Spied: Jaguar XKR-S Cabrio
The monster cat goes topless
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.
Our contributing Editor drove the hardtop XKR-S a few months ago ( read that review here XKR-S First Drive )at the ring and was thoroughly impressed by the monster cat so we can only expect the same from the drop top variant plus a bit of wind blown hair. Expect the Jaguar XKR-S Cabrio to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor show next March.

Then again, if you had enough money to buy an Aston, you would buy the Aston. People with the money required to purchase such a vehicle don't necessarily think about the "bang for the buck" factor. Some do, most don't.
If you were at a bar, you meet a woman, and she asks you to drive her somewhere, what car would u rather walk out to?
It's a good question, then again, I'm not gonna hide that I am an Aston fanboy.
