Official: 2011 Jaguar XKR Black and Speed Editions

**Stieben** · 02-18-2010, 01:06 PM

Jaguar has revealed two new styling packages for the 2011 Jaguar XKR. The Speed Pack and the Black Pack are accompanied by a optional performance package. The new versions are powered by the same 5.0 liter V8 engine and will be officially unveiled during the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

The 2011 Jaguar XKR Coupe shown at the event will have both the optional Speed and Black pack to create a bold new model, which also sports optional Piano Black veneers on the dashboard and red brake callipers.

The new optional Speed Pack extends the car’s top speed from 155mph (250km/h) to an electronically limited 174mph (280km/h) thanks to engine and transmission recalibration. To ensure the 2011 Jaguar XKR with Speed Pack remains stable at high speeds, the coupe uses a revised front aerodynamic splitter and larger rear spoiler to provide increased balance and a reduction in lift. The XKR’s computerised Active Differential Control also adjusts to reduce steering sensitivity at very high speeds, further improving stability and driver control.
