"What a device is the XKR-S. But not as hardcore as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS that is. "The quote from our driving impression with the Jaguar XKR-S is exactly the reason for the test run of the smurf blue XKR-S on the famous Ring. Also found the Jaguar XKR-S is not hardcore enough and wants a special variant --compete with the real thoroughbreds in the segment. We called the 911 GT3 RS already, but there is, for example, the Audi R8 GT, Ferrari 458 and Lamborghini Gallardo in Italia. Spicy!
That the current Jaguar XKR-S is not sharp enough to know before the British manufacturer and test therefore extended with a different setup. This includes a modified front bumper with aerodynamic fins, double rear spoiler and extra cooling vents in the hood. The latter is an immediate clue to more power, because why would you want an optimized airflow? We guess that the standard output of 550 horsepower increased to just less than 600 hp. enough to compete with its rivals.
Other change which speculation remains is the lack of a backseat. That could indicate weight or placement of special racing seats. We also see a roll cage in the Brit, but whether this equipment is part of the implementation remains to be seen. Many of the models tested on the Ring have such a feature from a safety standpoint.
