"Once in motion, the new XK leaps forth with a compliant, civilized ride that automatically stiffens up and resists roll if the car is driven

"On South Africa´s smooth, sweeping roads, we reveled in the throaty roar from the two-stage muffler. At idle, it purrs; under hard acceleration, there´s a yowl reminiscent of the thrilling note from the parallel exhaust pipes of Jag´s classic XK120. Time after time, we ran the XK through its gears just to hear their symphony."

"It´s a breathy powerplant and snaps to
attention with a ready growl. The exhaust has semi-active control for the tune it sings, a muted burble at low speeds and a ripping roar near
redline … Unflappable at triple-digit speeds, the XK bristles with the confidence of a league leader."
