Performance, 0-100, top speed, mpg
City, highway, and combined fuel consumption are not measured on every Jaguar XK Raritet version. CO2 and eco class are not measured on every version. MPG figures are therefore not in this dataset.
Measured 0–100 km/h and top speed:
- 1 generation 3.4 MT (152 hp, 1295 kg): 12.0 s, 193 km/h.
- 1 generation 3.4 MT (162 hp, 1295 kg): 12.0 s, 193 km/h.
- 1 generation 3.4 MT (162 hp, 1372 kg): 0–100 not measured, 193 km/h.
- 1 generation 3.4 MT (152 hp, 1372 kg), 3.4 MT (182 hp, 1372 kg), 3.4 MT (203 hp), 3.4 MT (182 hp, 1325 kg): 0–100 not measured; top speed not measured except as listed above.
- 2 generation 3.4 MT (190 hp): 9.2 s, 193 km/h.
- 2 generation 3.4 MT (210 hp): 8.6 s, 201 km/h. That is 0.6 s quicker and 8 km/h faster than 3.4 MT (190 hp) in the same generation.
- 3 generation 3.4 MT (193 hp, 1473 kg, CR 8): 9.2 s, 196 km/h.
- 3 generation 3.4 MT (193 hp, 1461 kg, CR 9): 0–100 not measured, 196 km/h.
- 3 generation 3.4 MT (213 hp, 1461 kg): 8.7 s, 200 km/h.
- 3 generation 3.4 MT (213 hp, 1473 kg): 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured.
- 3 generation 3.4 MT (253 hp, 8.0 s / 212 km/h): 8.0 s, 212 km/h.
- 3 generation 3.4 MT (253 hp, times not measured): 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured.
- 3 generation 3.8 MT (269 hp): 7.8 s, 227 km/h — the shortest 0–100 and highest top speed in the data.
- 3 generation 3.8 MT (223 hp): 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured.
Where both times exist, 3 generation 3.8 MT (269 hp) is 1.4 s quicker to 100 km/h than 3.4 MT (193 hp, 1473 kg, CR 8) (7.8 vs 9.2) and 31 km/h faster at the top (227 vs 196). Against 1 generation 3.4 MT (152 hp, 1295 kg) at 12.0 s / 193 km/h, the same 3.8 MT (269 hp) is 4.2 s quicker and 34 km/h faster.
Dimensions, weight, tank, clearance
Gross weight is not measured on any Jaguar XK Raritet version. Wheel size is not measured on any version.
Kerb weight in 1 generation spans 1295–1500 kg: 1295 kg on 3.4 MT (152 hp, 1295 kg) and 3.4 MT (162 hp, 1295 kg); 1325 kg on 3.4 MT (182 hp, 1325 kg); 1372 kg on 3.4 MT (152 hp, 1372 kg), 3.4 MT (162 hp, 1372 kg), and 3.4 MT (182 hp, 1372 kg); 1500 kg on 3.4 MT (203 hp). That 1500 kg listing is 205 kg heavier than the 1295 kg pair.
Kerb weight in 2 generation is not measured on 3.4 MT (190 hp) and not measured on 3.4 MT (210 hp).
Kerb weight in 3 generation is 1473 kg on 3.4 MT (193 hp, CR 8), 3.4 MT (213 hp, 1473 kg), both 3.4 MT (253 hp), and both 3.8 MT; it is 1461 kg on 3.4 MT (193 hp, CR 9) and 3.4 MT (213 hp, 1461 kg) — 12 kg less than the 1473 kg group.
Fuel tank is 64 L on every 1 generation version, not measured on both 2 generation versions, and 63 L on every 3 generation version (1 L less than 1 generation where both are measured).
Ground clearance is 181 mm on every 1 generation version and not measured on 2 generation and 3 generation.
Which version to choose
The Jaguar XK Raritet range is all RWD Manual Gasoline with 6 Inline cylinders and boost No. Choice is between Coupe (1 generation) and Cabrio (2 generation, 3 generation), 3-speed (2 generation) versus 4-speed (the other two), Drum brakes (1 generation, 2 generation) versus Disc/Disc (3 generation), fuel 76 versus 92, and the measured power and times.
If the goal is the highest measured output, 3 generation 3.8 MT (269 hp) is 269 hp / 198 kW and 353 Nm — 66 hp and 28 Nm above 3.8 MT (223 hp) in the same generation (223 hp / 164 kW, 325 Nm), and 117 hp above the lowest 1 generation 3.4 MT (152 hp). It is also the only 3.8 MT with measured 7.8 s and 227 km/h. 3.8 MT (223 hp) shares 3781 cc and 87 × 106 but has 0–100 not measured and top speed not measured.
If the goal is the strongest 3.4 MT in the Cabrio years, 3 generation 3.4 MT (253 hp) is 253 hp / 186 kW and 325 Nm. One listing has 8.0 s and 212 km/h; the other listing of the same name and power has 0–100 not measured and top speed not measured. Versus 3.4 MT (193 hp, 1473 kg, CR 8) at 193 hp / 285 Nm / 9.2 s / 196 km/h, the measured 3.4 MT (253 hp) is 60 hp and 40 Nm stronger, 1.2 s quicker, and 16 km/h faster.
If the goal is a lighter 3 generation 3.4 MT, the 1461 kg pair is 3.4 MT (193 hp, CR 9) and 3.4 MT (213 hp, 1461 kg). The 213 hp listing is 20 hp and 6 Nm above the 193 hp listing (213 / 291 vs 193 / 285) and has 8.7 s / 200 km/h, while that 193 hp listing has 0–100 not measured and 196 km/h.
If the goal is 2 generation Cabrio with a 3-speed Manual, 3.4 MT (210 hp) is 20 hp above 3.4 MT (190 hp) (210 vs 190; 154 vs 139 kW) and is 0.6 s quicker (8.6 vs 9.2) and 8 km/h faster (201 vs 193). Torque is not measured on both.
If the goal is 1 generation Coupe, 3.4 MT (203 hp) is the only 1 generation version on fuel 92, with 203 hp / 149 kW at 5800 rpm, 298 Nm at 3900 rpm, compression 9, and 1500 kg — the heaviest kerb in the model. Its 0–100 and top speed are not measured. For a measured 0–100 in this generation, 3.4 MT (152 hp, 1295 kg) and 3.4 MT (162 hp, 1295 kg) both list 12.0 s and 193 km/h at 1295 kg; they differ by 10 hp (152 vs 162) at the same 264 Nm. 3.4 MT (182 hp) listings add 20 hp over 162 hp (182 vs 162) and 11 Nm (275 vs 264) but 0–100 is not measured and top speed is not measured on both 182 hp rows.
Problems and reliability are not measured in this dataset: there are no fault rates, service intervals, or durability scores in the source figures.
