The Jaguar XKR Coupe alongside with its convertible sibling will be getting an upgrade to be released as a 2011 model. The fast car will be faster and stepping uphe game from 155 mph to 174mph. The design lines are also being reconsidered to give it a more aggressive look.
The line up of the 2011 Jaguar XKR will be rolling off dealerships later this year but the XKR Coupe will be on display at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show this coming March. Tagging along with the new XKR, the carmaker will also showcase optional styling and performance packs in the form of the Black Pack and the Speed Pack. These options will be made available for both the 2011 XKR and XK models to give buyers some personalization experience.
The XKR Coupe that will be on spotlight during next month’s auto show will combine the options for both Black and Speed Packs to give the car a very bold image. It will don red brake calipers and sports classy veneers in piano black.
The XKR Coupe option of installing a Speed Pack will allow drivers to boost their top speed to 174 mph via engine and transmission calibration. The adjustment from a top speed of 155 mph will come with some aerodynamic add-ons like a rear spoiler and front splitter to make the faster car more stable. The steering sensitivity for high speed driving will also be improved by adjusting the Active Differential Control.
