If you are in for speed (brutal acceleration AND cornering), go for a 991 or even 992 Turbo (S).
Yet if, however, you are a gentleman and like to travel both fast and in style… then consider an XK(R).
For sure, there are now many faster cars around.

 

I'm the same person and just like to use my older brother Barry's name as my main account cause he got killed back in 2000 and really became my inspiration for loving Jaguars.But let me burst your bubble very quick...did you know those cars suck after 0-60 time cause I noticed most don't have any top end just like i gapped the hell out of that BMW M series after 6 seconds when the 0 to 60 expired and he only was winning then cause i was trying to prevent the tires from spinning🤡I don't even think an XKR 0-60 times is accurate for whatever time they came up with cause my XKR spins tires like A LOT everytime you're at a complete stop and slightly hit the gas for all of those that know what i'm talking about that own 1.So imagine what kind of 0-60 time it could have if the tires were actually hooking...also a car is only dogged out if you driving it with dirt poor maintenance and do it yourself mods where the engine revs funny when you rev it like most hondas and old cars from the 90s that sound like it's having a hard time trying to bog down after you rev them.

U got all those cars named like that's special when this is what the old 4.2L XKR can do against them in this youtube video and the 5.0L XKR is much MUCH faster than the previous generation 4.2L XKR.Copy&paste that in your web browser:

Also what car you know that can hang with a V12 Aston Martin and tie with 1 in a race? This what the 5.0L XKR can do and you can copy&paste this too:

You needed receipts to kill all that false clout about other cars ,so now you have them.This could all be a lie about something written down when this is actual footage of what an XKR can do in a race

 

Barry, my 991 TTS was listed with a top speed of 330 km/h, even though I never went beyond 300 even on an early Sunday morning on a German autobahn. While our XKRs are - still today - very fast cars with a lot of torque, there are definitely faster cars around, And on long and windy country roads (or even on track, if you like that): better do not attempt to compete with a modern Porsche. It would turn into an embarrassing experience…

 

Everytime i came across a porche,people are scared to race me with them.Idk why.Then they try to be funny where they weasel their way through traffic and get far ahead of me and take off where i'm too far back to show them who's boss if they won't afraid to line it up from a roll LoL

 

I am not attempting to make you reconsider your view. I have simply reported my own experience. According to this, technology-wise Porsche is miles ahead of Jaguar. In terms of style, the opposite may hold. And (not only) for this reason, I am back here.

 

When it comes to interior,that's no lie being my XKR seems like it's outdated with features that dates all the way back from 2007.But i seen what certain model porches can do and I know how well they're engineered to be very light.But people with anything less than a GT2 model seem like they're scared to line it up to prove what it can do against a Jag😎

 

 

Don't make me go get any more receipts about what an XKR can do cause i'll put an end to all the clout every car brand have once and for all LoL

 

*sigh*
That was short-lived...
Now I shall re-update my "Ignore" list. Again.

 

I really don’t want to jump in here but…..

I’m going to say speed as observed here’s likely all in the hands of the drivers.

For empirical data, time slips tell quite a bit. A stock 5 litre XKR’s going to be a 12+ second car. A stock hellcat’s going to be in the 11’s. Most other performance cars in the class are also going to be in the 11s. A 2011 Porsche GT3 is also going to be faster in every way even without any “tech”.

Also look at the 60-120 times for the competition, should settle the debate.

 

Are you sure?? I'm almost convinced that the 13 XKR is the fastest car EVER built!!🤔😉

 

I can prove it is💪i make guys sorry they ever bought hell cats everytime i raced 1.I swear to god😎I wish i had it on camera cause it will shatter so many dreams🤣I don't even think a hell cat can beat the gen 3 or the gen 4 SRT Vipers when a 4.2L Jag will leave them in it's dust like in that link i posted.Then i go on youtube and it's like those cars only got cool names and they lose to everything they race.I'm seriously not impressed and don't believe none of the hype they have after what I've seen

 

But it's an interesting topic lol

 

People that really know how to drive them, i wouldn't doubt they can get that kind of time out of them.But the way i seen people drive them,they can't make them live up to their name out here in these streets🤣

 

And that, I think, settles the debate. What you see on the streets is the limits of the drivers, not their cars and that, doesn’t mean they’re slower than the XKR.

 

Are you SURE they knew they were racing...?😎

 

Street racing is not cool and usually done by inebriated fools with no respect for others. The fact that its still being discussed by gentlemen and an obvious tw*t is simply disappointing, and reckless. Take it to the track where the talentless and underpowered are truly exposed. Th OP is no longer participating either.

 

Do what I do and disengage.

 

I even let them got sort of a headstart when I slowed down and waited for them doing like 30mph on the highway so they can catch up while i put it in Sport mode and Dynamic mode cause that's all you need to give them the gapple sauce.When they caught up to me, they tried to get the jump on me when I heard them smack the gas to the floor so they can shoot passed me cause you know how the motor gets real loud when you flooring it.But that only lasted 3 or 4 seconds for them to enjoy a false victory in their Hellcat before my Jag left them about 6 car lengths behind where i made it to my exit within only just 8 seconds of racing them🫠

 

I make sure absolutely NO traffic is no where in sight when ever I race people where it's only a straight stretch and if you don't see the safety in that,then idk what else to tell you for loving the BS laws they came up with about that sort of racing.With that said,it's always a safe race when ever i do it.If you gone have a car like that, no point in buying it if you can't show people what it's made of.Btw i have no track skills to feel like turning corners to flip my Jag or worst so no point in trying to bother when you also really have to learn those tracks before you call yourself driving on them and find yourself flying over a wall in a totalled car for not being able to stop in time at high speeds and learning those tracks takes quite a while so that don't happen and that's just time I don't got.All i'm trying to find out is what your car is made of up under the hood to prove who's the 1 driving the real beast in these streets💪
