Jaguar offers its British customers a special edition version of its successful
XJR Portfolio sedan. The supercharged vehicle sports a 400 bhp, 4.2-liter V8 engine mated with a six-speed
ZF automatic gearbox, that governs its 408 lb-ft of torque reached at 3,500 rpm, and features such exterior design cues as sculpted polished aluminum side power vents, bright mesh grille, chrome-finished exhaust system, polished 20-inch
Callisto wheels and
Midnight black exterior paint. There will be only one hundred of them.
Posted by: nektotigra on 18/07/06 From a driver's point of view, the new
Jaguar XJR Portfolio Special Edition seems to be an excellent blend of visual style and driving pleasure. It accelerates from zero to sixty in 5.0 seconds and achieves a maximum speed of 155 mph, which is electronically limited. The sedan comes with
Jaguar's
CATS system, which continuously adjusts the car’s damping characteristics, from firm to soft in milliseconds, to suit the driving conditions, optimizing both ride and handling.
XJR's braking system sports ventilated front discs and four-piston aluminum monobloc calipers plus four-channel ABS anti-lock brakes and
EBA. Electronic Traction Control and
DSC are also standard.
The
Jaguar XJR Portfolio Special Edition will go on sale in September 2006 at a price of £62,040.
