Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded/ riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by either a 4. 2 litre V8 or 5. 0 litre engine, both in supercharged or naturally aspirated form, the standard-fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to change by steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. A rival to the Porsche 911 (997) and Mercedes-Benz SL (R230), the Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54, 000 had been sold (compared to 212, 704 Porsche 997s and 169, 443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).
