  | AutoExpress - Jaguar XK 5.0     Rating:  If the 503bhp, £80,000 supercharged XKR is beyond your budget, don’t despair. Jaguar has updated its entry-level XK with a raft of engineering changes and a mild facelift inside and out, but can it improve on the pure driving experience of its predecessor? The major addition is under the bonnet, where Jag has shoehorned in its all-new direct-injection 5.0-litre V8 in naturally aspirated form. Despite the absence of a supercharger, there’s still 379bhp and 500Nm of torque to play with – significantly better then the old 4.2-litre unit, and almost as much as the outgoing XKR. There are also new dampers and springs tuned for a sportier drive. Full (short) Story: AutoExpress - Jaguar XK 5.0 M

| The XK is a stunning car!! Would prefer this over a SL everyday!! Love the design, the interior…  The FL-interior looks much better build then the one of the pre-facelift…have to go to the Jag-dealer and look at it - hope that the 3.0d engine will come for the XF here in germany soon…
