I searched for months trying to find that White and Tan convertible combination.





I finally found this XK in Dallas. It's my first Jag and I love it. That being said, I'm really, really, missing the supercharger. Just this past weekend I had my doors blown off by a corvette! So I've begun my search again for the illusive white and tan R or R-S that's in my price range. I can't find one in the USA. If you know of one please let me know!

Otherwise, what are my options for increasing the HP on my current XK?

 

The whole thing nets out to what is your budget. I look at Autotrader , Cars.com , Jaguar USA and other web sites and have seen a fair number of White XKR listed . My bet is there a more out there then I have seen as I am only looking at 2012 -2013 years. Try looking at these sites and good luck

 

I think the interior colour is officially "Caramel" - might help in your search.

The XK has very few mods available, mostly because it's not the sort of car modders buy. An exhaust upgrade and an ECM custom tune is all I can think of. Neither of those are going to get you near XKR performance. However, it's worth noting that, even if you can't find an XKR that suits, the 5.0 XK is nearly as quick as the 4.2 XKR (less power, but less weight too).

 

Nice ride......I own the 2009 XKR model and love the ride. You will also, even though your's is an XK. The 4.2L SC engine has plenty of power.

I have seen several of the 09 XKR in the Portfolio Edition Convertible model for sale. Just keep looking. They are rare, but are out there.

 

Beautiful color in White! Rare as well. I too was looking for more power for my 2007 XK. I love everything about the car and how I set it up for my taste....but lacking that extra 100HP....do I need it? Heck no, the cars dang fast as it is, and I'll never really use all that power, it's even faster than my old Ferrari Testarossa, but it's a guy thing.....I know it's out there so I gotta have it!!! Searched the web even called Hennessy! The bottom line is it's much cheaper to sell It and buy a XKR to replace it.
Except for.....Adding Nitrous !! For about $500-$1000 you can get a wet system that will give you 75-150 more (Safe) horses for the occasional stop light race with that pesky Corvette!
