Our test of an XKR Convertible revealed a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds, with the coupe being truly a few ticks quicker. The typical Jaguar XK is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 that generates 300 hp and 310 pound-feet of torque. The XKR includes a supercharged version of the same engine puffed up to produce 420 hp and 412 lb-ft of torque. In testing, we hustled the coupe up from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, whilst the convertible did the sprint in 6.3 seconds. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control.

The convertible’s soft top does an excellent job of noise insulation when up, and it disappears underneath a difficult tonneau cover in just 18 seconds with the push of a button. The XK coupe’s trunk can hold about 11 cubic feet of cargo. With the most truly effective down, the XK convertible can still hold 8 cubic feet. On the other hand, the XK is a lot more accommodating compared to the old XK8, though the two-position rear seat remains suitable only for small children or emergency use.
