   The current-generation Jaguar XK heads into its fifth year of output with little considerable change save for the introduction of the limited-edition XKR175 Coupe. There's not anything to concern about, though, as the improvements made to last year's XK actually honed up this car's presentation, and the whole lineup extends to be an appealing alternative amidst luxury sports cars.
   
   The direct-injection 5.0-liter V8 presented last year is mighty yet smooth. Rated at 385 horsepower, it brags 40 hp more than the Porsche 911 Carrera and a better power-to-weight ratio than the Mercedes-Benz SL550. Beyond the raw figures, the V8's very broad torque variety permits the XK to be helpful as either a long-distance cruiser or a back-road burner. It's a alike article for the supercharged Jaguar XKR, which brags 510 hp, some 10 hp more than the strong Porsche 911 Turbo. Though the Mercedes SL63 AMG has 8 hp more, the XKR levels in about 300 pounds less (and charges $44,000 less, too).
   
   Certainly the XK doesn’t like for power, and Jaguar backs it up with outstanding street manners. Jaguar Drive Control devotes the person going by car a alternative of three modes to adjust such presentation attributes as throttle answer, move pace and suspension settings. The adjustable suspension and adaptive dampers permit the XK to prowl calmly or slash bends like a feline on a shag rug, and the XKR exhibitions even more command with the supplement of an electronically controlled, limited-slip back differential.
