Pictures have been circulating on the web of a facelift to the Jaguar XK and XKR, with the cars pictured abovve caught testing outside the manufacturers castle bromwich plant. This mid life facelift could be introduced within the next few months as the new 2009 model year cars, or may wait until the bigger 5.0 V8 engine is fitted to the cars, expected to be mid 2009.

A raft of revisions have been made to both the Jaguar XK and XKR models - with the front foglights being changed on both as can be seen taped up on the above picture. The ones on the current XKR having previously come in for some criticism from customers with a plastic mesh effect surround that was not in-keeping with a £70,000+ sportscar.

Other changes include stylish new LED rear lights, different alloys on both models, and some hefty revisions to the interior which will feature the rotating dial gearbox selector that rises from the tranmission tunnel, and is so popular on the Jaguar XF. The Jaguar XKR could well also feature the suspension changes introduced on the limited edition XKR-S model that was so well received by the press.
