2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT Review

    The Jaguar XK has been around for a couple of years now and is one of my favorite Jaguars of all time. I just love the big hood intakes and the ferocious personality of the car. The XKR-S GT in particular, is the most powerful XK and rivals cars like the Aston Martin Vantage V12 S. It has a tuned version of Jaguar's wonderful 5.0 liter supercharged V8 that now produces 550 hp and 502 pound-feet of torque. This monster of an engine shoots the car to 60 in 3.9 seconds, which is very,very fast for something that weighs a lot, even though Jaguar has given this XK a very large diet. The interior is pretty much the same as the base XK but has carbon-fiber trim and R style sport buckets. Some of the main competitors for this mad Jag are the Porsche 911 Turbo/Turbo S, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG, and the Maserati Granturismo MC coupe. I love the XK and I hope Jaguar will not discontinue it for a while.
