Good morning - my first post on a great forum.


I recently bought an Italian Racing Red 2014 XKR coupe (probably my 15th Jaguar over 40 years, E-Types to XJs and XKs).


It has the dynamic pack. When I look at the build, it lists the specific R-S suspension items, red calipers, the sport seats, larger rear tire, piano black fascia, black headliner, etc. that seem to indicate a Dynamic R. It does not have the Vortex wheels. There is also a group code in the paperwork that seems to imply the dynamic pack group.


I have done a lot of looking on this forum and other net sites, and I am still trying to answer this question so I hope someone can help:


If an XKR has the dynamic pack, does that make it a Dynamic R, or can a "regular" R just be an R with the dynamic pack because the Dynamic R has other differences? In other words, does the option make it the Dynamic R? Would there be something that ONLY the Dynamic R and R-S would have to make it identifiable as compared to a normal XKR?


Thanks

 

If you are just trying to confirm that the car is what they sold you? You can create a free account here to look up the build info : https://topix.jaguar.jlrext.com If you post the vin I can look it up for you.

 

Thanks SeanU


The TOPIx is the information I was looking at.


Does this help?


It wasn't being sold as a Dynamic R, but when I started looking at what it has, it made me think it is. I was just expecting something to say it in the description.

I've nothing to contribute here, but by your Username, JagAz, I assume you own a Jag in Arizona. It just strikes me funny when I say your Username quickly out loud.
Hope you enjoy your new toy!

 

Yes you have the dynamic pack. You have the suspension and Vulcan rims of the R-S. You should also have the larger rear spoiler, rear diffuser, side sills and front splitter of the speed pack which is part of the dynamic pack. The dynamic-R also includes the performance exhaust which I don't see on your build. So you have the dynamic pack and not the dynamic-R. The dynamic-R also includes fabric steering wheel, performance exhaust and quilted performance seats. Post some pictures.

 

I know. You are correct, I am in Arizona. I thought it was a good name, but the first time I said it quick, I went "hum....."

 

Thanks DGL


That is the information I was looking for. I saw about the seats, but wasn't sure if maybe mine were an option instead of the diamonds (red inserts and accents in the car). You're right that I don't have the steering wheel.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the differences between the R with the dynamic pack and the Dynamic R. It would be interesting for someone with a Dynamic R to post their build sheet just so we can see the differences, and see if it is actually listed as that model.

I don't believe the Dynamic R was sold in North America. There was a 'Final Fifty' model instead, which seems pretty similar (Dynamic Pack plus Performance Pack).

As DGL said, yours doesn't have the Performance Active Exhaust, which is part of the Performance Pack - that would be a worthwhile upgrade.

 

That's a good point. When I was looking at the information most of it was from England.

 

We gets all the good toys

The 75 wasn't sold in the US, either.

 

I believe the Dynamic R package was available in the last year, 2015, in North America. Europe received the package earlier. Ngarara has a real unique and rear production of the X150 featuring a lot of the late performance options. The North American 175 only came with the body speed pack kit where the European 75 had all of the RS performance upgrades. I was disappointed when I found this out and traded my 175 for a new 2013 with the dynamic pack and performance exhaust.

 

This thread humbles me...
Here I thought I knew a ton about the models. I also thought the dynamic R was just the name for the XKR-S in its last year as a marketing deployment. A step below that mighty xkrs gt they barely made any of

 

Nah, we is just Jagnerds

No, they were still selling the R-S - the runout models (there was an XK one as well as the Dynamic R and Final Fifty) were simply using up the option packs left in the parts warehouse. They had the standard engine outputs, unlike the R-S (and the 75). The Final Fifty also got the louvred bonnet from the GT.
