Jaguar announced as the most efficient and fastest way to open the GT model of the brand's history, the new XKR-S Convertible will make its world debut today at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2011.
Packing 550hp and 680nm (501 lb-ft) of torque of the turbocharged 5.0-liter V8, which was borrowed from the Jaguar XKR-S coupe, convertible model accelerates from standstill to 100 km / h (62 mph) in 4, 2 seconds and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 300 km / h (186 mph).

The chief engineer Mike Cross explains: ..
