XKR 75?

[The Pits]

Anyone know any more about these? Are they really only available in dark grey?

[Triple7]

'fraud so. They come only in the new Stratus Grey. Only 75 will be made, think only 20 for UK. Much tweaked, more aggressive in terms of performance, ride & handling. £85k.

Expect the tweaks on this model to be available as options on the 2011MY XK's.

I've read all about the car but things seem to have gone very quiet. Mark Hales in Octane tested a so called 'XKR75' recently against an XJ220. It was in bright red! Hence my confusion over the colour.

Methinks it wasn't really a '75'. Shame. It's a nice idea for a comparison.

Might well have been a development car.

Sounds like it was the 'Speed Pack' XKR. The '75 isn't out yet, not 'til next month & pretty sure they all sold now.

Yes, read that article and didn't think it looked like a 75 either. There were also some inconsistencies in the TVR articles as well. Not great...

Saw a '75' at Stratstone in Slough yesterday and it looked fantastic - apart from the decals on the sides, which were already bubbling!

Is it possible to have an XK/R/75 without the rear seats (ie as a pure 2-seater)?

'fraid it's not a XKR75, but a 'regular' XKR 'Speed Pack' in Slough.

What - with dodgy stickers on?! Those shifty fkers... Standard XKR looks very nice too though.

The stickers are dealer fit accessories. Yup, the 75 comes only in Stratus grey. Not black with ivory.........

Nah no rear seat delete option.

Highlights include a wedge more power and the front suspension uprights are revised which makes it a much sharper tool on the backroads.
