Jaguar is considering offering track-focused accessory upgrades for its flagship 542bhp Jaguar XKR-S.
This test mule has been snapped lapping the Nürburgring while equipped with an elegant race-look rear wing and a set of four aero ‘whiskers’ fitted in pairs to each corner of the front valence.
According to a Jaguar source the parts are non-production, but are being assessed by engineers.
"This does not signal intent for them to appear on a production car," confirmed the insider.
If this wasn't a Jaguar would the tacked-on rear wing be called elegant? I suspect not.
Elegant my backside, its hideous, Jaguars should not look like they have crashed into a Halfords parts warehouse, it looks a bit cheap and tacky..
....but aren't they nasty?
looks like a full-on N24 racer to me. Check out the big brakes as well - they don't look very "road".
If this is a limited special, wonder what they'll charge for it? I reckon well over £100k, which takes it into some very capable competition.
when the current XK came out it was very elegant, and with each alteration they make it worse. Do we need a Jag with these add ons. I dont. its not as if the base model is slow (5.0 V8 afterall).
I wish Jaguar would return to making truely beautiful cars, and forget track times, and faux racing add ons
This car is a bit of a mess aesthetically, the Maserati Gran Turismo shows the right way.
I love the XKR but this is not the way to go. It's almost as if Jaguar have commissioned a few prepubescent boys to give the car some Fast & Furious attitude. Get back to designing great looking machines Jaguar and leave this tacky stuff to Halfords or Kahn
I like this a lot. Its clearly function over form and that's fine!
Jaguar are moving in the right direction so well done!!
Is get back to basics, and throw the 3.0 diesel engine into the XK, price it right and watch it sell.
