Description[]
The Jaguar XK8 is the V8-engined variant of the Jaguar XKR coupe, both models were the successor to the Jaguar XJS, which was discontinued in 1996. The XK8 was Jaguar's First V8-engined car, a step down in cylinder count from the previous V12 engine used in the XJ-S. The XK8 was also styled based off the styling of the E-Type or XK-E Jaguar of the 1960s and 1970s. The Hot Wheels casting replicates the Convertible XK8 model in Left-Hand drive.
