In 2004 Jaguar’s rear-wheel-drive XK8 got some substantial re-engineering, ncluding new 4.2-liter V-8 engines and a six-speed ZF automatic transmission that generated 294 horsepower. All XK8 models have Dynamic Stability Control to prevent wheel spin and Emergency Brake Assist to produce the shortest possible braking distance in emergencies. Jaguar claims the XK8 coupe will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, he badging and headlights were new along with alloy wheels, ut the XK8’s dramatic, rojectile-shaped appearance did not change. The XK8’s provide a cross between what Jaguar calls “a true, igh-performance sports car and a luxurious elegant gentleman sports car.” It rides on 19-inch alloy wheels, nd P-Zero tires there are not only safe but super sticky on the road. The convertibles have a one-button automatic-latching power soft-top with a glass rear window and defogger. The XK8 has heated front seats and a premium, 20-watt Alpine audio system with a cassette player and six-CD changer and navigation. Heritage counts, specially when it comes to British-built motorcars driving a Jaguar ranks as a memorable experience. Knowing that you’re cocooned in such a lushly shaped vehicle adds to the satisfaction. Handling has always been a strong point for Jaguar. This is a true “boulevard” sports car, owerful, afe, uper fun and 1960’s iconic looks. This is a stunning example of such a car, inished in Gray Ice with Ebony leather, nly 2 adult owners and only 34,900 original miles. #37798 Now on display at the home of “over the top cars” CHECKERED FLAG CLASSICS 7743 MONTEREY ST GILROY, 08-847-8788, old as-is, alifornia buyers are responsible for sales tax and license fees.
