A real spirit and thrill to drive with the roof down in a car capable of such speeds
Not yet seen on the road in Dubai! However, sources tipped Dubai Chronicle that prices start from AED 620,000 onwards and deserve every fills.
The top of Jaguar sporting range – the Jaguar XKR-S – is now joined by a convertible with a seducing blend of abilities offering driver and passenger a magnified comfort.
The Jaguar XKR-S Convertible embodies all the characteristics that have always defined luxury super cars – explosive performance, involving handling, relaxed comfort and discreet luxury. The new model line-up sits at the top of the XK range, which now consists of XK, XKR and XKR-S derivatives in coupe and convertible format.
The new Jaguar XKR-S Convertible represents the peak of performance and glamour in motoring. The building block for the car’s superb performance is an uprated version of the 5.0-litre supercharged AJ-V8 engine, which produces 550PS (405kW) and 502lb/ft (680Nm) of torque.
Extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics, wind tunnel and track work has resulted in the aerodynamic design changes applied to the XKR-S Convertible. These perform an essential function in maintaining stability in an open-topped car capable of speeds as high as 186mph (300km/h).
The engineering integrity of the acclaimed AJ-V8 petrol engine, now in its third generation. The advanced design of the quad-cam, all-aluminium AJ-V8 incorporates spray-guided direct injection and variable valve timing for great efficiency as well as prodigious power. The Roots-type twin-vortex supercharger nestling in the ‘V’ of the engine has twin intercoolers and is 20 percent more thermodynamically efficient than its predecessor.
With the convertible hood stowed away, the interior of the XKR-S is a subject to as many envious glances as the exterior, with both highlighting the car’s high performance intent.
