I have in the back of my mind picking up a 2006 Victory XKR. There are several questions I have based on the Jaguar literature / advertisements, and pictures I've seen. Plus when one already has an XKR and plans to get another...might as well get all those other options (Red Brembos, bluetooth, adaptive cruise, carbon fiber inlays, etc...). Hopefully some of you with 2006 XKR Victory types can answer?
1. Do the Victory XKR versions have powerfold mirrors (Jaguar literature makes clear that the XK8's get them....not sure if they were already included in 2006 XKR's)?
2. Based on some pictures I've seen, do the 2006 Victory XKR versions come with both the Navigation System and the rear view mirror with compass display (or did folks add the XK8 rear view mirror to their XKR's)?
3. Does anyone have a Victory XKR that did not come "decked out" the red Brembos, drilled rotors, or Adaptive Cruise Control?
Thanks.

 

Basing my answers on my European equivalent of the Victory, the 4.2-S:

1. yes, but they're not automatic, you have to pull the mirror adjustment joystick towards you;

2. nav yes, but not the mirror compass (bit pointless having both)

3. all three were standard fit.

 

Nope, I don't have adaptive cruise control on mine 4.2-S.

In your orthopedic shoes?

 

It's always dangerous to make assumptions about specifications but the standard fitting for the Final Series 'Victory' and 'S' models was Cruise Control with ASL (Automatic Speed Limiter).

In the UK, Adaptive Cruise Control was one of the few extra cost options on the XKR. It may have been the same in the US or offered as a no cost option. It was not available on the XK8. Where Adaptive Cruise Control was fitted, ASL was deleted.

I have adaptive cruise and ASL plus forward alert.

 

I wish I knew what this means cause it makes no sence in Russian
Anyway I've got "usual" cruise control + ASL and no bluetooth.

 

Lol, according to Google Translator, it was "sorry, my mistake"

 

In real Russian you get something like "I'm standing (still) repaired"...

 

My Victory Ed. does not have adaptive cruise, it was an option. Power fold mirrors are standard. Frankly, I didn't realize I had them for almost a year, until I was reversing and tried to dip the curbside mirror with the switch in the center position.

 

Oh yes, I remember now. I entered "I stand corrected"

 

That was way too much for Google.
BTW: Nice "Victory" for sale, though I prefer original rims:

For less money I might rather have this one...

(It is naturally-aspirated though, which I like)

Although the CL ad for the XKR doesn't say how many miles it has, one has to assume it's low miles given the price. There are still a fair number of these very low-mileage 2006 models available. Wish I had room for another

ETA: Now this is low miles. 7792 miles on a 2006 XKR
