according to this:

XFR was faster than a V12 Vantage but they haven't had an XKR on the show since 2007.

They've got a new XJ on next week so they haven't completely forgotten about Jags...

There have been some cameos of the XKR since then:

A few months back OCTANE had a comparison test between the XKR75 and an N420 Vantage. While the staff liked both cars the XKR75 won mostly due to its much greater power (100+hp) and a harder edged nature. It was also quite a bit cheaper. I would like to see a road test of the 2011 XKR since it would likely be a sub 4 sec 0-60 runner. It might also be able to do the 1/4 mile in the high elevens.
