] *generated 542 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque.

2012 Jaguar XKR-S - First Drive Review

 

We had a press xkr-s come into the dealer last week. They had me put a new carbon fiber front lower splitter vane on. Took it for a ride and it was amazing even with it raining out. Had an extemly hard time keeping traction and keeping it straight. The extra 50 hp is definitely felt and the roar of the exhaust is perfect. Looks even better in person. Can't wait for them to bring it back for it next inspection.
