2012 Jaguar XKR-S Cabrio spied undisguised on the ring

These are some of the first spy shots available of the upcoming 2012 Jaguar XKR-S Cabriolet variant.

The pics were snapped as the model was undergoing testing on the Nürburgring undisguised. The Cabrio variant follows the introduction of the XKR-S Coupe which debuted at Geneva earlier this year.

Expected under the hood is the same supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine with 550 PS (405 kW / 542 bhp) and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of torque as on the Coupe.
