Jaguar´s Sequential Shift™ 6-speed ZF transmission gives seamless control. This state-of-the-art system provides the speed and excitement of a manual shift with the ease of an automatic. Intelligent software allows the gearbox to respond rapidly to changing conditions and the driver´s style.
Choose between Drive, Sport Automatic and Manual modes. For maximum driver involvement, one-touch paddles mounted behind the steering wheel can be used to control gear changes manually and achieve shift speeds that are measured in milliseconds.

XKR-S has the most powerful braking system Jaguar has ever put on a production car – honed by advanced technology, deep understanding, and punishing testing.

Developed with British racing experts Alcon, and brought to production by Jaguar´s Special Vehicles team, it features ventilated 400mm front and 350mm rear discs and light, stiff monobloc six-piston front and four-piston rear callipers to combine astonishing power and feel with Jaguar refinement.

XKR-S is painted in Ultimate Black, sits on unique, lightweight 20" Vortex forged alloy wheels with red Jaguar "Heritage" centre badges and bespoke tyres, and features a unique "XKR-S" badge on the rear of the car.

Ride height has been reduced by 10mm and the exterior features a host of subtle styling cues that make it recognisably different from standard production XKR models. These include a new front aerodynamic splitter, side sill extensions, revised rear spoiler and rear diffuser panel, as well as contrasting finishes to details such as the front mesh grille, side power vents, sills and rear diffuser panel.

The interior environment reflects Jaguar´s vision of the XKR-S as an uncompromisingly luxurious sports car. The soft grain leather trim is finished in Charcoal with Ivory twin-needle contrast stitching, with leather wrapping the seats, instrument panel top, centre console, inner door panels and rear side panels. This is complemented by Piano Black veneer, Charcoal Alston luxury headlining, plus a revised instrument cluster - calibrated to accommodate the higher top speed and featuring XKR-S branding.

A very special interior is completed by the contrast-stitched leather trimmed steering wheel, alloy and leather gear selector with alloy surround, bright aluminium pedals, and XKR-S branded head-restraints, tread-plates and carpet mats.

Taking Jaguar´s 525W Premium Audio system with Pro Logic II surround sound as a starting point, renowned premium British speaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins have tuned a signature speaker system specifically for XKR-S. High output, low distortion Kevlar mid-range speakers and specially designed aluminium-dome tweeters deliver superb mid-range and extended high-frequency responses. They ensure an extraordinarily immersive audio experience.
