Over the past several years we’ve seen Jaguar gradually unleash the beast that we’ve always known it had in the form of expanded application of its high-performance R-line.  Now, though, Jag is taking it to the next level, even past its ferocious XKR-S, with the XKR-S GT.  Yeah, baby.  Aesthetically the new cat is taken to racier new heights than its closest internal competitor, the XKR-S.  The most notable new aesthetic features include a large rear spoiler, additional hood louvres, a gaping, blacked out grille, razoe sharp teeth in the form of re-designed dive planes, and a set of beautiful, Shelby Mustange-esque rims.  Inside you’ll find the same 550 horsepower, 502 lb-ft from the XKR-S but with a laundry list of other tuning adjustments.  Tuned items include upgraded front and rear suspension geometry, larger carbon ceramic brakes all around, wider 20-inch forged alloy wheels, a revised active exhaust system, and a faster steering rack has been added for improved agility.  This ferocious feline will soon be revealed at the N.Y. Auto Show so stay tuned for more updates from us!
