Spy Citroen GT Concept In GT5 Prologue
We never get tired of watching the world’s greatest supercars featured in some of the hottest new games that will hit the market. It makes for great publicity and allows others to see and ‘feel’ just how great and luxurious they are even if it is only simulated on their television screens.

Jaguar XKR-S
Jaguar quietly and stealthily revealed the new XKR-S. This new supercar is powered by a 4.2 liter V8 engine that pushes out 420 horsepower. All this power is sent to the rear wheels through the six speed automatic gearbox - which is built Jaguar’s sequential shift system.
With this kind of power it is no surprise to us that it can rev from 0 to 60 in only 5.2 seconds and has a top speed of 174 miles per hour. This makes it the fastest Jaguar supercar since the XJ220. The revised suspension shows dampers, new springs, a recalibrated CATS (Computer Active Technology Suspension), and a larger rear anti-roll bar. The active exhaust, revised aerodynamic aids, and 400mm Alcon R Performance brakes help to balance out the complete package.
