2008 Jaguar XKR Coupe Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Jaguar XKR Coupe

The Jaguar XKR Coupe is the high-performance, hardtop version of Jaguar's redesigned XK Coupe. Supercharging gives the Jaguar XKR Coupe more power, while a light yet rigid aluminum structure affords a sporty nature with a quiet, comfortable, yet agile 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 car comes with a high level of standard equipment and only a short list of options, such as adaptive cruise control.
