Consumers looking for a luxury vehicle that can go from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds should look no further than the 2008 Jaguar XKR Coupe. Its added Eaton supercharger allows the V8 engine to get 420-horse power, making it one of the quickest rides out there. Its six-speed automatic transmission uses Sequential Shift, which lets drivers choose between Drive and Sport transmission modes, offering maximum efficiency regardless of personal preference.

In a car this fast and powerful, protection is needed. Jaguar completes that task with Trac Dynamic Stability Control, which uses anti-lock braking and traction control to improve directional stability when cornering, preventing skidding on the road. Another impressive feature that adds to convenience is the available Adaptive Cruise Control, which monitors for slower traffic ahead, and adjusts braking to maintain distance between the vehicles.

Contributing to the sleek exterior appearance are features including 19-inch Jupiter alloy wheels, quad tailpipes with bright finishers and a body-colored rear spoiler.

Inside, style features include a technical weave aluminum trim, leather seating surfaces and leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob. Jaguar includes in each ‘08 XKR Coupe a message center with 6-zone liquid crystal display, trip computer, analog-style digitized clock and outside temperature indicator.

The XKR Coupe has a rear-parking monitor, which assists the driver in parking by showing a view of behind the vehicle showing objects that might be unseen, one of many feature showing how innovative this model is.

Jaguar’s 2008 XKR Coupe is classy, innovative and reliable, making it likely to be a high-demand vehicle for this year.
