The XK8 gets a fresh start, owing little to its current namesake. It is closely related to the latest XJ, with a bonded and riveted aluminum monocoque structure, and the coupe and the convertible will be built on the same line, parallel to the XJ, at Jaguar's Castle Bromwich plant. he standard model continues with the 294-hp, 4.2-liter V-8 engine used in the XK since 2003. Jaguar proudly asserts that its power-to-weight ratio is 10 percent better than the Mercedes SL500's. Jaguar also claims 0-to-60-mph acceleration "comfortably below" six seconds and a quarter-mile within 0.2 second of the current XKR's time (13.8 at 105 mph). There will be a new XKR, with more than 400 horsepower from its supercharged engine, but not until 2007. The XK, for the first time in a Jaguar, has fingertip paddles attached to the steering wheel for manual ratio selection, linked to a ZF six-speed automatic.
