Both model cars are inspired from the XJS Jaguar, although the main difference is the platform, which has been changed extensively. In terms of performance and power, both model XKR and XK8 are limited to a 155 mph or 250-km/h tops speed. Their computer governor provides them a lower "top speed" that than the car they replaced.
