AUTOS: Jaguar XKR-S Already Sold Out

All 25 U.S. versions of the British automaker's fastest-ever convertible were claimed shortly after their unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Well, that didn?t take long: Jaguar has sold out its entire U.S. production of the 2012 XKR-S Convertible, which was revealed at the opening of the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Priced from $138,000, Jaguar opted to build just 25 examples for the U.S. market. The XKR-S has the distinction of being the fastest convertible in the company?s history, with a top speed of 186 miles per hour.

Thanks to a 5-liter supercharged V8 producing 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, this particular cat is quick off the line, too. Expect a zero to 60 mile per hour time in the range of 4.2 seconds, which makes the XKR-S quicker than both a Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet and an Audi R8 4.2 Spyder.

The 2012 Jaguar XKR-S Convertible maintains a proud family tradition since its hard-top sibling XKR-S Coupe has also sold out its entire U.S. production run.
