2008 Jaguar XKR Convertible

2008 Jaguar XKR Convertible Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Jaguar XKR Convertible

The Jaguar XKR Convertible is the high-performance, soft-top version of Jaguar's redesigned XK Coupe. Supercharging gives the Jaguar XKR Convertible more power, while a light yet rigid aluminum structure yields a sporty nature with a quiet and sophisticated ride. Its powerful V8 engine drives the rear wheels with a six-speed automatic transmission that allows manual operation via steering wheel-mounted paddles. The two-seater comes with a high level of standard equipment and only a short list of options, such as adaptive cruise control.
