2010–2011 Jaguar XK XKR 175 Specs & Performance

The XKR 175 was created as a special celebration of Jaguar’s performance heritage, giving the X150 a more exclusive and harder-edged interpretation of the familiar XK shape. Its restrained grand-tourer silhouette remained elegant, but the limited-edition treatment and uprated supercharged engine gave this version a more purposeful identity. Rather than abandoning the XK’s long-distance character, Jaguar sharpened it into a faster, more distinctive coupé that could combine luxury touring with genuinely serious pace.

For 2010–2011, the XKR 175 uses a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 producing 503 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission drives the rear wheels, taking the coupé from 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds and on to a 174-mph top speed. Those figures put the XKR 175 well beyond the ordinary XK range while retaining the smooth, effortless delivery expected from Jaguar’s flagship GT.
