2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT claws at the driving enthusiast in us
If you still find yourself coming up a few seconds short per lap in your Jaguar XKR-S, the British automaker has introduced the XKR-S GT – a cat specifically tuned for the racing circuit – at the New York Auto Show. While Jaguar has left the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 unchanged (550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque), it has tuned and tweaked all the items that really make cars go quicker on the track (e.g. suspension, aerodynamics, contact patches, brakes). A once-over reveals upgraded go-fast goodies including a new ventilated hood, extended wheel arch spats, reworked ... Read More

Official: 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT takes fiercest feline further [UPDATE] 1364313600
If there were any car to overshadow the 542-horsepower Jaguar XJR that's coming to the New York Auto Show, this is it. Meet the Jaguar XKR-S GT – a street-legal, higher-performance version of the already hardcore XKR-S that will be headed to North America in very limited quantities. Only 30 will be offered on our continent, with 25 earmarked for the ...

Geneva: 2012 Jaguar XKR Artisan Edition proves there's nothing wrong with a sexy black dress 1331136000
It's been said before, but Jaguar doesn't seem to know how to make a bad-looking car these days. Take the current XK, for example. It's been around since 2006 and has largely gone unchanged aside from a slight nip/tuck for the 2012 model year, but it's arguably one of the most beautiful coupes in the luxury GT segment. To further enhance the XK's good ...

Los Angeles: 2012 Jaguar XKR-S Convertible is fast, expensive and already sold out 1321566900
Jaguar has pulled the covers off its 2012 XKR-S Convertible here at the LA Auto Show, the droptop variant of the XKR-S Coupe which arrived earlier this year. Fitted with a power-operated folding cloth roof, the two-door takes its passengers from shade to sun in just 18 seconds at the touch of a button. The most powerful and fastest open-topped GT Jaguar ...

Official: Jaguar bringing XKR-S Convertible to LA 1321028460
Jaguar has officially announced that the droptop counterpart to its new XKR-S will bow at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. We've spied the XKR-S Convertible before, and aside from some minor tweaks to the suspension to keep the car from getting all wobbly after the roof was cut off, not much else is expected to change during the coupe-to-cabrio ...

New York 2011: Jaguar makes the XF we always wanted and tweaks the XK for 2012 1303424940
The Jaguar XF only arrived in 2008, but in just three years, it has reset the course for a brand that was hobbled by the transgression of the X-Type and a beloved but aging XJ. In 2010, it received a new set of engines that delivered performance on par with the promise of the concept car, and now, for 2012, we have a car that delivers on the looks of ...

Geneva 2011: 2012 Jaguar XKR-S waves the E-Type's flag at 50 1299004020
Having recently released its innovative and show-stopping C-X75 concept last Fall, Jaguar probably didn't have the resources – or perhaps the need – to create a brand-new E-Type in observance of the seminal car's 50th birthday. Thus, we get the XKR-S, with 550 horsepower, 502 pounds of torque and aggressively redesigned aero. We're not ...

Spy Shots: Extra-hot Jaguar XKR caught ahead of Geneva debut 1298062680
Jaguar testers have just been caught running around the British countryside with a pair of camouflaged XK coupes. One looks to be the upcoming facelifted XKR, while the other appears to be a mysterious – and as-yet unnamed – more powerful XKR variant. Rumor has it that this super XKR could be named the XK-E in honor of the 50th anniversary ...

Monterey 2010: Jaguar's 75th birthday party at Pebble Beach 1281999540
We've already shown you that Jaguar was honored at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with a dozen XK-SS roadsters showing up for the party, but there were other Jaguars on hand as well – lots and lots of remarkable Jags. The history of Jaguar actually began almost 90 years ago when two young men hell-bent on motorcycle glory set up a small ...
