So far this year more than 2,000 British customers are proud owners of a new XK and dealers have already taken over 800 advance orders for the supercharged XKR, which only just reached showrooms at the end of November. Globally, Jaguar has sold over 10,000 XKs since its launch and taken over 1,500 advance orders for the XKR.
The XK has already picked up some notable awards this year including Most Exciting Car to be launched in 2006 by What Car? magazine, Car of the Year and Best Coupe at the Auto Express New Car Honours 2006, Scottish Car of the Year 2006 and UK TV People's Car of the Year 2006.
Jaguar's design director Ian Callum said: "It is a tremendous honour to receive the car of the year award for the XK and for Jaguar to be recognised for creating such an accomplished vehicle by real enthusiasts such as Top Gear."
