2007 Jag XKR Convertible
June 18th, 2007
Everyone was pleased with the Jaguar XKR, which was first introduced in 2005. Two years later Jaguar has improved the XKR and has transformed it into a convertible. They took a great sports car and created a new and better one for people of every age to enjoy.
Like the normally aspirated XK model, the new Jaguar XKR Convertible makes intelligent use of practical, modern technology such as its industry-leading aluminium monocoque body structure. In addition, an uprated 420 bhp supercharged V8 engine and class-leading calibration of its state-of-the-art, six-speed automatic transmission bring it a level of accessible, real-world performance that makes the XKR Convertible the most impressive, everyday, sporting convertible.

2007 Jaguar XKR

For Jaguar right now, there are two important letters, more than any others that link the brand’s heritage and its future, and those letters are XK. For close to 60 years they’ve been the Jaguar shorthand for sports car, and while many things have changed since they unveiled the original XK120 prototype way back in 1948 (built in strictly limited numbers as a market teaser), one thing that hasn’t changed is Jaguar’s belief that style, performance and a distinctive personality is not a bad combination to build a car on.

At the British International Motor Show, Jaguar unveiled three brand new models including the top-of-the-range XK sports car the all-aluminum XKR. This uprated 420bhp V8 supercharged sports car shared its debut with a new XJ Long Wheelbase Diesel and another flagship model, the XJR Portfolio.
The new XKR captures the essence of what makes a Jaguar XK so special. It inspires drivers of all abilities with confidence thanks to its rigid lightweight body, superb chassis control and grip levels. This combination compliments the outright pace of the car, delivering a perfect balance between a GT cruiser and an exhilarating sports car.
