The Jaguar XK is a beautifully styled sports car that also manages the rare trick of mixing an exciting drive with a quiet and comfortable interior. In the flesh, it remains the best looking GT money can buy - a characteristic that saw it voted Most Stylish new car, as part of the CarBuyer Car of the Year awards 2011 For that you can thank its superb suspension, the choice of two hugely powerful V8 engines and a slick automatic gearbox. The supercharged XKR version is a seriously rapid car, with its 5.0-litre engine producing 503bhp to allow it to reach 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds. The convertible version shares all the performance of its coupe relative, but opens up the XK's interior to the sun.
