Jaguar XKR-S Convertible

Our trusty Teamspeed spies catch today a topless version of the monster Jaguar XKR-S today at the famous Nürburgring. The prototype was spotted undergoing high-speed handling tests and is almost production ready. We fully expect to find under the front bonnet the same supercharged 5.0-liter V-8, 550 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, power-plant from the XKR-S coupe.

The addition of the roof mechanisms and structural reinforcements will most likely bring us a heavier curb weight so the sprint from 0-60 mph run could be a bit longer then coupe’s, which clocks in at 4.2 seconds, but top speed should match the coupe at 186 mph.
