Description
When the first Jaguar XK8 (project X100) was introduced back in 1996, it brought about brand new standards to the luxury sports car market. Available as either a coupe or convertible, it far exceeded its sales expectations and rapidly became the fastest selling sports car in Jaguars history and in doing so won numerous awards around the world.
The summer of 2002 saw a major update for the XK range, the engines were enlarged to 4. 2 litres, the XK8 now generating 300bhp which propelled the car from 0-60 mph in just 6. 4 secs and onto a top speed of 155 mph. Jaguar also revised the front end with the addition of Xenon clear lens headlamps.
