New performance and styling packs for Jaguar XKR

Jaguar will showcase two new optional performance and styling packs at the Geneva Motor Show.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speed Pack
The XKR Coupe with new optional Speed Pack allows customers to further strengthen their XKR�s already impressive breadth of capability, by extending the car�s top speed from 250km/h to an electronically limited 280km/h thanks to a unique engine and transmission recalibration.

To ensure the XKR with Speed Pack remains stable at high speeds, the coupe uses a revised front aerodynamic splitter and larger rear spoiler to provide increased balance and a reduction in lift. The XKR�s computerised Active Differential Control also adjusts to reduce steering sensitivity at very high speeds, further improving stability and driver control.

Every XKR with the Speed Pack will come with body-coloured side sills and rear diffuser, and a chrome finish to the window surrounds, upper and lower mesh grilles, side Power Vents and boot lid finisher. Red brake callipers with a Jaguar �R� logo sit inside 20-inch Kasuga alloy wheels.

Customers who order the XKR Coupe with the Speed Pack will be offered a paint palette that is part of the Jaguar Designers� Choice programme.

Black Pack
Available only with the Speed Pack, XKRs fitted with the Black Pack have a paint palette selected from colours that Jaguar�s Design team believe to be ideal for creating a coupe with immediate exclusivity. The Black Pack models will be available in Ultimate Black, Polaris White or Salsa Red and boast eye-catching 20-inch gloss black Kalimnos alloy wheels.

Further gloss black finishing is applied to the window surrounds and front grilles. Red painted brake callipers contrast strongly with the black alloy wheels, while body coloured front and rear spoilers and boot lid finisher round out the package. Customers also have the option to apply a sweeping �XKR� side body graphic that runs along the door sills.

In addition to the Black Pack�s exterior changes, the Jaguar Designers� Choice programme has also selected a range of interior trims that support the visual impact of the car. All XKRs with the Black Pack will be trimmed with Charcoal leather hides that can be personalised with a range of colour stitching and grain. Three interior finishes and veneers for the fascia and door trims are also available � Dark Oak, Dark Mes Aluminium and Piano Black.
