2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT Start Up, Test Drive, and In Depth Review

2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT Start Up, Test Drive, and In Depth Review

The GT’s supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 is rated at 550 horsepower at 6500 rpm, and it produces 502 lb-ft of torque from 2500 rpm—identical levels of output as the mill found in the standard XKR-S. Jaguar promises a 0-to-60 sprint in 3.9 seconds, a conservative claim that we believe can easily be beaten. Top speed, somewhat curiously for a track special, is governed at 186 mph. But at that velocity, the XKR-S GT generates 320 pounds of downforce, and it probably wouldn’t go much beyond this marker anyway.
