Arden releases another Jagaur XKR upgrade
Following on from its brilliant take on the XK, German tuning-house Arden has taken Jaguar’s more capable XKR and created a machine even more impressive than the last. Using the same supercharged engine Arden had specially developed for the XK, the new XKR pushes out a healthy 480hp from its 4.5L V8, and a mind-blowing 640Nm of torque to boot. The engine uses a specially made crankshaft, along with new con rods and pistons to help achieve the 300cc increase in displacement from the original.
All that sumptuous power is transferred to the ground through exclusive 21in Arden ‘Sportline’ wheels, powering it to 100km/h in just 4.1 seconds. To make sure the rubber stays where it should, a custom-made spoiler was fitted to the rear, stylishly achieving extra downforce and helping it reach a top speed of 305 km/h. The spoiler is just a small part of a complete bodykit, which also includes modifications to the front spoiler and side sills. Incredibly Arden has managed to lower the aerodynamic coefficient from 0.385 to 0.357, something not all tuners can achieve.
Poised like a cat, the AJ20 is lowered on finely tuned sports suspension achieving a good balance of comfort and sportiness. And to make this street cat purr like it should, Arden has fitted a sports silencer system with four chrome-plated tailpipes, keeping it quiet as a kitten in neutral but giving it the powerful growl it deserves when on the prowl.

Yep
Im am pretty certain you are a Jaguar Salesman.
Never seen such Tunell Visioned affection for a brand from an individual that did not rely on Sales of the Brands' Vehicles to pay his Mortgage.
