Taking its performance to a new level, Jaguar has engineered the stunning 2007 Jaguar XKR to exceed the high demands that consumers rightly expect from a supercharged Jaguar sports car.

"The 2007 Jaguar XKR Coupe and Convertible are sensational cars to drive that define the road," says Mike O'Driscoll, president of Aston Martin Jaguar Land Rover. "With a 420bhp supercharged AJ-V8 engine under its hood, the 2007 Jaguar XKR provides those who have an affinity for power and luxury with the combination of exhilaration and refinement."

An available Luxury Package offers soft-grain leather, leather-trimmed instrument panel and 16-way power seats with adjustable bolsters.
