The Jaguar XK can trace its lineage all the way back to the XJ-S and even further back to the legendary Jaguar E-Type, arguably one of the most beautiful cars to ever grace the tarmac. The XK is considered by some to be a predecessor to the F-Type, but Jaguar will argue that point.

Powered initially by a 4.0-litre V8, and later a 5.0-litre supercharged V8, the XK would make anywhere from 216 kW to 405 kW, depending on the year and trim. Two versions of the XK were created, the X100 running from 1996 through to 2006 and its replacement, the X150 from 2006 to 2014 when production ceased. Both were available in coupe and convertible guises.
