Jaguar announced at the New York International Auto Show that exclusively offer U.S. customers a limited-edition XK model to mark the
end of this model’s production during the 2015 model year. The XK Final Fifty limited
edition is based on the 510 hp XKR model and will be limited to 25 coupes and 25
convertibles.
The 2015 XK Final Fifty limited edition commemorates the evolution
of Jaguar grand touring coupes and convertibles that emerged after the E-Type,
starting with the XJS in the 1970s and then the XK8 in the 1990s. All have
combined distinctive 2+2 style and luxury with high power and polished
performance.
These limited edition models will be painted Ultimate Black, with
the Convertible featuring a black top. Styling is enhanced by the louvered hood
from the limited-production XKR-S GT model – a design highlight that was
inspired by the classic E-Type. Inside, all standard XKR luxury is present,
with each of these limited edition models identified by a special badge on the
center console and an inscribed doorsill treadplate.
Performance upgrades are also included in the XK Final Fifty
limited edition, as it will be equipped with both the Dynamic Pack and
Performance Pack that are normally optional for XKR models. The Dynamic Pack
widens the car’s performance envelope.Special side sills, a rear diffuser and
larger rear wing provide the improved aerodynamics needed for Jaguar to provide
a 174 mph limited top track speed capability3, compared to the standard 155 mph
limited top speed3 for the standard XKR.
