Strange reply from Aston man above, with two XJr-S' in his garage..........were these not the "equivalent" in their day?

A spoiler on the back of a 90s Jag is no different to gills on a '10s Jag.
Moving with the time.
Personally i love the styling! In baby blue!

Not dissing your RS's, 'twas just an observation that these were the "animal" incarnation of the XJS, Lister excepted, as the XKR-s GT is today, evolution dictates styling mon ami
Disagree.XJR-S is to XJS as DBS is to DB9 ---> Tasteful styling add ons with a hint of mild aggression.
XKRS-GT is to XKR as SLS Black Series is to SLS ---> Tacky add ons with a strong dose of boy racer, hardly in keeping with the stature/prestige of the car.
Would be nice to see some pictures particularly if in a different colour vs the white one I have seen in official releases
Personally I think it is too much "sport in the face" and would still prefer a "normal" XKR over it, a little bit like a XJR-S vs XJS to make an example already used in this dicussion
Not that I do not like a track version for a Jag but would like more subdle changes

XJr-S is the XKR-S of today,
the XKR-S GT takes it up a level again pretty mutch like this did to the XJr-S.....

then of course, as already mentioned, theres the Lister XJS........
Jaguar have to keep moving forwards or get left behind even further in the Supercar stakes. There was a time when they were destroying the likes of Maserati, Ferarri, MB, Aston on the race track and could keep their heads high on the road. Seems the last 2 decades they have become third rate performance cars. Great benifit to me as i just aquired an XKR for pennies compared to the Maserati Spyder and DB7's I was looking at. Same or better performance for half the money!

Sod what it looks like, they've finally managed to beat the XJ220's time around the ring in the thing. When the XKR-S came out and was trumpeted as being the fastest accelerating Jag of all time Chris Harris pointed out that although it might get to the first corner in front of a 220, from then on it wouldn't know which way the old girl went. So now they've finally made one that goes around corners as well as it annihilates the straights.
The unanswered question is can you get this version with the Transit body work?
