But they have not only added letters, this version has a bigger engine, more power and is faster. The Jaguar XKR-S looks even more aggressive, with huge air vents and redesigned front bumper. The biggest surprise of all is that this sporty car is the only one in the class that emits less than 300g/km of CO2. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Emission-conscious Performance Cars:** Opportunity to develop high-performance vehicles that prioritize environmental sustainability and emit low levels of CO2. - **Aggressive Design Upgrades:** Potential for enhancing the aesthetic appeal and aggressive look of performance cars with larger air vents and redesigned front bumpers. - **Advanced Powertrain Technology:** Potential for developing more powerful engines and advanced technologies to increase the speed and performance of performance cars while maintaining lower emissions. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Opportunity for automobile manufacturers to innovate in producing emission-conscious muscle cars with improved performance characteristics. - **Automotive Design:** Opportunity for designers to enhance the aggressive look and overall design of performance cars, incorporating new elements such as larger air vents and redesigned front bumpers. - **Alternative Energy:** Opportunity for companies in the alternative energy sector to develop advanced powertrain technologies that enable high-performance vehicles with low emissions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Internal-Combustion SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fpace-svr.md) - [Powerful Performance Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-xm.md) - [Monstrously Powerful Megacars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megacar.md) - [Ultra-Advanced Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koenigsegg-sadairs-spear.md) - [Juxtaposing Powerful Sportscars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supersport.md) - [Futuristic Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-xm.md) - [Curvaceous Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-electric-concept-cars.md) - [Nostalgic Muscle Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ac-cobra-gtg.md) - [Electrified Retro Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-sports-car.md)
