Product Overview

Jaguar XK X150 is a grand tourer in production from 2006 to 2014. It was available with a range of V8 engines that displaced 4.2 to 5.0 liters.
Launched as an evolution of the X100 XK, the X150 had essentially the same drivetrain and suspension setup, though the body shells were thoroughly revised.
Two years into the production run, Jaguar introduced a new 5.0L V8 engine and made several output levels on it, including the supercharged XKR and the high-output supercharged XKR-S.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Jaguar XK comes with double-wishbone suspensions at all four corners. This provides the good cornering performance and durability.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The Jaguar XKR Coupe is an incredibly fast and fun car to drive thanks to its charismatic supercharged V8 and sporty handling. It's more involving than a Mercedes SL63 AMG and a BMW M6 – and has more class than both. Yet it is civilised too with a comfortable ride and sumptuous interior.
Pros
  • Powerful V8
  • Fun to drive
  • Lots of standard equipment
Cons
  • Expensive to run
  • Alternatives are more fun to drive
