2010 Jaguar XKR
5.0L V8 XKR 75
In 2010 Jaguar Land Rover's new CEO, Dr Ralf Speth, initiated the challenge to the Jaguar engineering team to construct an XKR to celebrate Jaguar's 75th anniversary, which would deliver a combination of enhanced performance, superb chassis and steering control and grip levels to inspire the driving enthusiast to explore the true potential of the XKR's capabilities.
Jaguar engineers increased the power and torque of the acclaimed 5.0 litre supercharged engine to 530PS and 655Nm respectively for the XKR 75, to deliver truly outstanding performance. While the limited edition model's top speed is electronically limited to 174mph (280km/h), the XKR 75's 0 60mph (100km/h) acceleration time is reduced from 4.6 to 4.4 seconds compared to the standard 510 PS XKR.
The Jaguar XKR 75 features revised suspension and handling for increased precision and agility in addition to the performance enhancements. To ensure the XKR 75 remains stable at high speeds, a revised aerodynamic body pack with a front splitter, side sills extensions, a rear diffuser and larger rear spoiler provide increased balance and a reduction in lift. The XKR's computerised Active Differential Control also adjusts to reduce steering sensitivity at very high speeds, further improving stability and driver control. With an improved acoustics package for the semi active sports exhaust, the XKR 75 produces a pulse racing growl to match its performance.
The XKR 75 featured a new Stratus Grey finish. Red brake callipers contrast the eye catching 20 inch gloss Vortex forged lightweight alloys with a dark technical finish and diamond turn. Production was limited to just 75 cars worldwide.
