OMG...this is the gem!!!!

But they never mentioned anything about weight loss??? So sad

It does look hot!!!

Am traditional when it comes to coupes or sports cars per say...relatively flat, long engine bay, small looking cabin area with a short boot section...like the XKs, Maseratis, Aston Martins, Nissan S13, S15 etc.

The XKR-S GT begins with the high-strength all-aluminum body structure featured on everyJaguar XK. This structure is assembled using aerospace derived aluminum bonding and riveting techniques. Astonishing performance is provided by a supercharged 5 -liter V8 engine, producing 550hp and 680 Nm of torque, driving through a six-speed automatic transmission and active electronically controlled rear differential.

Combined with the aerodynamic and suspension changes, plus revisions to the traction control system's calibration, the result is a 0-60mph time of 3.9 seconds. Electronically limited top speed is 300Km/h.

The addition of extensive aerodynamic enhancements, suspension changes, and carbon ceramic brakes, endow the XKR-S GT with track-ready performance. A limited production run will see just 30 cars built for North America, with 25 for the United States, and 5 for Canada.

A range of bespoke carbon fiber components all work to maximize the aerodynamic down force. These include an extended front splitter, dive-planes and an elevated rear wing.

The XKR-S GT will be offered exclusively in Polaris White with black racing stripes, and will feature a Jaguar R-S GT script on its louvered hood. The warm charcoal colored interior features red accents, and includes 16-way electrically adjustable performance seats finished in soft-grain leather and suede cloth with the Jaguar and R-S GT scripts integrated into the backrests. "Jet" black suede cloth is used for the headliner and steering wheel. Steering wheel mounted paddle shifters are now finished in aluminum and are fitted as standard.
