With the enormous additional thrust produced by the Eaton Roots-type supercharger, in combination with the then-4.0-liter V-8, the steel cat was truly unleashed. Suddenly, the somewhat hefty XKR was capable of rocketing along autobahn fast lanes with Germany's best high-performance machines. The important news in a car that hasn't needed a substantial exterior revision for some time is the bigger, more powerful AJ34 4.2-liter V-8 and a six-speed ZF automatic transmission. Even without the extra cylinder-stuffing supercharger boost, this engine makes a respectable 294 horsepower. For those, however, who require the large-caliber, force-fed setup, the output from the blower-aided 4.2 is 390 horsepower and 399 lb-ft of big-cat pounce. Jaguar claims, and it certainly feels like, 80 percent of the peak torque is available from 1400 rpm. So, obviously, there's no waiting for the effortless surge needed to merge or pass. The maximum road speed of the car is electronically limited to 155 mph, although we managed a true 161 mph. Adding to this automobile's ability to coddle and excite are the latest in driving electronics. These features include auto-adjusting shock damping, dynamic stability control, adaptive cruise control, and emergency brake assist. The R version also gets retuned steering, a firmer suspension, a lower ride height, a standard navigation system, Brembo brakes, leather-wrapped Recaro bucket seats, and a Momo steering wheel. The sleek XKR is about three things: sparkling performance, elegant luxury, and high British style. Body Style: ConvertiblenEngine Size: 4.2L Supercharged Horse Power: 390
