2007 Jaguar XK-Series XKR Convertible

Jaguar has completely redesigned the XK series for the 2007 model year, signifying the end of the ten-year-long first generation.  The new XK is the work of Ian Callum, who also designed the Aston Martin DB7 and Vanquish.  Callum has added some hints of the 1961 Jaguar E-Type, most visible on the front fascia.  An all-aluminum body construction and stretched wheelbase are also new for this year.
The XKR Convertible offers seating for four, but the rear seats are not suited for adult comfort.  The extra interior room created by a longer wheelbase will only be enjoyed by front passengers.  The anticipated Jaguar amenities are all inside: leather heated seats, walnut or poplar wood inlays, DVD navigation system, premium Alpine sound system with an in-dash six CD changer, keyless start, and every power feature imaginable.  
The R-Style models are set apart from the other XKs by performance and sport-appearance enhancements.  The R adds 19 inch wheels, a special mesh grille, 'Supercharger' badges, quad exhaust, and upgraded headlights.  The 4.2 liter V-8 is fitted with a top mounted supercharger, which boosts horsepower from 300 to 420.  The adaptive suspension and steering have also been retuned.  The XKRs will make 0 to 60 in just under five seconds, while offering shockingly efficient 17/25 mpg fuel economy.
The R-Style upgrade adds about $15000 to the price of the XK, and a well equipped XKR Convertible brings that prestigious sixth figure into the MSRP.
