Every Jaguar XK
represents a compelling combination of advanced engineering and
cosseting luxury, yet the latest additions to the evolving range -
the XK and XKR Special Edition models - further enhance that luxury
quality through the introduction of hand-crafted 'Artisan'
interiors.
Available in both coupe and convertible form*, the Special Edition
model's Artisan interior introduces the use of tactile 'scraffito'
finished leather to the front seats, instrument binnacle, door and
rear quarter casings. In combination with Poltrona Frau® leather
headlinings, two new veneer finishes - Shadow Walnut and Dark
Figured Aluminium - and standard features including a 525W Bowers &
Wilkins sound system, 16 by 16 way adjustable heated Performance
seats, a heated steering wheel and keyless entry/start, each Special
Edition model promises a heightened level of opulence and comfort.
To compliment the sumptuous use of materials, Jaguar's design team,
led by Director of Design Ian Callum, specified two exclusive
Artisan interior colourways for the Special Edition models; Navy
with Jet headlining and Truffle with Canvas headlining. Convertible
hood colours have also been carefully selected and include Black,
Blue, Grey and Brown. Special Edition treadplates and stainless
steel pedals are additional discreet enhancements.
An exterior paint palette of six colours includes the exclusive
Special Edition colour of Celestial Black, with Crystal Blue, Lunar
Grey, Polaris White, Rhodium Silver and Ultimate Black being the
alternative options. Two new 20-inch alloy wheel designs complete
the exterior changes; Venom wheels are diamond turned with a dark
grey finish, the Orona style having a polished finish.
XK: an advanced choice
Whether in coupe or
convertible form, each Special Edition model benefits from the
advanced engineering techniques inherent to the entire Jaguar XK and
XKR range. Jaguar is industry-leading in its use of aluminium
technology, and both coupe and
convertible models utilise riveted and bonded aluminium monocoque
construction that means light weight, exceptional rigidity and
strength. In combination with continuously variable adaptive damping
- standard on all models - and 5.0-litre direct-injection V8 petrol
engines in either 385PS naturally-aspirated or, for the XKR, 510PS
supercharged form, the result is a beautifully damped yet controlled
ride, precise handling, and effortless performance when required.
For an even more focused driving experience, for the 2013 Model Year
all standard XKR convertible and coupe models are now available with
the optional Dynamic Pack (previously offered on the XKR coupe
only). The Dynamic Pack raises top speed to 174mph, and includes the
addition of side sill extensions with new rear diffuser, 10mm lower
ride height, revised adaptive dynamics, spring and damper rates,
plus a new front steering knuckle for optimised precision.
*XK/XKR Special Edition variability varies by market. The Special
Edition models are not available in the North American market
• Both XK and XKR
models use Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system which continuously
monitors the suspension and, courtesy of active dampers, can
alter damping rates up to 500 times a second to ensure optimal
stability and handling with no loss of comfort. A driver
selected 'Dynamic' mode works with the Adaptive Dynamics system
to further increase body control while also sharpening throttle
and gearshift responses.
• The XKR additionally features Jaguar's
electronically-controlled active differential to maximise
traction in all conditions.
• Six-speed automatic transmissions also offer manual driver
control via steering-wheel mounted paddles.
• A seven-inch touch-screen is standard on all models and offers
control of the navigation system and a range of other features.
• Advanced safety features include Jaguar's Adaptive Restraint
Technology System - which helps ensure maximum driver and
passenger protection - and an innovative
Pedestrian Contact Sensing System which raises the bonnet in the
event of contact with a pedestrian to help prevent contact with
hard points under the bonnet. Adaptive Front Lighting and
Adaptive Cruise Control are additional optional features that
enhance safety.
