Performance
Beneath its aluminium skin, the new XK´s racing heart beats faster, stronger, courtesy of two all-new advanced and highly efficient 5.0L AJ V8 GEN III engines.
It´s a combination of aerospace-derived lightness, greater power and engineering excellence that delivers even more exhilarating performance with exceptional efficiency. Whilst the technology is complex, the reason we pioneer
ed aerospace all-aluminium construction is simple: less weight, coupled with high strength and rigidity, is the key to making a truly great sports car. In fact, the XK´s all-aluminium monocoque bodyshell is fundamental to the way it performs.
And now, with the introduction of two all-new 5.0L direct injection V8 engines offering substantial increases in power and torque, performance is shifted from merely exceptional to truly extraordinary. Jaguar´s new natuarally aspirated 5.0L V8 powers the XK models. It produces 283kW and delivers acceleration from 0-100kph in just 5.5 seconds.
The responsiveness of our new engines is matched only by the smoother, more refined, more eager performance of an all new, class leading ZF 6HP28 automatic transmission. This lightning-fast six-speed represents the very latest in transmission technology, incorporating innovative features such as a fully adaptive shift system, to smooth out and refine the shift quality, and enhance the driving experience. For maximum driver involvement and total control, gears can be selected manually using paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel.
It's a driving experience designed to be exceptional.
DESIGN
Some cars are built. Some are engineered. A Jaguar is created. A rare blend of art and performance, science and beauty. A new Jaguar is one of the most technologically advanced and luxurious cars ever made.
Science and Beauty
Even standing still, the new XK looks fast. Coupe or Convertible, ultra-efficient new 5.0L V8 or thrilling new 375kW supercharged, its sweeping, athletic lines and muscular rear haunches exude immense visual energy. Fast has never looked this seductive. Visual energy is created by an aluminum skin stretched taut over the light, yet strong and immensly rigid body structure that gives the new XK its remarkable agility.
It's the energy that comes from the XK´s purity of designm with sculpted surfaces created to cut the air with aerodynamic efficiency, delivering the visual promise of breathtaking performance and driving excitement. It's the purity that comes from the XK´s exquisite, precision detailing. Complex mesh surfacing for the front grille openings. Bold, technically advanced headlamps. Elegant and distinctive side power vents.
The sculpted nose now features a dramatic new front bumper design with chrome detailed air intakes, heightening the look of power and performance. This is the beauty of a car that so effortlessly fulfils the dual roles of sophisticated, luxurious Grand Tourer and exhilarating, dynamic sports car. This is the new XK. This is the new Jaguar.
Craftsmanship
With an interior rich in craftsmanship, style and technical innovation, the new XK takes the sports car experience to a thrilling new level.
Craftsmanship takes a modern turn in the new XK. You see it in the elegant centre console featuring the precision-made JaguarDrive Selector with its rotary shifter. Press the pulsing ‘start’ button on the new console, and this cylindrical cast alloy shift control rises up into the palm of your hand. To select a gear, simply twist.
It replaces the traditional gear lever with a sleek, space-efficient, ergonomic design that’s compact and elegant. And beautifully created. Another bold example of Jaguar design. Craftsmanship in the new XK also comes in the form of gorgeous wood and technical finishes. Like the modern, straight-grained Rich Oak, or Aluminium Knurled pattern. Or the stunning Dark Oak veneer and Dark Mesh Aluminium for the XKR.
And craftsmanship with bespoke luxury reaches a new pinnacle with the XK. It features the richest, twin-stitched Softgrain leather for the seats, upper facia and doors, along with warm Suedecloth headlining, premium carpet mats and a new Figured Ebony veneer. In convertible models, there’s flawless craftsmanship in the sophisticated fabric roof. Triple-lined to deliver hushed, top-up cruising, it can be powered up or down in less than 18 seconds. And when lowered, it retracts completely into the bodywork beneath a rigid tonneau cover, so as not to compromise the XK’s seductive lines.
We describe this combination of exquisite craftsmanship, luxurious finishes and technical excellence one way: Jaguar Sporting Luxury.
Technology
Intuitive design is about using advance technologies to empower the driver, not to over-power. It’s about creating a driving experience that excites and exhilarates.
We believe the driver should be left to enjoy the drive and not worry about mast
ering complex technologies or illogical controls. It's why the new XK features a crystal-clear 7-inch Touch-screen that sets the bench mark for simple intuitive operation. Its menu based system lets you control many of the car’s key interior functions - climate control, entertainment, satellite navigation, Bluetooth telephone connectivity, even the settings on your iPod. To make a selection, simply touch the screen.
It’s why the XK’s new 6-speed automatic transmission is designed to provide continuous adaptation of its shift changes to suit your driving style; more responsive when you’re pressing on, more relaxed when you’re not. And a touch of a button is all that’s needed to engage JaguarDrive Control and bring out the tru sports car character of the XK.
In Dynamic Mode, the system will hold the lower gears longer, kick down more readily, firm-up the suspension, and send your pulse racing. JaguarDrive Control even offers a winter mode to give you more confidence tackling icy conditions. And to heighten the thrill of driving the new XK even further, the remarkable Adaptive Dynamics system monitors body movement 100 times a second, adjusting damping to deliver legendary Jaguar ride comfort coupled with pure sports car handling.
As you’d expect, the supercharged XKR takes cornering ability to an even higher level. Its new, fully automatic, electronic Active Differential Control provides enhanced traction to sharpen the car's agility through the curves. Illuminating the XK’s path through those curves is Active Front Lighting which points the car’s Bi-Xenon headlamps in the direction you’re turning.
This is Jaguar Technology making the new XK easy to enjoy, truly exhilarating to drive.
