Spy Shots: 2009 Jaguar XKR

The 2009 Jaguar XK-R has been spotted and shot doing the rounds in Europe. With so many other pots on the boil, like the XF-R and the new XJ, the XK-R is going the subtle route when it comes to changes. Up front, new intakes will be fitted under the headlights, while out back LED tail lights will be fitted in place of the standard units. One change we are most excited to hear about is the swap from a telescoping aerial to a shark fin on the deck lid. On the convertible, the raised aerial caused all kinds of wind noise, which, frankly, was unacceptable on a $100K car. Inside you'll find, ta-da, Jaguar Drive. The final version of Jaguar's hottest kitten will be revealed at the Paris Motor Show.

Woodward Dream Cruise 2007: How we roll...


Click above image to see our car and ghetto-style streaming equipment

We're blessed to be automotive journalists in the first place, but we're doubly blessed this weekend to have a Jaguar XK-R Convertible in the Autoblog Garage the same weekend as the Woodward Dream Cruise. This is our Official Dream Cruiser for the festivities, and you'll be sure to see us out idling with the rest of the cruisers later on in the day.

Our other Official Dream Cruiser is Chris Shunk's Ford Freestyle, which at the moment is being used as the mobile command center for our streaming operation. The set up is a bit... ghetto, but it's getting the job done even better than we had hoped.

Check out the gallery below to see the Autoblog HQ at Royal Oak Ford north of 11 mile and our ultra low-tech streaming set up. Please don't laugh, it will hurt our feelings.
