RE: 186mph Jaguar XKR-S Revealed

If Jaguar were to enter Touring Cars...............

I'm not normally into 'posh' fast motors, but this one is an exception. Sort of in the, ahem, 'same vain' as a Lexus LF-A... But at about 25% the cost!

EFA

I love it

But as asked before VX with S/C can make more power

[S3000]

awesome car..

[zebedee]

I don't think a big enough bucket to contain all the 'WANT' I have for this car exists in this world

[ParanoidAndroid]

Stunning, much more like it. No detail on the interior, regular XK or semi racer like a GT2?

[whythem]

The Jags look remarkable value compared the Astons.

awesome car, finally the xkr's are producing the power they should have in the first place, personally I would take this over any current aston martin,

are they allowed to use the denotation 'rs'. I thought that Audi may have owned the 'rights' to this?

No problems there, Ford and Porsche were using RS long before Audi I think! Skoda also use it in the VRS, Aston Martin etc etc, it isn't very precious!

[toohuge]

For me there is too much junk on the bonnet etc and it makes it look like a monaro/vx8r thing.

Not nice.

Makes buying a used XKR a good prospect this summer.

Yep stick a Paramount boost upgrade on it and you have 600 BHP
Having said that if they do a roadster I could be tempted out of the Vantage.

This clearly isn't the car for you

Were I in the fortunate position of "considering" either the new A-M Virage or this XKR I'd have to say the XK is mighty appealing.


(except of course in comparison to the old V600 LM Virage )

REALLY nice but can it be specced with 3 pedals and a gearstick?

(don`t jump on me, I would just prefer it that way)

But I love the look of the LF-A too, though.

Me too! C'mon Jag'waaar, make a decent 6-on-the-floor lol stick shift for chrissakes...

[ellisd82]

Kinda looks like a Toyota Supra. Not a bad thing and obviously better looking. They used to look abit Aston, also not a bad thing lol
Great looking car and nice power figures!

[kbee540]

Dammit. How am I going to explain to my wife about the little silvery maps of the Phillipines that are now decorating my calvins??

Have always admired Jags and think that what they do they've always done well. Just a bit too 'old' for me. The XFR was the first Jag I've ever really wanted, but this thing really tweaks my unmentionables.

Might be a bit OTT with the bodykit and I'd have to think about ditching the spoiler should the bank and SWMBO ever consent to my ownership of one. But, the fix to the headlights has made such a difference - always thought the current ones made the front end look a bit dopey.

Performance v Price-wise, Aston should hang their head in shame...

[Likes Fast Cars]

Love it! Love it! Love it!

THIS is a car. Even in that blue colour I’d still have one.

Time to update the fantasy garage.
