The most track-focused road car in Jaguar’s history – the new Jaguar XKR-S GT – is a chance to reach Australia despite production initially being limited to just 30 left-hand-drive vehicles.
Jaguar product public relations manager Jonathan Griffiths admitted the hardcore XKR-S GT coupe was designed primarily for North America (25 destined for the US, and five for Canada), but said the British manufacturer would build additional vehicles for other markets if there was demand.
“If we get orders [from other regions], then yes,” said Griffiths, who also confirmed there was nothing stopping Jaguar from building the XKR-S GT in right-hand drive for markets like Australia and the UK.
An evolution of the XKR-S (itself an uprated version of the XKR), the Jaguar XKR-S GT features a host of aerodynamic components and suspension developments designed to increase downforce and optimise the car’s high-speed cornering ability.
