Really Big Wheels ; Silverstone's secret ingredient is 20 inches in diameter.(Brief Article)
Jaguar Thinks word-of-mouth CAN sell 250 copies of its 2001 XKR Silverstone in North America. No ads, no billboards, no posters for dorm rooms. Just the press and you. If you're passing that word, know this: When Brits say it, the racetrack for which the car is named sounds like "silver-stun." No "stone" to be heard.
The car is no stone, either, but all 250 are platinum silver. The Silverstone is a special-edition XKR, the 370-horsepower supercharged performance version of the XK8. Red-stitched charcoal leather on the steering wheel and sport seats, gray-stained maple trim and special badging inside and out take care of the cosmetics. There's a cosmetic element to the major performance enhancement: 20-inch BBS alloy wheels styled after those on the XK180 concept car (vs. standard 18-inchers on the XKR) with fat, low-profile Pirelli P Zero performance tires. There's room, then, for bigger brakes, red-painted, four-pot aluminum Brembo calipers (same as used on the Porsche Turbo) grabbing cross-drilled rotors 14 inches in diameter in front and 13 inches out back.
The price is the same $97,500 for coupe or convertible, though the underlying XKRs are priced differently. Coupe buyers get extra hardware for a higher price on the Silverstone package (just over $16,000 vs. only $11,750 on the convertibles). Coupes ride lower by 10 mm, and employ a suspension "handling pack" in addition to revised settings in ...
