Jaguar Middle East Launch 'XKR Portfolio'
by Nabeel M. Ferzan on Wednesday, 23 July 2008

Jaguar Middle East has expanded their XK line-up in the region with the addition of XKR Portfolio model. The model was first introduced in 2004 and had been exclusive to the US market, but from 2008, Jaguar is making the XKR Portfolio available to its global markets.

Like the XK on which it is based, the super-charged XKR Portfolio is available in both coupe and soft-top convertible body styles. Power is derived from a 4.2-litre V8 putting out 420 horsepower. The top speed is electronically controlled and maxes at 250km/h with 4.9secs to go from a complete stop to 100km/h. One of the main addition to the XKR Portfolio is that of a new high-performance braking system with 400mm front discs and 350mm rear discs – the largest ever fitted to a production Jaguar.

Visually the new sports coupe/convertible can be distinguished from the XKR model by its enhanced front bumper, a red Jaguar 'Heritage' centre badge and aluminium-finish grilles and side power vents. It is available with a Shadow Grey exterior paint finish and 20-inch sparkle finish Selena alloy wheels that is exclusive to the Portfolio model. A blend of luxury and sporting cues such as Rick Oak veneer or Engine Spin Aluminium further differentiate the XKR Portfolio's interior from the XKR. Bowers & Wilkins have tuned a signature speaker system specifically for the XKR Portfolio's cabin.

The XKR portfolio is available through Al Tayer Motors in Dubai from August 2008.
