The special edition XKR Portfolio weighs in just south of a six figure price tag, making it one of the most extravagant new Jaguars available. However, the shapely coupe is still considerably less expensive and, as this prestigious award might suggest, more aristocratic than some of its European rivals.

Setting it apart from the already potent XKR, the Portfolio features a sleek Celestial Black paint job, unique 20" wheels, massive brake pads surrounded by bright red calipers, a choice of two new interior veneer finishes, and a set of signature Bowers & Wilkins speakers designed specifically for the coupe's cabin.

The XKR Portfolio, with less than 300 expected to land on American shores, combines the appeal of exclusivity and premium design with a touch of sophisticated moderation. The XKR Portfolio makes a bold statement on the road or standing still, but it doesn't threaten with pretension. It's simply a beautiful car, built the way a coupe should look, sound, and move.
