The XK was not only crowned Car of the Year but also GT of the Year and follows awards as Auto Express Car of the Year, UK TV Peoples Car of the Year and Scottish Car of the Year.

The awards presented by BBC Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson were:

Dream Car: Brash, ostentatious and incredibly loud, the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is a proper supercar.

SUV: The Land Rover Freelander 2 is more sophisticated and comfortable than ever, and it still rules the off-road roost.

Small Car: It's not easy to tell apart from its predecessor, but the new Mini Cooper S is the most fun car we've driven this year.

Supercar: Blisteringly fast but beautifully behaved on the road, the Ferrari 599 GTB is a near-perfect supercar.

Roadster: We knew Mazda would do a good job with the MX-5 RC. But we didn't expect it to be even better than the soft-top.

GT: Stunning to behold and great to drive, the Jaguar XK stirs the soul like no other GT out there.

Coupe: The Audi TT has always been a looker, but now it has the performance to match.

Big Car: A sport-flavoured MPV? It sounds improbable, but the Ford S-Max somehow adds up.

Family Car: Citroen's brilliantly original C4 Picasso is clever enough to keep the whole family entertained.
