The car features a unique Lime Green exterior paint scheme, is described as a one-off to explore the harder side of the XKR's character and allow engineers to explore some performance boundaries. Details are still unclear, however, the Goodwood Special XKR is pegged to have an 'unspecified' power upgrade on top of the standard 2010 XKR's 5.0L supercharged V8. That means more than 503hp (375kW) on tap, likely as much as 550hp (410kW) or more.
Other unique touches include a modified exhaust, 21-inch wheels, and a lowered ride-height.
One lucky attendee will also get a chance to take a ride up the Goodwood hillclimb with Mike Cross, Jaguar's chief engineer, behind the wheel.
Besides showing the special XK, Jaguar will showcase several historic vehicles including the 1957 Le Mans winning long-nose D-type, the first C-type to win Le Mans, and the stillborn XJ13 racer which never saw action due to the company's financial instability. The fastest Jaguar ever - the XF-R Prototype which reaches a stunning top speed of 225.675 mph run at the Bonneville Salt Flats will also be on display.
