Jaguar XK Convertible

The Jaguar XK Convertible reaches 60 mph in 5.37 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.57 s, tripping the lights at 106.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s and the eighth mile in 8.92 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.63 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the XK Convertible

The 2009 Jaguar XK Convertible is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,696 kg with 380 bhp, which works out at 224 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 224 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.21 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,595th quickest to 60 mph, and the 38th quickest of the 68 Jaguars here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 106.0 mph, the 1,248th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Jaguar XK Convertible is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
