What is the Jaguar XK?
The XK is a two-door grand touring sports car, offered as a coupé and convertible. Its blend of a sleek shape and long-distance comfort gave Jaguar’s sporting range a distinctive grand tourer. The X100 arrived as the XK8; its successor, the X150, used the simpler XK name.
XK generations
The generations were X100 (1996–2006) and X150 (2007–2015). The X100 XK8 brought a V8-powered grand tourer to Jaguar’s range. The X150 followed with an aluminium body and chassis, and introduced a new design direction under Ian Callum. Both generations came as coupés and convertibles.
