Lots of carmakers try to convince you that certain models are sexy, but precious few live up to the hype. Climb behind the wheel of the Jaguar 2dr Convertible XKR and absolutely no one will question that you’re driving one sexy beast. Since 1935, Jaguar has been synonymous with sleek and powerful sports cars. The new XKR is perhaps the legendary carmaker’s most accomplished car. Shouldered and powerful as ever, the XKR is even sleeker with an aluminum bodyshell drawn taut across the chassis. An Eaton supercharger on this “Best Of’s” 4.2-liter, AJ-V-8 engine ramps horsepower to 420 to take you from 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds. A six-speed, ZF sequential-shift transmission allows gear changes via steering wheel-mounted paddles, and the enhanced Computer Active Technology Suspension reads road conditions and automatically adjusts damping for optimum balance and control. The XKR offers oversized anti-lock disc brakes, and its TracDSC system electronically uses the anti-lock braking and traction control systems to improve directional stability when cornering. Technology enhances safety with features like continuous tire pressure monitoring and sensors that deploy high-strength aluminum hoops to protect passengers in case of rollover.
