  • 2010 Jaguar Goodwood Special XKR

         by Aman Chaudhry

    The Jaguar XKR Goodwood concept is not just making news these days, it’s making BIG news. According to jaguar, this XKR Goodwood Special (Yes, the green car in the pictures) has managed to lap the Nurburgring in 7 minutes 58 seconds.

    “This is definitely not a level of performance anyone would have associated with the XKR before now,” Jaguar boss Mike O’Driscoll told the aforementioned source, describing the car’s Nurburgring achievement.  Jaguar goes on to confirm that a more ferocious version of the XKR will go into production later this year.

    No further details about the car have been revealed yet, but we can tell you that that its top speed will be in the 186 mph range making this monster straight in the 300 km/h car bracket.

    As we know that the car is based on the concept, the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 along with a little bit of tweaking delivered 530 horsepower and 515 pound-feet of torque.

    We are guessing that an increase of about 13 hp and 55 lb-ft could be offered on the standard XKR. The 0 to 62 mph distance was covered in 4.6 seconds and this Goodwood Special comes with 21-inch alloy rims, a lowered suspension and a modified exhaust system.
