The fabulous Jaguar XKR Coupe
Welcome to my Jaguar XKR web site. Within this site you will find out all about my stunning Jaguar XKR with R features.
The Jaguar XK8, and the XKR in particular, are simply sensational vehicles and this 2000 model in Anthracite (black metallic) with Oatmeal leather interior attracts more than its share of attention mainly due to its factory fitted “R features”. The "R" package includes the stunning Oyster coloured 20 inch BBS two piece alloy wheels that hold up each corner and the huge Jaguar branded Brembo brakes peeking through the wheel spokes. Remember, this vehicle was built way back in 2000 when these two features were only on the most exclusive cars, especially 20 inch wheels.
Prior to the XKR I owned and restored a 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12. The XKR was Jaguar’s modern reincarnation of the classic E-Type and just like the “E” in its day, it provides a very fast and attractive supercar. However unlike the E-Type, the XKR is quite sophisticated and provides its powerful performance in a quiet and refined package.
The Jaguar XKR is a pleasure to drive. It’s very quiet, very comfortable, stacked with standard luxury fittings that you expect from Jaguar and it has great road presence - it really stands out from the mundane family hacks and plastic performance “rice burners” that clog our roads.
