It&#8217;s not only out of the bag, but the bag has been beaten, robbed and burned to a crisp. Translation: <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/jaguar\">Jaguar<\/a> is bringing a brawny, hopped-up version of its <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/tag\/xkr\">XKR<\/a> to Geneva. Dubbed the XKR Special Edition, this Jag is actually a combo platter of two <em>other<\/em> XKR specials. Still with us? Good.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the first two. For 2011, the supercharged, 510-horsepower XKR will be available with a Speed Pack. What&#8217;s it do? The Speed Pack raises the bad kitty&#8217;s top speed from 155 mph to 174 mph (both speeds are electronically limited). Then there&#8217;s the Black Pack that, besides being fun to say, is an appearance package for the already pretty good looking XKR. <\/p>\n<p>Should you opt for the Black Pack, you get gloss black 20-inch Kalimnos wheels, gloss black chrome grille and side vents, red brake calipers and a body-colored aero-kit. You can even go for an &#8220;XKR&#8221; graphic on the side sills (we&#8217;d advise against that last bit). Rather than calling the two combined packages &#8220;Black Speed,&#8221; Jaguar is instead calling the whole megillah the XKR Special Edition. Until Geneva.
