Jaguar XK
The sporty Jaguar XK coupe and convertible come in three trim levels: basic, R and RS. Their 5.0L V8 engines produce anywhere from 385 to 510 to even 550 horsepower. All are matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The XKR-S convertible is new for 2013. These coupes and convertibles can accommodate four passengers, though the back seats are not terribly comfortable.
