The 2012 Jaguar XK
 
MotorAuthority has proclaimed the 2012 Jaguar XK as a perfect 10 in its review. "Whether coupe or convertible, XKR or XKR-S or 'base' two-door, the XK's one of the best-looking vehicles on four wheels in production today. And it certainly doesn't hurt that the XK lineup -- especially in XKR and XKR-S form -- is full of stunning performers," writes Marty Padgett in MotorAuthority.
 
Like a boxer, the Jaguar XK is light on its feet with a powerful, sprightly body that responds with silky moves to whatever the roads throw at it. No boxing match can match the exhilaration you'll experience with the new XK. Step into the ring with the knockout of a Jaguar XK at Park Place Jaguar Plano.
 
Jaguar has re-engineered and re-calibrated the XK and XKR to push its performance capabilities further. The base XK comes built with a strapping 5.0-liter V-8 and 385 horses. The supercharged XK delivers a knock out with its 510 horses and a tremendous torque of 461 lb-ft. Both cars are available as a coupe and convertible. With a convertible, you can open and store the roof in 18 seconds.
 
Add the S in XKR-S for one sweet ride that -- wait for it -- explodes with its 5.0-liter Supercharged engine trained to hit 550 horses and a peak torque of 502 lb-ft. As the most powerful production sports car ever produced by Jaguar, the Jaguar XKR-S crushes 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds with its top speed of 186 mph. You'll be hard-pressed to find an opponent of this grand tourer with the passion and muscle of this champ.
 
"Jaguar calls the XKR-S the company's 'most responsive, powerful, agile, and driver-focused production car.' It's also the quickest ever. Yes, it's quicker and more potent than even the 1992-94 XJ220 supercar," writes Car and Driver in its 2012 XKR-S review. "Stout claim, but the numbers back it up."
 
The XK has a classic low-riding profile with its long hood and broad strokes of athletic lines supplying the grand tour with the soul of a sports car. The rigid body and torsional stiffness come courtesy the XK's aluminum construction along with the supreme power-to-weight ratio for steadfast handling and heartbeat skipping performance. 

"This is the most satisfying XK yet - handsome, comfortable, and meticulously assembled, as well as seriously fast. The luxury GT game has a compelling new player," writes Car and Driver. Flawless. Fulfilling. Exquisite. The Jaguar XK is one unbeatable grand tourer available at Park Place Jaguar Plano serving the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex.
