550 hp; 502 lb-ft; 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds; top speed 186 mph. These are just
a few of the XKR-S convertible's vital statistics. Powered by the most advanced
version of Jaguar's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, it's the most potent
drop-top Jaguar has ever built and was devised with the intent of providing its
driver with as much roof-down reward on the track as it delivers on the road - a
goal achieved with ease courtesy of its inherently rigid all-aluminum
construction.
But when you've run out of challenging roads and tracks to conquer, where can
the discerning XKR-S driver go next? How about sideways, very sideways, on a
frozen lake in Hameenlinna Finland? Filmed in the expert hands of Jaguar test
driver Minna Sillankorva, the combination of XKR-S convertible, ice-covered lake
and blue skies could clearly only have one outcome: fast, frozen, fun. A
compelling combination.
