The Goodwood Festival of Speed is just around the corner – July 3rd through the 5th – and Jaguar has announced its lineup for the UK show. Jaguar will be bringing five unique vehicles to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, including a special edition XKR.
Based on the 2010 Jaguar XKR , the Goodwood Special XKR shows what a hardcore XKR might be like. The Goodwood Special XKR features “performance enhancements”, a louder exhaust, 21-icnh wheels and, most noticeably, a Lime Green paint scheme with plenty of XKR graphics. Other unique touches include a satin graphite treatment on the car’s front grille, side mirrors, headlights, door surrounds, hood louvers and rear spoiler.

It remains unclear what kind of production value the Goodwood Special XKR holds, but some of its performance parts are likely to show up in Jaguar dealers for the 2010 model year.

Also on hand at the Goodwood Festival will be Jaguar’s record-setting Bonneville XFR. With only minor aero and engine tweaks, the near-stock Bonneville XFR was able to hit an astonishing top speed of 225 mph on Utah’s salt flats.

Rounding out Jaguar’s show lineup will be a Long Nose D-Type, the XJ13 – the only in existence – and Jaguar’s Le Mans winning C-Type.
