Jaguar XK

Edit: Bryan took some awesome pictures too. Check them out at AutoJunctions.com, 'Jaguar XK, 4.2 V8'

The Jaguar XK...

Meow.

I was surprised how firm and planted the car felt while on a drive. It must be the aluminum structure shared with the XJ sedan's, making the XK is lighter and more rigid (actually 50 percent stiffer) than the old XK8.





The interior is quite different from the typical Jaguar look. Very modern.



Some of the trim has been replaced with aluminum instead of the typical wood usually found in Jaguars. Some may argue that a Jag without wood is like Tom Selleck without the mustache. *chuckle*

Nice navigation touch screen.

The heart. An AJ34, 4.2-liter V8, producing 300 hp and 310 pound-feet of torque. Also, note how the bonnet opens the other way... This has such a nice V8 rumble.

hamzah,
Hello. Umm, I don't think it was me. MIght have been someone else. Maybe Fariz's car? Maybe my brother? I was in KL last night. Didn't drive the GT-R. =)

I doubt it. I believe he was at home at the time. He was the one who told me it was raining heavily and didn't want to come out. When I got home, my car was also dry. =P

hamzah said...

then i think, someone must have stolen ur car and took it for a ride la?

then return it back.

hahahaha.

maybe ur maid at the house wanted to go for test drive?

hahaha.

because that time was raining heavily, so maybe i was mistaken la.

sorry!

haha
