It wasn’t that long ago when, in the middle of their brand reinvention, Jaguar released the refreshed XKR sports car at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. A year after the new XKR made its debut to the public, Jaguar is headed back to Geneva with another XKR model. Only this time, it’s the hot-as-a-scorching-summer’s-day XKR-S.
The new XKR-S features exclusive new paint colors that reflect Jaguar?s racing heritage. As with competition Jaguar cars of the past, the exterior of the XKR-S adheres to the principle of form following function.
Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar?s new Global Brand Director, describes the car as a "bold and exciting new model for Jaguar". He adds: "The styling of this car isn?t about image, it?s about true performance. Like other iconic Jaguar cars before it, the styling has been driven by geometry and aerodynamics for genuine design purity."
UPDATE 03/07/2011: Jaguar has revealed a very cool video for the latest addition to their line-up: the XKR-S. In this video, you will be able to see the new sports car driving around and, most importantly, hear the engine’s beautiful music! Enjoy the video, it’s surely worth a watch!
UPDATE 03/14/2011: A new online configurator is up and running for Jaguar’s latest and impressive model. According to the configurator, Jaguar will offer four exterior colors and not two as previously believed. These colors are Stratus Grey Metallic, Ultimate Black Metallic, Italian Racing Red, and French Racing Blue. However, no matter what color you choose, the XKR-S is still kickass!
Details on the Jaguar XKR-S after the jump.
