The Jaguar XK 180 is a concept car created by the British car manufacturer Jaguar Cars to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the XK car and to show the world the skills of Jaguar stylists, craftsmen and engineers. It was presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1998.
It had a 4.0 litre supercharged V8 engine with four valves per cylinder, developing 450 bhp (336 kW; 456 PS) and 445 lb⋅ft (603 N⋅m) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Mercedes five-speed automatic gearbox which has been modified to be controlled by buttons on the steering wheel. Seating capacity was two. It had a claimed top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h), although this was never tested, and it could accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds. It was capable of covering a 1/4 mile (400 m) in 13.5 seconds at 106 mph (171 km/h). Two XK 180s were built in total, one in RHD and one in LHD. Both were roadsters.
