Just doing a bit of research on the 2008 xkrs and came across this video on you tube of a 2008 sold in 2012. Is the lucky owner one of our forum members. Very rare and sought after model now. Any member with one, pics and details would be nice. How does it drive compared to the xkr of the same year.

Some of the features that were either unique at the time or part of the package were:

Available in Ultimate Black metallic paint colour with contrasting paint finish to the grille, sills, side power vents and rear splitter and diffuser
Revised front splitter and side sill extensions
Revised rear spoiler and rear bumper fitted with unique splitter and diffuser panel
Vortex 20" forged, 14 spoke lightweight alloy wheels with unique design and red Jaguar "Heritage" centre badge
Alcon R Performance braking system with red callipers
Bowers & Wilkins Premium Sound System
Luxury Sport interior theme with Warm Charcoal full soft-grain leather and Ivory twin needle contrast stitching - 16 way electrically adjustable seating with adjustable bolsters
Piano Black interior finish to facia and centre console
Charcoal Alston headlining
Alloy and leather gear lever with alloy selector gate surround
Flint carpets with Flint carpet mats, edged in Charcoal leather with Ivory stitching
XKR-S badging
Unique XKR-S logo to the instrument cluster, tread-plate, front seat head-restraints and carpet mats
Unique dampers and CATS (Computer Active Technology Suspension) tuning
New steering rack, springs and revised calibrations
Alloy pedals
Reduced ride height (10mm)
Speed electronically limited to 174mph
"On sale in Summer 2008 and limited to just 200 cars in European markets only,"

 

From what I was told by one of the guys from the Dynamics team that developed it, the comparison should be similar to that between a standard 5.0 XKR and a Dynamic Pack. So, lower & stiffer suspension, better handling, better aero (equivalent to the Speed Pack) thus greater high-speed stability. Unlike the 5.0 R-S, there's no power upgrade.

 

Seems to be no joy finding any owners out there or else there keeping quite about owning one. Collectors items i think, surely some member has one. Although the number made was quite small, there must be a few going around.
