 Jaguar XK

 

 Mercedes Benz SL-Class

 

Overview

The XK combines Jaguar's legendary performance with advanced technologies and sporting luxury to create a grand tourer with the heart and soul of a sports car.

The XK is available in Coupe or Convertible, with a choice of two engines.
  Some tales improve with each telling. And so it is with the latest incarnation of the SL-Class - the flagship Mercedes-Benz roadster that has rewritten automotive
history for more than half a century. Alluring lines, handcrafted appointments, extraordinary performance and
a hardtop that retracts in just 16 seconds are only a prologue to the next chapter in its legendary story.
