Jaguar's->ke39 rise to prominence has been well documented here at TopSpeed. The company's recent lineup of models have certainly caught the world's attention, so much so that when the company talks about releasing special edition models, nobody scoffs at it anymore.

That's the power attributed to the brand's resurgence, especially in its home in the UK->ke176. It's come to the point even that the brand has no problem releasing not just one, but two new special edition models for its entry-level beauty, the XK.

This particular one is called the XK Dynamic R, and it comes with a slew of upgrades befitting its "dynamic" label. Whether it's the new 20-inch Vortex wheels or the interior that's been dressed to the nines, thanks to a choice of either diamond-sewn performance seats in ivory/charcoal soft grain leather with ivory contrast stitching or charcoal/red soft-grain leather with red contrasting stitching, the XK Dynamic R exudes the same kind of confidence that the brand has had since it served warning to the rest of the industry that the Big Cat is ready to pounce once again.

Rounding out the upgrades on the Dynamic R's interior is the Jet Suedecloth headliner that's fully complemented by Piano Black veneers, while bright metal sport pedals have also been installed.

And we haven't even taken into account the car's 5.0-liter supercharged engine that's mated to a six-speed ZF automatic gearbox with steering wheel-mounted paddles that control the Jaguar Sequential Shift function. All that and the XK Dynamic R pumps out 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to hit 60 mph in around 4.6 seconds to go with a top speed of 174 mph, attributed largely by the inclusion of Jaguar's Speed Pack on the model.

Finally, a new suspension setup, which it it borrows from the XKR-S, was also installed courtesy of the Black Dynamic Pack, while a choice of colors, including Polaris White, Ultimate Black, Stratus Grey, Italian Racing Red, Dark Sapphire and British Racing Green, are available for the model.

2012 Jaguar XK

The Jaguar XK is largely responsible for bringing a lot of customers back to Jaguar's fold. So it's only right that Jaguar does it justice by releasing a pair of special editions dedicated to the model.

In standard form, the XK is powered by a 5.0-liter, V-8 engine that packs 385 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to hit 60 mph in 5.2 seconds to go with a top speed of 155 mph.
