Jaguar’s XKR-S Convertible at Los Angeles Auto Show

Jaguar has unveiled the XKR-S in a brand new form: as a convertible. They were also generous enough to bring these photos to light before the Los Angeles Auto Show, where the car will have its official debut. The drop-top is actually the fastest and most powerful ever from Jaguar: the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 (the same that powers the coupe) flaunts 550 hp, and the 0-60 mph sprint is completed in just 4.2 seconds.

Exterior modifications include a new front bumper with a carbon fiber splitter, and a wider and lower air intake. The rear received a new wing with carbon fiber touches, and a rear apron with carbon fiber diffuser. The interior too received some attention, with its most alluring features including the performance seats and the carbon leather trims.
