A German tuning garage by the name of Arden has recently showcased their version of the Jaguar XKR convertible, pictured above. This vehicle reportedly features a redesigned chassis for more responsive handling along with 21-inch allow rims, quad stainless steel exhaust system and tuned suspension.

Under the hood Arden gives their XKR 30 more horsepower added to the stock 510HP making for a full output of 540HP. In terms of top speed, Arden’s Jaguar XKR will reach speeds of up to 198MPH doing away with the electronically limited 155HP of the stock XKR.

Unfortunately for XKR owners, Arden has yet to release a price point or release date for this particular tuning kit.
