THE XK
Information Provided by:
Power, style and uncompromised luxury; the XK
epitomizes Jaguar’s legendary talent for creating
beautiful high performance vehicles. A grand tourer
with the heart and soul of a sports car, the XK builds
on Jaguar’s reputation for stunning design with its
contemporary fusion of dramatic sweeping curves
and a low-riding profile.
The range is comprised of three models – XK, XKR
and XKR-S. Each is formed from aluminum, for a
unique combination of lightness, strength and agility,
propelled by the Jaguar 5.0 liter V8 or 5.0 liter V8
Supercharged engine. Together they offer a unique
combination of sporting luxury, and the promise of
an exhilarating drive.

XK Convertible models combine the thrill of open top driving
with uncompromised handling and comfort. Opening and stowing
in just eighteen seconds, the roof folds itself neatly beneath a
striking aluminum tonneau fitting flush within the body – reducing
buffeting at speed and compact enough to retain the car’s iconic
shape. The triple layer roof incorporates innovative ultra-thin
insulation material to deliver outstanding protection from weather,
wind and road noise.

ALUMINUM
Information Provided by:
The all-aluminum body construction is fundamental to the way the XK performs. Using technology derived from
the aerospace industry, it delivers a combination of lightness, strength and rigidity – the key to great sports
car handling, superb performance and impressive efficiency. High torsional rigidity delivers exceptional agility,
reduced body roll and pin-sharp cornering; less weight results in faster acceleration, shorter braking distances,
improved fuel economy and lower emissions when compared to an equivalent steel-bodied car.

The Jaguar 5.0 Liter AJ-V8 GEN III engine delivers heart-racing acceleration and effortless power. It employs state-of-
Information Provided by:
the-art engineering technologies to maximize its performance and refinement. Spray-guided direct injection optimizes
air to fuel ratios, while Cam Profile Switching adapts cam periods, depending on power requirements, giving up to 10
percent more mid-range torque. Dual Independent Variable Cam Timing recycles residual waste gases lowering emissions
and improving fuel economy.

At every turn the XK rewards the driver with involved,
outstanding driving dynamics. With its aluminum
monocoque bodyshell providing exceptional torsional
stiffness, it offers precise handling and fine body control.
All models employ an array of intelligent adaptive
technologies designed to assist but not overwhelm.
The Servotronic 2 steering system provides support
to improve maneuvering at low speeds but reduces
assistance at higher speeds. The ZF 6HP28 6-speed
automatic transmission reads individual driving styles
and the road environment to constantly adapt its gear
shift pattern. It is designed to optimize fuel efficiency
while anticipating and preparing to provide the instant
power that high speed maneuvering or overtaking may
require. It works in conjunction with Dynamic Stability
Control which intervenes in demanding driving situations
by applying braking to individual wheels where necessary,
reducing engine torque and helping to maintain stability
in challenging driving conditions.
JaguarDrive ControlTM offers the driver the opportunity
to select different modes to suit their driving preference
or the prevailing conditions. Dynamic mode delivers even
more responsive acceleration for a thrilling sporting
experience. Winter mode dampens the accelerator pedal
response to help reduce the risk of spin and maintain
progressive wheel control in slippery conditions. Its bespoke
shift settings delay and soften gear shifts for better
control with low grip.

OUT THE CURVEs
The XK features a range of innovative and advanced driving
technologies designed to complement the driver and enhance
the drive. Adaptive Dynamics continuously monitors the car’s
speed, steering and body movements, analyzing the suspension
response and varying the damping to suit the conditions,
whether cornering, navigating uneven surfaces or accelerating
on an open road. The system calculates the appropriate
suspension response 500 times every second keeping the
vehicle flat, stable and secure, allowing confident, precise
handling without any loss of ride comfort.
With its higher performance capabilities, the XKR demands even
greater agility and control. In the XKR, the Active Differential
works together with the traction, ABS and Dynamic Stability
Control to analyze the firmness of the road surface. It adjusts
the differential of each wheel to optimize traction on loose
surfaces, and sharpen the car’s agility through bends.
The XKR model’s ride and handling capabilities can be further
enhanced with the optional Dynamic Pack. This includes
extensive revisions to the suspension, including a stiffer
front knuckle for improved steering precision, bespoke spring
and damper settings, revised Adaptive Dynamics and a 10mm
reduction in ride height.
