Jaguar unveil special edition XKR

Jaguar XKR Special Edition

Jaguar is set to release an extra special edition XK to mark the quality car manufacturer's 75 years in the motoring industry.

To whet car buyers appetites, Car Dealer Magazine has revealed that this supercar Jag is no pussycat, offering 530 bhp from a 5.0 litre supercharged engine. With 655Nm of torque, the car has no problems reaching 60 mph in just over four seconds with a top speed of 174 mph. With stiffer dampners and a lower ride height the '75' is reportedly one of the best Jaguar's ever made.

On the outside, the XKR 75's looks fail to disappoint, with a sporty bodykit, massive exhaust and 20 inch alloys. According to Auto Express, owners will be able to choose an individual graphics pack and stratus paint job if they really want to stand out.

Priced at around £85,000, only 75 models will be produced, meaning Jaguar enthusiasts are already looking to sign the order book in July. If you're lucky, you may spot the exclusive car at high-end events or under pristine Chelsea pads.

Managing director of Jaguar, Mike O'Driscoll, commented on the sumptuous model, saying: ''This is a fitting way to celebrate the sporting credentials of the XK marque in the 75th year of the Jaguar name.''
