2008 Jaguar XF XF Sophisticated instrumentation, a touch-screen, modern materials and graphics complement new “surprise and delight” features. Upon entry to the XF, the start button pulses, like a heartbeat. Start the engine and the JaguarDrive Selector rises into the palm of the hand, while rotating vents turn from their flush, “parked” position to their functional open position. The coupe-like lines of the XF belie the amount of space inside: there is room for five adults in comfort, generous interior stowage and a trunk capacity of 17.6 cu. ft., plus the opportunity to fold down the rear seats and add a further 14.8 cu. ft. |
XKR
2008 Jaguar XKR Changes are modest for 2008 and include four new soft-top colors and a limited-production Portfolio version of the XKR that adds exterior touches, including exclusive 20-inch wheels, and attempts to address complaints by adding some richer materials inside. Jaguar's XKR builds upon the XK with a supercharged version of the 4.2-liter V-8 that makes 420 hp, along with a modified suspension that firms up the ride but sharpens the handling. Other changes include a modified exterior with plasticky mesh grilles, modified fog lights, larger wheels, quad exhaust and dual hood louvers. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard, and Jaguar says the XKR accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds (5.0 seconds for the convertible). |
