Brit limo goes all boy racer

Jaguar has introduced a Sport Pack for the XJ range available on all models. It comprises an aerodynamic package for the body work with an alloy wheel design specific to this Pack.
The most important news is that the aerodynamic aids allow Jaguar to offer an additional option – the Speed Pack. And as you might expect this improves top speed and the limiter has been moved from 250kph to 280kph for the supercharged V8 models!
The aero changes include a splitter beneath the bumper directing air beneath the car to reduce lift and the bootlid lip at the rear has been extended. There’s also a gloss black mesh finish for the grille and the vents.
Additionally there red painted brake callipers behind the 20-inch ‘Venom’ alloy wheels with a diamond-turned sparkle silver finish to their eye-catching five split-spoke design. Newly designed split twin tailpipes (not available from launch) are also included.
Inside there are performance front seats trimmed in softgrain leather with enlarged side bolsters. In the footwell there are purposeful machined stainless steel pedals. Plus there’s Piano Black trim contrasted in the Sport specification by subtle carbon fibre highlights.
