Jaguar XKR

Completely new model XK8 appeared at the Geneva motor show, Switzerland, in 1996, which were presented to the version with a body of type В«coupeВ» and with opening horse riding, with the new easy-V-neck-cylinders engine of alloys, the 4-liter. In 1997 the new Jaguar XJR with a body of type В«sedanВ», which used a supercharged with the same V-shaped-cylinders engine, worked just incredibly, which eclipsed the motor sport model HK8. In the model of 1998 established a V-shaped eight-cylinder engine, she had the body of type В«coupeВ» and has received the name of the XKR. While the XKR used the same chassis as the HK8, it was perekalibrovana suspension with computer adjustable damping. The V-shaped eight-cylinder engine with four shafts was all made of alloys and was the slight V-neck-cylinders engine in its class. Also used sophisticated modern technology with variable moment of the opening and closing of the valve. Supercharger M112 Eaton gave to 28 per cent more power, and in order to cope with it, in the model of the XKR there were 305 mm ventilated brake disks on all four wheels and friction brake pads. Gearbox was with Mercedes-Benz, to cope with the increased torque.
