The supercharged Injection 32-valve 5.0-litre 2011 Jaguar XKR is available in either coupe or convertible form, finished in ‘Anthracite’ paintwork, plus a black hood for the convertibles. The 2011 Jaguar XKR cars share much of the sophisticated mechanical specification of the Jaguar XJR , including a 20 inch version of the eye-catching R Performance ‘Montreal’ BBS alloy wheel, adding to the powerful sporting presence. This is further emphasised by Brembo brakes, red Jaguar ‘growler’ wheel centres, wire mesh grilles and the bonnet louvres. An exclusive red, black and silver Jaguar XKR bonnet badge delivers the finishing exterior touch. The 2011 Jaguar XKR interior showcases an array of new, R Performance aluminium trim details, which add a distinctly sporting look and contrast with the ‘Warm Charcoal’ leather. The aluminium is used for the pedals, door handles, instrument dial rims, the surround for the automatic shift J-gate and gear knob ferule. The steering wheel and Momo gear knob are leather covered, and each carries the R Performance logo.
