Quilted Seats
I went into the Jaguar dealership today to make an appointment for my first annual service. They have a 2014 XKR with performance quilted seats. I never seen quilted factory seats before in the XKR. They looked absolutely stunning-Black with cranberry red stitching. I don't see quilted seats as an option on the Jaguar website. Anyone know anything about quilted seats as an option? When I go in for my service in 2 weeks I'll take some pictures and post them. Attached are some pictures of custom made quilted seats from Leather Car Seats in the UK.

"the Project 7 cabin also lowers the driver’s seat 1.2 inches. "Quilted leather" and plenty of carbon-fiber trim is used liberally throughout the interior.

We may also see "diamond-quilted leather" door panels also in the future. This is another feature of the project 7 sports car.

When I go back for my service visit I'll snap some pictures. The quilted leather center looks real sweet--front and back seats . I'm not sure if the door panel was quilted also.

"Diamond Sew" on XKR/XKR-S Performance Seats
These seats are part of the updated (for 2014) XKR Performance Pack, or an option on the XKR-S. "Diamond Sew" is on the Performance Seats only, so ventilation/cooling is not available. Colors are Charcoal/Red Stitch, Charcoal/Charcoal Stitch, and Ivory/Ivory Stitch; seems like they would look amazing in Caramel, but no such luck. Door Panels are unchanged (no quilting). The XKR Performance Pack also now includes a Suedecloth steering wheel. The switch from the polished Vulcan to the black/diamond-turned Vortex is...unfortunate. Generally Jaguar OEM wheel designs are fantastic, but they have a few real dogs in the line-up.

The Jaguar website, "build your car", says nothing about a performance pack? This sounds more like an interior pack--no suspension upgrade, no tuning upgrade, no exhaust upgrade, no adaptive dynamics upgrade, no tires upgrade. I do like the quilted interior look. The suede steering wheel will get real dirty. Would be nice for the steering wheel to have a flat bottom and hand position mouldings like the Arden(sp) steering wheel. Where did you find this info?
