AUTO SPIES EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: First real-life shots of the new Jaguar XKR convertible in the USA

That is sex on wheels, it really is.

With its bulging haunches, aggressive nose and perfectly executed details, this is oner of the most beautiful convertibles on the market.

Some Coupe designs lose their sparkle with the roof gone, but I must say the XK has no such problems.

Damn that looks good.

I'm waiting on ours. We are getting a triple black XK Conv. THe XKR is too much car for the wife. I wish I could get the XKR grill on it though. BTW the top pic is not an XKR thats an XK. You can tell by the grill and the foglamps and the lack of ducts on the hood.

Looks great the upper and lower mesh grills would look nice on the standard XK and would stop all of the "Taurus" comments.

Sorry Guys!!
That is one UGLY car !!!
Its just an Ugly XK with a bit of Wire Mesh Braces and Bonnet Vents, Oh and the Quad Exhausts ( Wow what a transformation :-( !!!! But wait, its NOT )
THIS XK is Ugly, no matter what you do to it short of a complete redesign.
