First Look: 2012 Jaguar XKR-S

Jaguar is amping up the already spicy XKR with a new XKR-S model for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 jumps from 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque to a massive 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. That means 60 miles per hour arrives in 4.2 seconds as opposed to the standard XKR’s 4.6-second sprint. Top speed is up from 155 miles per hour to 186 miles per hour.
