Why does jag always lie about their 0-60 times? Car and driver said the new XKR could get to 60 in 4.0 seconds, and it had trouble hooking up. |

A couple of years ago R&T tested the XKR vs the Maserati Coupe and they were able to go 0-60 in 4.2 seconds so with an additional 90 hp a 4.0 0-60 time seems reasonable. I would guess the XKR 75 might get a sub 4 sec 0-60 time and get a low 12 or high 11 second 1/4 time with a professional driver. |
Thanks for the info.
Here's additional views: https://i257.photobucket.com/albums/...00_wallp-1.jpg https://i257.photobucket.com/albums/...00_wallp-2.jpg Interesting that one article mentions the U.S. version won't get the 20HP bump and the European Version will. |

Shouldn't there be a way to tune the supercharger to get 600 BHP like the Bonneville XFR? That would put it into supercar territory.

Those who order one will be the lucky few. I like the look!

that is one sexy beast :icon_razz:
|
I really like those wheels!
|
There's also XKR Black Edition coming out at the sametime.
no cares about 0-60 times, this car is built to turn and grip. take on a twisty road and open her up. 120mph around a corner at 2am in the morning is the best feeling in the world. but how would i know hehe |
Wow, that's beautiful out of all the cars what draws you to the Jaguar XKR
|
|
I gather the Black version is sans the super sport paint job?

You may know by now since this was post awhile back, but the 175 does in fact get the hp & torque boost, only difference from the 75 & 175 is the paint job (75 gray, 175 black) and the wheels (175 sans black wheels). Only reason I could see me going for a special edition would be for the black wheels thus it's a no go with the 175. |

According the Jaguar manager of product planning at Pebble Beach, the XKR 175 will have 510hp/461TQ. So looks like no bump in HP for the US vehicles.

Is there / Are there any decals, plackards or internal stamping that tells you the number you received : example XK:13/75 telling you, you have the 13th XK out of 75.

Sweet car! I was wondering what the 1 piece wheel options were as I've only been looking at 3 piece wheels thus far...
|
Nope, no "xx/75" badge, just the distinctive paint & wheels, and "XKR 75" scuff plates on the sills
