About the XKR-S Convertible 550 PS

The 2012 Jaguar XKR-S Convertible 550 PS is a rear-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,897 kg with 543 bhp, which works out at 286 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 286 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.93 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 912th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 15th quickest of the 187 Jaguars here. Its 117.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible 550 PS 0-60 time?
The Jaguar XKR-S Convertible 550 PS reaches 60 mph in 3.83 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 912th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible 550 PS quarter mile time?
12.19 s at 117.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.93 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.93 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible 550 PS have?
543 bhp and 1,897 kg, which is 286 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 300 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible 550 PS?
Closest here on pace: Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (3.87 s), Lamborghini Gallardo (3.91 s), Ferrari F430 Spyder (3.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible 550 PS in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 XKR-S Convertible 550 PS 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
