Street legal and track prepped, the XKR-S GT is ready to kick butt
and take trophies.
Developed by Jaguar's ETO division to be the ultimate track-focused but road-going iteration of the XK coupe, the 2014 XKR-S GT is limited only in its production! Initial production will be limited to just 30 cars for the North American market, making it the rarest 'R' model in the 25-year history of Jaguar's R performance cars Extensive aerodynamic and suspension changes, as well as the addition of carbon ceramic brakes, have combined to give the XKR-S GT racecar inspired connected feel and braking performance.
FAST FACTS
The 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT is a track-ready and street legal version of the XK Coupe
Developed by the ETO division, Jaguar’s in-house specialty vehicle group
Constructed on an all-aluminum body structure, assembled using aerospace derived aluminum bonding and riveting techniques
a limited production run of just 30 cars for North America; 25 for the US and 5 for Canada
The XKR-S GT features bespoke aerodynamic components to increase down force, and has new suspension and steering systems designed to maximize high-speed cornering ability
Achieves a maximum down force of 320 pounds through the addition of aerodynamic aids including a carbon-fiber front splitter, dive planes, extended wheel arch spats, an elevated rear wing, rear diffuser and an aluminum under tray
The XKR-S GT reaches 60 mph in 3.9 seconds; electronically limited top speed of 186 mph
Powered by a 550 horsepower, 502 foot-pounds of torque rated supercharged five-liter
V8 engine coupled to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission and active electronically
controlled rear differential
Equipped with a carbon ceramic brake system which features 15.7-inches and 15.0-inches discs front/rear, gripped respectively by six and four-piston monoblock calipers. This is the first time such a brake system has been fitted to a production Jaguar vehicle
Suspension changes include: a wider front track, increased camber, revised bushings, a new steering system and faster steering ratio
Height-adjustable adaptive dampers feature a race-derived twin spring system, spring rates increased by 68 percent front and 25 percent rear
Active exhaust system for reduced backpressure and enhanced sounds
wider 20-inch lightweight forged alloy wheels are designed to maximize brake cooling and are shod with 255/35-20 and 305/30-20 Pirelli Corsa tires
