(from Jaguar Press Release) "The XK is Jaguar's leading beautiful, fast car. With sensuous lines, rich appointments and thrilling performance, it has remained on the shopping list of automotive enthusiasts for more than six decades."

Making their world debut at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2006model year Jaguar XK 'Victory' editions celebrate Jaguar's four championship wins in the North American Trans-Am road racing series and add to a successful lineage of special and limited edition XKs introduced since its launch.
Now a familiar sight on the racetracks of North America, the racing version of the XKR coupe has achieved three of four outright Manufacturer's Championship wins in the Trans-Am Series for Jaguar. For the 2004 season, Jaguar claimed its fourth title – second in a row – when the Jaguar R Performance XKR, driven by Paul Gentilozzi, propelled him to his 29th career Trans-Am victory, tying the legendary Mark Donohue's career Trans-Am win record.
