Jaguar XK Auto
| RHDThe Jaguar XK was first introduced in Geneva Motor Show on March 5th 1996. It is the replacement of the XJS, and is available as a coupé and convertible. Currently in its second generation, the XK8 was the first 8 cylinder vehicle produced by Jaguar, when the Jaguar AJ-V8 engine was introduced. In the opposite manner to the way convertibles are traditionally designed, the coupé is based on the convertible. This meant that the engineers could design the convertible without the drawbacks of the car looking like, and actually being, a coupé with the top chopped off. It also meant that minimal additional weight was required to maintain the structural rigidity lost with the removal of the roof (1,635 kg (3,600 lb) curb weight for the convertible versus 1,595 kg (3,520 lb) for the coupé).[3] This makes the XK convertible exceptionally rigid and lightweight for a car of its type, offering an extremely impressive driving experience. The XK features an advanced paddleshift gearbox that enables the driver to either use it as one would a standard automatic gearbox, or an automatic gearbox featuring faster shifts by using the sport mode. Alternatively, the driver can take full manual control of the gears by means of two paddles situated behind the steering wheel, affording the driver optimum control in fast driving.
