Special models at the end of production of a vehicle are not uncommon. Jaguar wants to point out the origins of the sports car with the limited special edition of the XK - and not just in terms of color.
At the end of production of the Jaguar XK, the traditional British brand is launching a special model: The limited edition of 66 copies of the sports car - called the XK66 - is intended to refer to the 66-year tradition of the series. It is painted and specially equipped in the colors "British Racing Green" and "Stratus" (anthracite) used in the original model from 1948. Prices start at 99,380 euros for the coupé and 107,580 euros for the convertible.
Jaguar XK will make way for the summer
The basis for the special model is the XK portfolio with the 283 kW / 385 hp 5.0-liter V8. Light brown or gray leather is available for the interior. The interior is adorned with walnut root wood and surfaces in polished chrome. Externally, the edition model can also be recognized by its special 20-inch alloy wheels. Adaptive headlights and a reversing camera are included ex works.
The first XK was presented at the London Motor Show in 1948. Since 2006 Jaguar has sold almost 60,000 units of the XK series X150 worldwide, 6000 of them in Germany. The sporty 2 + 2-seater will probably make room for new models from summer, such as the new mid-range model XE and a Jaguar SUV.
The significantly smaller F-Type Coupé and Cabrio now take the place of the 2 + 2-seater at the top of the British portfolio. A successor to the XK is possible, but currently has a low priority, according to media reports. (SP-X)
