The redesigned XK or X150 model first debuted in 2005 at the Frankfurt motor show in Germany and was styled by jaguar's chief designer Ian Callum. The XK combined extreme performance, renowned luxury and relevant technology, intuitively expressed to connect the driver to the car and the car to the road. World-class technology is empowering but at the same time never overpowers the driving experience and this successful recipe have now meant that this model has acquired a new status, of a credible modern-day classic jaguar, due to the last cars offered in the July of 2014 and the sad end of the XK brand. Prior to the production end, the factory offered us the fabulous jaguar XK Dynamic R model, with the all-aluminium sculptured body to house a Five litre V8 Supercharged monster that generated a rather healthy 503 bhp, which was more than capable of accelerating both the driver and passengers from 0-62 mph in just 4.6 seconds, with the dynamic model having fitted from the factory with the jaguar speed package that would elegantly glide to a top speed of 174 mph. The Dynamic R came with extensive revisions to the suspension including a forged and fully machined front knuckle for improved steering precision, bespoke spring and damper settings and revised adaptive dynamics, all of which made this refined luxury coupe a full-bodied performance vehicle that delighted new and old clients to this prestigious car brand.
