Well he is pretty sport on. Who ever he is...

1. Great sound
2. Wonderful engine.
3. Beautiful to behold..
4. Cruser rater than a track car...
5. Great seats... he did miss that the rear seats are super for kids... one of the main reasons that I bought mine...
6. Dated transmission...
7. Dated interior

Question, do all facelift have the leaper on the rear trunk?


All in all a stunning car...

2012+ models all have the leaper in the back and replaces the trunk blade that spells out JAGUAR.

Enjoyed it. Looks like my XKR without the red calipers and in a coupe. However I have the stock "active" exhaust and not the "sport" exhaust he was referring to. I bought it used so I didnt have the chance myself to option it myself (because I would have made it a dynamic pack/black pack with sport exhaust not just black pack alone). When I drove one (not mine) on the track I found it with the nannies "on" to be very stable and a absolute joy to throttle....I love it.... I want the F-Type as well...but will never give up my XK's. That being said I need a BIGGER GARAGE.

btw my other XK is a Italian Racing Red XKR-S coupe. Yeeeeehaw!!!

Default Splitter

I don't get how they made a new splitter for the 2010 models to line up with the new bumpers lower grill but didn't revise it to fit the 12+ models front lip.

Default Great review of the last XKR

The XKR is going out in style. I was hoping Jaguar would have one more iteration of the XKR to update it.
