An exclusive Jaguar XKR - the XKR 75 - will make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 2.
Jaguar Land Rover's new CEO in the UK, Dr Ralf Speth, initiated the challenge to the Jaguar engineering team to construct an XKR to celebrate Jaguar's 75th anniversary, which would deliver a combination of enhanced performance, superb chassis and steering control and grip levels to inspire the driving enthusiast to explore the true potential of the XKR's capabilities.
Jaguar engineers increased the power and torque of the 5-litre supercharged engine to 395 kW and 655 Nm respectively for the XKR 75, with the limited edition model's top speed electronically limited to 280km/h.
The XKR 75's 0—100km/h acceleration time is reduced from 4.6 to 4.4 seconds compared to the standard XKR.
The Jaguar XKR 75 features revised suspension and a revised aerodynamic body pack with a front splitter, side sills extensions, a rear diffuser and larger rear spoiler provide increased balance and a reduction in lift.
Sales will be limited to just 75 cars, making it unlikely that any of the cars will be available in SA.
