Fast cats love the cold…
580PS; 680Nm; 0‑60mph in 4.2 seconds; top speed 186mph. 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‑litre 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‑aluminium 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 Hämeenlinna 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.
