Jaguar XKR-S promo released [video]

Jaguar has released a nicely edited video of the new XKR-S following its debut at the Geneva Motor Show last week.

As a celebration piece for the 50th anniversary of the E-type, the XKR-S has a new front bumper, mesh grilles, side skirts, and LED-infused headlights. The NKR-S also has new front fenders, a sporty rear diffuser, and a massive rear wing.

As one of the most powerful Jaguars ever created, the XKR-S uses a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine with 550 PS (405 kW / 542 hp) and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of torque. 0-60 mph takes 4.2 seconds, 0-100 mph in 8.6 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).

Lastly, the XKR-S has a heavily revised suspension and a reprogrammed Adaptive Dynamics system which "allows the enthusiastic driver to explore the edges of the handling envelope."

I'm sure it's a fun car, but I think the aero's a little overdone...
