The second generation of the XK (the X150) debuted at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, styled by Jaguar's chief designer Ian Callum, with a grille designed to recall the shape of that of the 1961 E-Type, to drive home the fact it was a muscular sports car.
The new model also featured a bonded and riveted aluminium sub-structure, shared with the XJ, and alloy body panels. It was also the first car in the world to feature under-bonnet airbags to improve pedestrian protection.
The XK received a facelift in 2009 with minor alterations to front and rear lights and bumper designs, together with the introduction of a new 5.0-litre V8 for both the naturally aspirated XK and the supercharged XK R.
This one is a facelift car and is the full-fat real deal – a 503bhp supercharged 5.0-litre V8 XKR Coupe, in one of the best colours. It’s a sensational thing, having been owned by the vendor since 2013. NuKGnkFJ0eAmfqboShtdlcUX3EAdsC9Wz8K3wTD8.jpg843.98 KB
