Description : Jaguar has made a big appearance again at every Geneva Motor Show a few years iin the new model is set to push his machine to a faster speed. Last year, one of the most impressive models launched in the market is the Jaguar XKR-S the new, and now the Jaguars return to Geneva with a topless version of the same RS model.

   An insider revealed to AutoExpress that the Jaguar XK soft-top will also get the RS badge. Apparently, "the car was designed as a convertible", so the company will not actually need to add extra strengthening to cope with 550 HP and 501 lb / ft of torque generated by AJ-V8 engine with all-aluminum twin-vortex Roots-type supercharger.

   This car has been upgraded in almost every part of it, from the elegant exterior, luxurious interior leather upholstery for the brutal V8. First things first, let's head toward the cabin. Luxury and perfection that affected the entire interior. New ebony finish for the XKR-S includes knobs and center console are made of ebony black gloss. JaguarDrive Selector and Start pulsing red button is also standard with the XKR-S.

The exterior design of XKR-S is still referred to the previous XKR, which has the luxurious and athletic body. However, the company won’t allow the total similarity to XKR-S.  The impression of futuristic sporty is directly reflected when you’re standing next to it. The exterior changes include an elegant carbon-fiber splitter, the hood vents as an engine exhibitor, an upgraded carbon fiber rear wing and diffuser, four big round polished steel exhaust pipes, a new front fascia with a blacked-out grille and turning vanes.
