00:03 A performance variant of a performance variant, the
00:06 Jaguar XK-RS is the even more powerful track-ready version
00:11 of the XK Coupe.
00:13 To justify the extra $35,000 on its price tag, the XK-RS
00:18 pumps an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque
00:21 from its supercharged V8 for a total of 550 horsepower and
00:26 502 pound-feet of torque.
00:30 Add to that stiffer springs and shocks, stickier tires, a
00:34 0.4-inch lower ride height, an increased top speed, and some
00:38 scoops and wings, and you have a seriously fast grand
00:41 touring machine.

01:07 Now we've got all the traction controls off, mind you.
01:10 The Jaguar is a car that probably needs
01:12 the traction control.
01:15 See how much I'm moving the wheel?

01:29 This car must be driven with respect, because it does get
01:33 tail happy.

01:50 Good brakes.
01:51 [TIRES SQUEALING]
02:00 Haven't driven anything with that kind of wheel spin out of
02:03 the corkscrew today.
02:04 [TIRES SQUEALING]
02:08 I'm going to rate the Jaguar as the most likely to be spun.
