Following a successful media launch, in England, on St George’s Day, Keating Supercars continued development of the UK specification SKR with a number of upgrades and modifications. These included modifications to door hinging, new design door mirrors, a new fascia lay out and the building of a supercharged SKR 520 model.

With a deteriorating economic climate in the UK and throughout Europe, Keating Supercars has now taken the decision to concentrate further development on export markets in line with local importer feedback. Specifically this includes re-engineering for alternative 3 litre V6 power, associated transaxle and incorporation of appropriate systems such as ABS and digital instrumentation.

Although existing SKR options will remain available for domestic and European customers, the new export specification – which will have a lower purchase cost and is currently code-named JV6 – may also be made available subject to demand.
