404kW Jaguar XJR to debut at New York Auto Show

Jaguar has confirmed that the company’s XJR flagship will be making its debut at the New York Auto Show next week. The newcomer to Jaguar’s performance R line-up boasts a stonking 404kW supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine.

Based on the Jaguar XJ, the XJR rides on a bespoke chassis with uprated aerodynamics. The British marque also promises supercar performance and assertive looks with the highest levels of luxury.

According to Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar: “The new XJR epitomises the three pillars of technology, performance and contemporary design which the Jaguar brand stands for in the twenty-first century, while delivering new levels of dynamic ability in a luxury saloon.”

There are black mesh grille and lower central air intake, lowered ride height and bigger wheels to distinguish the car from its lesser siblings.
