The Jaguar XK, especially the "00" moniker, embodies a pivotal moment in the British automaker's history. Introduced in 1996, the XK, designated as the X100 internally, marked a dramatic departure from its predecessor, the XJS. It was the first all-new Jaguar model in over a decade, and the first to be designed under the leadership of the company's new CEO, Bob Dover. The XK represented a clean break with the past, shedding the XJS’s retro styling in favor of a bold, modern design language that emphasized sleek curves and aerodynamic efficiency. Its aluminum-intensive construction, pioneered by Ford, not only reduced weight but also promised greater rigidity and improved handling. This advanced design, coupled with powerful V8 engines and cutting-edge safety features, placed the XK squarely at the forefront of the luxury sports car market. The "00" designation in the XK 2000 Owners Manual refers to the model years 2000-2001. This specific period saw refinements to the XK's design and performance. In 2000, the XK received a subtle facelift, including new front and rear bumpers, revised taillights, and a more prominent grille. The engine lineup also saw updates, with the addition of a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 option, boosting power output to a thrilling 370 hp. This enhanced performance, combined with the XK's already impressive handling and luxurious interior, solidified its position as a formidable competitor to rivals like the Mercedes-Benz SL and the BMW 6 Series. The 2000 model year, therefore, marked a significant step in the XK's evolution, blending sophisticated design, exhilarating performance, and advanced technology into a cohesive, luxurious package.
