I have lots of time before next summer. I'm looking for my next XKR or a XKR-S. My last two XKR's were 2011 XKR175 and 2013 XKR coupe, black with dynamic pack and performance exhaust. I'm looking for a convertible with performance seats. This one will be a keeper. I prefer a 2015 as new as possible. Dynamic pack, performance exhaust, and Vulcan rims highly desirable. I prefer a dark color, ultimate black, stratus grey or sapphire blue. I know everyone has different taste and will like your input on the below (I'm not sensitive so please call it as you see it).

 

Considering that I don't like black or gray cars my selection would be the blue. I also like the charcoal/tan seats only with the performance seats they don't have the cooling feature. Just my thoughts.

 

IMHO a "Final Fifty" convertible would be the ultimate. (1 of the 25 'verts)






Second chioce would be this car... Cars for Sale: Used 2014 Jaguar XK in R-S Convertible, Fife WA: 98424 Details - Convertible - Autotrader

Only 220 miles and just $80K US.



Third choice...

 

Both cars are beautiful. I prefer the XKR body to the XKR-s, however both are great choices.

 

I lusted after a italian racing red XKR. It really shows off the shape nicely. Virtually every time I stop (my IRR) F type someone comes up to ask about it or take a picture (or thumbs up from people next to me or being filmed while I am driving it) and personally I think it is the colour that gives it so much more attention than the (silver) XKR. Unless you arent an attention ***** like me, in which case dont go red.

I second the XKRS-GT. Looks awesome!

I have performance seats in the F Type. They are setting in nicely after 8000km, but they are a lot harder than the lovely seats in the XKR.

 

I can pretty much agree with you on this.

 

I like the Alcantara trimmed seats posted above.

 

i need an XKRS in my life.

 

A French Blue XKRS is the iteration I would go for if I had my choice... Just love that color.

 

If you can't locate a "Final 50" I would go for one with the black/red interior and an XKR with Dynamic pack and performance active exhaust. Good hunting Glen

 

Me, I'll find out who has a C-X75 from Spectre and buy one of the three that are left.

 

What a shame to not see this car make it to production or scaled to production. Jaguar is blending into a regular motor car manufacture trying to increase common market share. Jaguar is less of a niche market product today than it has been. Jaguars of the past were illustrious and highly regarded as objects of art--although, unreliable. The C-X75 is a thing of beauty and would have put Jaguar in a different league.


The mass car market is going through rapid change with alternative energy and autonomous driving. The next 10 to 20 years will be like none other.


I have lots of time before my next purchase. I made an offer on an XKR-S, but it has been refused. When I was selling my MB SLK55 AMG and last XKR I had a hard time finding a buyer--2 very difficult cars to sell. I'm cognizant of the soft market for the XKR and will only jump on a good deal.

 

They screwed up not bringing the C-X75 into production - they would have sold heaps of those - awesome looking.....grrrrr.

 

Did not even have to be a fancy electric at all wheels and all that either. Put their Supercharged V8 in, save weight where you can and it's a winner.

I sure hope Jaguar does eventually partner with Williams. Jaguar is ripe to make an F1 engine supplier entrance within the next 5 years and Williams is the perfect partner for this along with a line of Jaguar/Williams sports cars at several price points.

 

Have you seen this car? Only 3800 KM. STRATUS GREY METALLIC/WARM CHARCOAL

2011 Jaguar XKR for $62,995 in Mont-Royal | autoTRADER.ca

 

I don't care how many (or few) miles a 2011 XRK has, it not worth 63k Canadian (46,900 USD).

 

Yes, unfortunately these cars depreciate if you drive them or not. I paid a lot less than that for my 2011 XKR 175 with 3,000 miles in 2012 (4 years ago).

 

I realize you are looking for a convertible, but just thought I would post this "Final Fifty" coupe...
