A Jaguar XKR's a mean thing in the right hands, as this Russian hipster kid finds out in this horrifying (for him) test drive. You almost have to watch this video twice; once to see the kid in the ironic CCCP shirt freaking out/almost barfing; once to see just how calm the driver is. More »

Jaguar is celebrating its 75th anniversary with the Jaguar XKR 75. The limited-edition kitty features a 530-hp, 483 lb-ft supercharged V-8; recalibrated adaptive suspension; carbon-fiber aero bits, red calipers, special alloy wheels, and a set of distinctive stripes. More »

Sometimes we wish we were other people. Today, it'd be Evo's Chris Harris, who got to flog an Audi R8 Spyder, Porsche 911 Turbo and a Jaguar XKR around a track and tell you which one he hearts the most. More »

The Jaguar XKR still looks pretty good, but holy crap does it look even better in matte gray paint with black wheels. This one was parked outside last night's Jay-Z/XJR event, outclassing the boxy Jag sedan inside. More »

When we reviewed the 2008 XKR we took issue with its handling, interior and gearbox. The 2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible adds little more than a new, 510 HP engine, but that's our kind of a band-aid. More »

In the spirit of reverse imperialism, the now Indian-owned Jaguar is bringing a GT2 spec Jaguar XKR with RSR for the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta this weekend. More »

Jaguar revealed their Goodwood special edition XKR yesterday at the annual Festival of Speed. The limited edition pussy-cat gets an extra 20 horses under the bonnet, bringing this envious-looking little kitty up to 530 HP. More »

The 2010 Jaguar XKR gets a head to toe technical makeover, with new electronically controlled dampers and a much more powerful engine. But it still looks basically the same. That's good. More »

The leaks are comin' fast and furious tonight. Details and photos of the 2010 Jaguar XKR have leaked ahead of the Detroit Auto Show. Here's the scoop on Jag’s new 510 HP grand tourer. More »

The Jaguar XKR is undeniably a sexy beast of a car. That being said, adding an "S" to the end of the name, tweaking the suspension and tires, and futzing with the nose styling apparently doesn't add up to a car fast enough to justify US sales. Jag USA has decided the S model, having the same 175 MPH top speed and same acceleration to 60 as its non-S brother — at a higher price — is best left on foreign shores. We'd be lying if we said we were heartbroken over this, but we hear there's a 5.0 liter, 500 HP XKR on the way, so, we'll take one of those instead. [AutoWeek] More »

The folks over at Autogespot happened upon a not-so-regular Jaguar XK with factory plates running around town and they're not sure what it is. Could this be the mysterious Jaguar XKR-R that apparently showed up at the 'Ring a year ago and then disappeared? The XKR-R was supposed to get a 500-horsepower version of the V8 and other super-luxo-car upgrades. Now that there's no pressure to avoid encroaching on Aston, could the super sporty Jaguar XKR-R become a reality? Only time or a loose-lipped executive will tell. More »

We've sort of been torn with regards to the look of the latest generation Jaguar XK. On the one hand, those big eyes make it look like a surprised child ("We got bought by Tata, WHAT?). On the other hand, there are some fine lines that pop better in person (for more on that check out our review of the 2009 Jaguar XKR). Though not a massive change, this mid-cycle refresh caught by the KGP crew shows some obvious changes including a new front bumper with air-inlets just below the headlights and revised taillights. Other than the rumored XK diesel, there shouldn't be any major powertrain changes. With the company now under Indian ownership we'll be interested to see what they do with the company's performance flagship. Spy report below the jump. More »

Despite the ongoing shenanigans between Ford and TATA over the sale of Jaguar and Land Rover, there are whispers emerging about the possible revival of the venerable Jaguar E-Type. Australia's Courier Mail is reporting Jag honchos are considering the revival of what many consider the most beautiful production car to have ever been built. This news has us torn. While we absolutely love the E-Type, so much so that it holds a position in the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage, we think on Jags history of reviving legendary marques and wonder if this is this a good idea.

The 2008 Jaguar XKR is a fast car. With the added 'R,' the hood louvers inscribed with "Supercharged" and the aggressive body work, however, that probably goes without saying. Those visual cues hint at the added performance. Power is up from 300bhp in the non-R version to 420. It makes 413lb/ft of torque. Why, then, isn't it good for driving fast? More »

The 2008 Jaguar XKR is good at pushing buttons. I had looked forward to driving it, having grown progressively bored with a succession of SUVs, economy rides and lackluster sports cars during these past few months. I was in sore need of something lithe and European. On that, the XKR delivered. More »
