Featuring revised design cues and new optional packages that emphasize luxury and personality, the new XK lineup looks sexier than ever. Right next to the updated XK was the flagship XKR-S, which boasts a 5.0L Supercharged AJ-V8 good for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. The result is, as near as makes no difference, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. To further separate the XK-RS from the standard XK, the RS receives dramatic bodywork that also aids in performance cutting weight.
