Jaguar XKR Portfolio


Jaguar has brought to Geneva special edition of XKR, called XKR Portfolio. The name of the car hints at its bright appearance. And indeed, appearance of Jaguar is dandified - the sated black color with sparks of dark blue, aluminium fringings of air inlet cuts and 20" disks do their effective business in a right way.
Certainly, to emphasize the car, experts of the British brand had to give the most steadfast attention to interior. The best and more expensive were used to decorate it.
From functional additions XKR Portfolio gains from a multimedia LCD-monitor, displaying the basic information concerning to work conditions of the most important car's equipmentfor.
The value of audio-system Dolby Pro Logic II surround, humouring hearing of passengers with 525-watt sound, is impossible to underestimate. It was developed by Bower&Wilkes company, specially for Jaguar. Besides essential devices interior of XKR equipped with a lot of trifles, addressed to vanity of the owner, for example, tablets with Portfolio inscriptions or mats with trade marks of the manufacturer.
There is a brand new engine under a bonnet of the English handsome man, with which Jaguar is planning to equip restored XJ and XF series. Buyers haven't seen this engine yet, but engineers from the islands are very proud of it, probably, not vainly - 4.2-liter V8 makes 420 h.p. With such a power stuffing XKR Portfolio speeds up to 100 km/h for only 4.9 seconds and the maximal speed is limited to 250 km/h by uncompromising electronics.
So, Jaguar XKR Portfolio is a classical example of the big English coupe.
