The KWE Model Range
There are four cars in the KWE primary model range, the K1, K2, K3 and K-S
The K1 is the luxury sports saloon based on the Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign, Series 3, 1979 to 1986. A range of engine sizes is offered, but the classic Jaguar 4.2 litre, fuel injected, six cylinder, XK engine with the smooth BW 66 automatic transmission is standard. As with all KWE cars, air conditioning, cruise control, electric windows, electric front seat height adjustment, electric wing mirrors and a fully trimmed interior with Connolly hide and burr walnut veneer is standard.
Manual transmissions can be specified, as can the later 3.6 and 4.0 litre AJ6 engines with ZF four speed automatic transmissions, at extra cost.
Suspension components, wheels and tyres are
revised by KWE to give modern ride and handling characteristics, while
subtle improvements in engine breathing yield greater power and
flexibility.
The K2 is similar to the K1
in body and interior fittings, but contains the magnificent Jaguar 5.3
litre V12 engine. This creamy engine continues to set the standard for
smoothness and effortless power. Available with the GM400 three speed
automatic transmission or by special order a ZF four speed automatic or
Borg
Warner 5 speed manual transmission.
The suspension is further modified to give
best results with this more powerful package.
The K3, based on the Jaguar
XJ12, offers the customer a wide range of engine, body and suspension
tuning options with power outputs of up to 500 bhp from the V12 5.3 or
6.0 litre engine. These are rare, specialist cars giving their owners
bespoke engineering and astonishing performance.
The K-S variants are based
on the timeless Jaguar XJS sports coupé
and convertible in 3.6, 4.0 or
5.3 litre
V12 form. Improvements to handling and power yield supercar performance
in a luxury Grand Tourer. This is one of the most satisfying cars in
the world to drive.
