The Appeal
Sleek, smooth, sumptuous and supercharged. That is the second version of Jaguar’s modern XK coupe. All good explanations why these cars are popular for daily drives and weekend wanders.
The XKR really is the one to have, its forced induction boosting power to 400bhp and delivering perfomance to worry supercars. This well specified car, finished in popular black metallic over cream leather, has been looked after and recently serviced.
