Hello.
I am in the process of buying a XK8. The garage insists that it is an XK8
silverstone. Is that possible I thought they were all XKR,s
Thankful for your response.

Based on the already superb specification of the XKR, the new Jaguar was to be given a slight enhancement both in performance and design. The cars were all finished in a Platinum silver paint finish (with convertibles having a complementing black hood) and carried the new unique Silverstone badging. Complemented by a new contrasting leather piped sports interior and a unique “smoke” stained maple veneer facia, the car was also to be given an upgraded chassis and braking system designed by the Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations team (SVO), this included Brembo brakes and sophisticated CATS system (Computer Active Technology Suspension). More noticeable are the superb but enormous 20in diameter BBS “Detroit” wheels with ultra low profile Pirelli PZero tyres. Being ten inches wide at the rear and nine inches wide at the front meant this particular XKR had a menacing stance whilst maintaining the best handling production car of its class. The engine remained the same 370bhp supercharged 4.0 litre AJV8 as in the existing XKR which could accelerate the 0 to 60 in around 5.2 seconds.
