The Jaguar XK series (XK8 and XKR) is a grand tourer produced from 1996 to 2006. The car was introduced in Geneva Motor Show on 5 March 1996. It is the replacement of the XJS, and was available as a coupé and convertible. The XK8 was the first 8 cylinder vehicle produced by Jaguar, when the Jaguar AJ-V8 engine was introduced. The 1997 XK8 (project code X100) was available with either a supercharged or naturally aspirated 290 horsepower 4.0 litre AJ26 engine. From 2003 the engines were replaced by the 4.2 litre AJ34 engines in both the normally aspirated and supercharged versions. The supercharged variant is known as the XKR. The first-generation XK series shares its platform with the Aston Martin DB7. Both cars are derived from the Jaguar XJS, though the platform has been extensively changed. One of the revisions is the use of the second generation of Jaguar's IRS unit, taken from the XJ40. The car's aerodynamic design gives it a drag co-efficient of 0.35 for the XK8 coupe and 0.36 for the XK8 convertible.
This exceptional example has a known history from new with all books and records. Finished in an exciting and desirable color combination with wire wheels, this car is just the thing for summer top down cruising. With their Retro looks reminiscent of the legendary XKE, the XK8 is a sure bet for increased value as the years pass.
