Jaguar XKR175: First Pictures From Jag's Pebble Beach Debut
One of the celebrated marques at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is luxurious British automaker Jaguar. With 75 years of history, Jag decided to celebrate the occasion with the limited edition XKR175. As the name suggests, just 175 versions of the luxury coupe will be built for the U.S. market – with an additional 15 being produced for Canada.
Based on the European Speed Pack model, the XKR175 makes 510-hp and 461 ft-lbs of torque from a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine. It also gets a special aero kit, larger 20-inch wheels and tires, not to mention some plus-sized brakes.
All models will come in Ultimate Black paint with a Warm Charcoal interior with Cranberry stitching and Piano Black wood accents. Plus, there are the obligatory “XKR175 – x of 175″ door sill plates.
Pricing for this collectors item is set at $104,500 (including destination charge).
