Jaguar XKR is a black beauty

The 2010 Jaguar XKR is one of the most beautiful cars on the road today, according to automotive journalist Justin Pritchard.

Shown here with the optional “Black Pack” that adds black wheels, a rear spoiler and subtle body kit, pricing lands around $115,000.

Not exactly cheap, but the wicked snort from the five-litre supercharged V8 under the hood is worth every penny.

Also, with 510 horsepower on tap, pricing is reasonable compared to a similarly powered Porsche, Ferrari or Aston Martin.
