Our latest spy shots reveal the facelifted Jaguar XKR testing near the company’s engineering HQ at Gaydon, ahead of its debut at the Paris show in September. The subtly revised XKR is due to go on sale early in 2009, getting a new front bumper and revised air intakes positioned below the headlights.

The rear bumper has also been redesigned and the car now gets LED taillights, which should give the rear of the car a far more modern look at night. Best of all, this facelifted XKR is sporting a new, modern ‘shark fin’ antenna for satnav and radio: forever banishing the old-school retractable aerial found on the original.

The facelifted XKR is likely to get Jaguar’s new direct injection 5.0-litre V8 engine when it goes on sale.
