Thursday 4th April 1996
Jaguar introduced its new SK8 convertible at the New York International Auto Show. The SK was the sports car version of the XK car released a few months before. The two models were Jaguar’s first entirely new designs since the company became a Ford subsidiary in 1989. Powered by the advanced Jaguar V8 coupled with a five-speed automatic gearbox, the SK lived up to Jaguar’s heritage of powerful sports cars.
