Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking XK-E, Jaguar’s design director, Ian Callum, has unveiled the new XKR-S, a sport coupe with an assertive, low-slung look that bears a family resemblance to its storied ancestor. A taut chassis and precise steering give this $132,000 Jag race-car handling, and a 550-horsepower engine launches it to a top speed of 186 m.p.h. The model comes in six colors, including, exclusively to the XKR-S, French racing blue (shown). jaguar.com
