JAGUAR XKR
The Jaguar XK8 upon which the Jaguar XKR is based once again made the company a serious player in the high performance grand tourer market. Beautiful and elegant in the tradition of Jaguar, the car was a clear but not slavish homage to the Jaguar E Type. The Great Escape Jaguar XKR is available to hire from our Cotswolds fleet.

The Jaguar XK8 was launched in 1996 and is fundamentally the same car as the contemporary Aston Martin DB7. Both cars were based on Jaguar XJ-S running gear, itself derived from the benchmark Jaguar XJ6 saloon. This means that the car rides superbly and has excellent handling - characteristics that are often overlooked about the Jaguar XJS.
