Set to debut at the LA Autoshow this week


"This is the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible, the fastest and most powerful open top Jaguar ever, and the missing piece in the XK puzzle. It now means the XK, XKR and XKR-S are all available in coupe and convertible guises.

These stunning images are our first glimpse of the car, which makes its debut at the LA Motor Show this week. The XKR-S Coupe caused a sensation when it arrived earlier this year. It was the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220, carried a £97,000 price tag and, according to engineers, had the ability to hit 200mph if the limiter was removed. The XKR-S Convertible is an even more dramatic proposition, with an even more dramatic price tag.

Under the hood is the same 542bhp supercharged 5.0-litre V8 as in the Coupe, which gives 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and a 186mph top speed. These figures are identical to the hard-top, despite the fact that this car weighs an extra 47kg. By remapping the fuel system and fitting a free-flowing active exhaust, 39bhp and 55Nm of torque has been freed up over the 503bhp XKR Convertible."

WOWOWOWOW thats hot...ill take it over a DB9 or Virage for sure...

 

Definitely take this over the Vantage, but I don't know about the Virage. That's a hot car too. I'm sure the spoiler's necessary, but it kind of ruins the flow of the lines to me.

Either way, this is one sexy car.

 

I first read about it here: New Jaguar XKR-S convertible roars out from Los Angeles Auto Show. The brand new Jaguar XKR-S convertible roared to life, delighting participants of the present Los Angeles Auto Show. That's just one week after the automobile was announced by the car maker. Collectors are certain to want this drop-top version of Jag's fastest and most effective model. The coupe version of the XKR-S has already wowed most critics and aficionados. But the new rag-top version delivers the same performance, power and style while the wind rustles your hair. Its high price tag puts it out of league for most people, and only 25 will be sent to the U.S.

 

 

I'm sure lots of car fanatics out there are excited for this new car.

 

Finally, someone agrees about having this car over a db9.

Love this car.

 

Wicked car!
