Jaguar has just taken the wraps off two special edition variants of the Jaguar XK sports car. Dubbed the Signature and Dynamic R, the two packages are available for both the standard XK coupe and XK convertible
Starting with the Jaguar XK Dynamic R Coupe and Convertible, it incorporates the new Black Dynamic Pack as well as the same suspension and dynamics setup as the Jaguar XKR-S. As a result, the XK Dynamic R sees a 10 mm reduction in ride height. Additionally, the Jaguar XK Dynamic R includes improved steering precision courtesy of a stiffer knuckle, uprated spring and damper settings as well as Jaguar’s Adaptive Dynamics system which controls vertical body movement, roll and pitch rates. Completing the performance upgrades is an active exhaust system as standard
Under the hood, the XK Dynamic R comes with Jaguar’s awesome 5.0-liter supercharged V8 powerplant delivering a total of 503 hp and 625 Nm of torque. Consequently, the car can sprint to 60 mph in a mere 4.6 seconds before topping out at 174 mph thanks to the addition of the Speed Pack.
From a visual standpoint, the Jaguar XK Dynamic R boasts Jaguar’s new diamond sewn performance seat finished in Ivory and Charcoal soft grain leather. Additionally, it features contrasting Ivory stitching with a Charcoal and Red leather option available with red contrasting stitching. The car then features 20-inch Vortex diamond turned wheels with distinctive red painted brake calipers and the option of 20-inch Vulcan Gloss Black lightweight alloy wheels.
The Jaguar XK Dynamic R is priced from 69,950 pounds on-road and is only available in the U.K.
this is one car that may have been out done by rivals in power but it really is beautiful especially in that rauchy red colour. in years to come it will still look as beautiful as now and I will miss that oval grill.
