510 angry British stallions + the best sedan interior = win?

it looks like a guy named "bavarian motors for the world" went into some town and raped a little girl named "mercedes benz" and this was the result, the offspring was then put up for adoption and some family named Jaguar in britain adopted the poor innocent baby

I like the design, it's not so mercedes and not so bmw, yet that not so subtle big arse reminds you it is a jag, nicely done

Both get the new 5.0L supercharged V8 that makes 510hp and 461ft lb, making the XKR more powerful than the DB9. So yeah. It sucks for you if you just bought an XKR yesterday.

The base XK's been renamed the XK Portfolio. It gets the naturally aspirated DI 5.0L V8 that makes 385hp. So yeah. It sucks for you if you just bought a base XK yesterday.

The engine weight is about the same despite additional doodads.

0-60mph in 4.7s for the XFR
0-60mph in 4.6s for the XKR
0-60mph in 5.2s for the XK Portfolio

Speed limiter set at 155mph for all models.

Out in Summer 2009

225 mph top speed?

.. muuuuch faster than i was expecting

ok so they say the prototype had "minor" modifications ... what would a nromal production car do 210, 215 mph maybe?
