The naturally-aspirated V8 that only gets a single application in the combined 2013 Jaguar XF and XJ lines soldiers on in the 2013 XK (a 2012 model is pictured, but there are no syling changes), with four of the eight XKs available from next year fitted with the 385-horsepower engine. Yes, that's eight XKs, instead of the six that are currently available – a Touring Coupe and Convertible join the family at lower the price point.
Single-spec models, the only options for the Touring models will be the outside and inside colors. Otherwise, they'll come with an Aero Package and 19-inch wheels outside, Satin Rosewood veneer, heated front seats and the Jaguar audio system inside, and a Morzine cloth headliner in the coupe instead of the Jaguar Suedecloth on the upper trims. At $79,000, the Touring Coupe takes $5,500 off the entry price to the XK family. The Touring Convertible goes for $85,000, just $500 more than the 385-hp XK Coupe.
To give the new models some space, the 2013 XK Coupe will come standard on 20-inch wheels instead of the 19-inchers of yore. Whereas Meridian supplies the top-level audio in the sedans, the sports cars stick with 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio. Customers can go further with the order book for free, with the Special Order options offered at no charge. A Portfolio Package tweaks things further with chrome mirror caps and grille, plus a suite of recommended colors for the exterior; inside, it gets either a Navy or Truffle theme, a leather headliner like the XKR-S, leather-trimmed floor mats and stainless steel pedals and sill plates.
The XKR Convertible gets the option of the Dynamic Pack previously exclusive to the XKR Coupe, with its Adaptive Dynamics and sportier suspension, aero add-ons and a bump in top speed on the track to 174 miles per hour.
The limited-to-100 XKR-S, introduced only a year ago, remains the same. So, for that matter, do the list prices for the XK range, the 2013 models not shifting a penny from the $84,500 XK Coupe to the $138,000 XKR-S Convertible.
