As promised, the steroid-fed XK looks to be as fleet-footed as a NASA orbiter, pulling down 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds on its way to a 186 mph top speed, just south of 300km/h. It also appears that each and every one of its 542 horses (same as the XJ220) has an insatiable appetite for very expensive tires.

To further enhance the XK's good ...

    Geneva 2011: 2012 Jaguar XKR-S waves the E-Type's flag at 50     1299004020

    Having recently released its innovative and show-stopping C-X75 concept last Fall, Jaguar probably didn't have the resources – or perhaps the need – to create a brand-new E-Type in observance of the seminal car's 50th birthday. Thus, we get the XKR-S, with 550 horsepower, 502 pounds of torque and aggressively redesigned aero. We're not ...
