The engine in a standard XKR/XJR saloon develops 370-375 BHP.
Paramount have increased this output to a target 450 BHP by
incorporation of a replacement exhaust system, including new
high flow catalysts, increased supercharger speed, improved
supercharger intercooling, and a revised air induction and
filtration system. The car can be fitted with a conversion,
which enables the standard car's 155 mph electronically imposed
speed limit to be exceeded by as much as 25 mph. (Final power
output will depend upon the sound level of the exhaust
specified).
The XKR/ XJR 450 suspension enables the car
to ride 30 mms lower than the standard XKR/XJR, the suspension
incorporates revised springs and can also include increased
front and rear track.
The steering system includes
switchable steering feel, which offers standard Jaguar weight
for parking and a more suitable weight for A and B Road driving.
The switch is conveniently located on the center console.

The cars are fitted with AP Racing Brakes, incorporating 6 pot
front calipers and 4 pot rear calipers with braided hosing,
special brake fluid and a choice of pad grade. These are track
developed and the system is both road and track capable
(depending on the pad grade specified). The system is highly
competent and a variant is used on the Jaguar XJR TOCA pace car.
External changes include all of the front air intakes fitted
with double crimped chromium plated brass mesh (similar to
Bentley specification). This treatment is carried over to air
vents incorporated in the front bumper section - to give a more
aggressive look and to improve cooling to the supercharger. A
matching mesh air outlet is incorporated in the lower rear
fairing to differentiate this car from a standard Jaguar XJR.
You can of course leave your car on its standard wheels and make
no changes to its bodywork, in order to keep the car entirely
suitable for business use - whilst knowing that you are driving
one of the ultimate Q cars.
However, you will have even
better handling, without any adverse effect on ride quality, if
you specify a set of Paramount's optional 2 piece Opera 19"
alloys fitted with 255/40 ZR 19 Bridgestone SO2 Pole Position
tires (front and rear).
If you wish, you can add the
optional full bodywork conversion, which comprises a lower front
fairing, side sponsons and additional side sections on the rear
valance. This equipment gives the car better stability at higher
speeds and gives a clearer indication that the car is not
standard.
If you wish to revise the already luxurious
interior specification of your Jaguar saloon, we have
considerable experience in this field. We can add a few discrete
touches or we can transform a Jaguar into a smaller version of a
Rolls Royce or a Bentley. Why not come and see what we can
achieve ? Apart from leather, alcantara, and special wood veneer
finishes, we can install ICE, navigation and even totally
concealed radar and laser detection equipments.
ALL THE
ABOVE EQUIPMENT (EXCEPT THE ENGINE UPGRADE) CAN BE FITTED TO THE
XJ8 4.0 LITRE AND 3.2 LITRE MODELS. |
