If you still find yourself coming up a few seconds short per lap in your Jaguar XKR-S (http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/xkr/), the British automaker has introduced the XKR-S GT (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/26/2014-jaguar-xkr-s-gt-takes-fiercest-feline-further/) - a cat specifically tuned for the racing circuit - at the New York Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/new-york-auto-show/).
While Jaguar (http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/) has left the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 unchanged (550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque), it has tuned and tweaked all the items that really make cars go quicker on the track (e.g. suspension, aerodynamics, contact patches, brakes). A once-over reveals upgraded go-fast goodies including a new ventilated hood, extended wheel arch spats, reworked front end with a bespoke front splitter and canards, a massive rear wing, height-adjustable adaptive dampers, active exhaust, carbon-ceramic brakes and sticky Pirelli Corsa tires. Try as we might, the driver in us can't find anything we not to like about this enthusiast-tuned coupe.
Of course all of the upgraded XK (http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/xk/) goodness doesn't come easy, or cheap. Jaguar will limit North American sales to just 30 units and price each at $174,000. Learn all the juicy details in the official press release below.Continue reading 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT claws at the driving enthusiast in us (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/27/2014-jaguar-xkr-s-gt-new-york/)
