Video: Drifting on Ice with the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible

Filmed on a frozen lake in Hämeenlinna Finland, Jaguar test driver Minna Sillankorva explores the new Jaguar XKR-S convertible on the ice-covered lake in a near-permanent sideways attitude.

Under the hood he found a 5.0 liter V8 producing 550hp, which is good enough to do a sprint from standstill to 100km/h in just 4.4 seconds. It will reach a top speed of 300km/h. The Jaguar XKR-S Convertible is basically a drop-top XKR-S. As a result, it features the active exhaust system, lightweight aluminium structure, revised suspension and aerodynamic tweaks.
