Do you mean XKR? Because if so, I LOVE that car from the late 90's to present...It's the supercharged 370 horsepower V8...Very beautiful IMO (the convertible). Really like it in Saphire Blue...Although not as big a fan of the hardtop...

Anyways, that looks good in some of those pics, but still hard to tell (would have liked some better shots of the front/front angles).

Any specs on the motor? Pricing?

That front end doesn't look very "jaguar-like", but the car does look good.

FWIW this car *IS* an Aston Martin DB9. Ford put it on the same frame. It's a reskin pretty much.

Actually it shares nothing with the Aston Martin DB9 in terms of underpinnings. As of right now, the VH platform is strictly for AM vehicles. The XK AFAIK is based on a shortened version of the current XJ platform, NOT the VH platform which current Astons are built off of. The design characteristics of both cars are similar however since Jaguar's current designer Ian Callum was once the lead designer over at AM.
