2002 Jaguar XK8 Navigation
The Jaguar XK8 was available in both coupe and convertible forms. Models included the XK8, XKR, and XKR S. Pricing ranged from $69,200 through $96,900. Power came from a dual-overhead-cam V8 engine rated at 290 horsepower. An optional supercharged V8 offered 370 horsepower. 
ConvertibleThe design of the XK8 was courtesy of Geoff Lawson and it followed in the legendary wheeltracks of the iconic Xk120 and immortal E-Type. The XK8 made its debut at the Geneva motorshow in 1996. From its launch, it was available as a coupe or convertible. Like its predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. It was also the first Jaguar to be given an eight-cylinder engine. Prior to 2003, the XK8 came with a normally aspirated engine while the XKR had a supercharger. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-liter AJ34 unit was employed.
