The 2003 model year XK benefits from a broad programme of improvements -there are some 900 part number changes - underlining the fact that while its appeal may be timeless, development of this sporting Jaguar has certainly not stood still. Now with a full 400bhp (DIN), the XKR is now even more impressive than the car that has earned the model its reputation. In fact, the 400bhp XKR shares with the latest S-TYPE R sports saloon the distinction of having the most powerful series production engine in Jaguar 's history.
The package of advances over the previous generation XK also encompasses the latest electronic driving aids. Covering areas from handling and braking to 'intelligent 'cruise control, these include Dynamic Stability Control and Emergency Brake Assist as standard across the XK range, and Jaguar's innovative, traffic-sensing ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) as an option.
