At the 2001 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas Ford presented the XKR-R Performance Protoype -- Perhaps the ultimate expression of Jaguar's top-of-the-line sports coupe. The XKR-R is motivated by a supercharged V-8 engine boosted to over 400 horsepower. Acceleration is staggering, with a 0 - 60 mph times recorded at 4.6 seconds. Not a single component escaped Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations team's attention in the metamorphosis from stock XKR to the unique XKR-R, from the shape of the front bumper to the quad-outlet exhaust. Besides the power upgrades, other modifications include an eight-point roll-bar, a modified rear suspension, a lowered suspension, Brembo brakes, Recaro racing bucket seats, and finally a Tremac T56 6-speed transmission.
