Description from the seller
This copy concerns a 2008 Jaguar XKR Coupé, finished in Midnight Black Metallic (PEF). Under the hood sits the 4.2-liter Supercharged V8 with 32 valves, delivering 420 HP. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with a sequential shift function, sending power to the rear wheels. The combination of the supercharged V8, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis calibrated specifically for the XKR makes this both a comfortable long-distance coupé and a distinctly sporty Grand Tourer.
The car was originally delivered with an MSRP of $89,264. The original window sticker is also present with the car.
In addition to the extensive standard equipment, this XKR is equipped with a number of attractive extras. The hood features carbon fiber air openings, which originally cost $1,364. Additionally, the alloy wheels are finished in Anthracite, which was an extra $800 at the time, and the car has tinted windows worth $400. The total original value of these extras is $2,564.
The interior blends the luxury associated with a Jaguar Grand Tourer with the sporty characteristics of the XKR. The car has electrically adjustable leather sport seats with ten-way adjustment, electrically adjustable lumbar support, three-way heating, and a memory function with three positions. Aluminum trim provides a sporty finish, while the leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel is electrically adjustable in height and reach and includes controls for the audio system and cruise control, a memory function, and an automatic Easy-Exit feature.
Comfort features include automatic dual-zone climate control, cruise control with active speed limiter, HomeLink garage door opener, electrically operated windows, auto-dimming interior mirror and Reverse Park Control. Thanks to the Smart Key system, the Jaguar also offers keyless access and a start button, so the key does not need to be removed from the pocket to open or start the car.
In the center of the dashboard is a 7-inch touchscreen that controls various vehicle functions and the DVD navigation system. For audio, the XKR is equipped with a Premium Alpine 160-watt audio system with AM/FM radio, an integrated 6-CD changer, MP3/WMA support, Dolby Surround and six speakers. Bluetooth hands-free connectivity with steering wheel controls is also present.
On the outside, it is clearly a true XKR. The car features the characteristic hood vents with a 'SUPERCHARGED' inscription, aluminum finished upper and lower grilles, nickel trim around the side windows and on the side vents, and a body-colored rear spoiler with an integrated audio antenna.
Lighting consists of automatic on/off and self-leveling Bi-Xenon headlights with Active Front Lighting and headlight washers. The car also has LED rear lights, front and rear fog lights, daytime running lights, and a rain sensor. The electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors include memory, automatic dimming, and auto-tilt-down when reversing.
The XKR rides on 19-inch 10-spoke 'Jupiter' alloy wheels, with a width of 8.5 inches front and 9.5 inches rear. They are equipped with 245/40 ZR19 front tires and 275/35 ZR19 rear tires. This example features the optional Anthracite finish on the wheels.
Under the skin, the XKR stands out from a standard XK. The car is equipped with a specially calibrated XKR-suited eCATS electronically active suspension, independent suspension on all four corners, and Dynamic Stability Control. The speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering with variable gearing is also specifically tuned for the sportier character of the XKR.
The 4.2-liter DOHC Supercharged V8 produces 420 HP and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with a sequential shift function. The fully active performance exhaust ends in four polished exhaust tips and contributes to the characteristic sound of the compressor V8. The braking system consists of four ventilated disc brakes with ABS, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Hydraulic Brake Assist.
In terms of safety, the Jaguar is equipped with front and side airbags, Adaptive Restraint Technology System (ARTS), tire pressure monitoring, Traction Control, and the XKR-specific Dynamic Stability Control. It also has ISOFIX/LATCH restraints for child seats and seatbelts with belt tensioners.
This Jaguar has currently 126,142 miles on the odometer and features the matching-numbers 4,196 cc Supercharged V8. The car is delivered with an American title and European/Dutch import documentation. All import duties and VAT have already been paid.
With its Midnight Black Metallic bodywork, Anthracite wheels, carbon fiber hood openings, and a 420 HP Supercharged V8, this XKR presents a particularly powerful look. At the same time, thanks to its extensive leather interior, electrically adjustable and heated seats, Alpine audio system, navigation, Bi-Xenon lighting and Smart Key system, it offers the comfort expected of a Jaguar Grand Tourer.
The combination of the elegant XK body, rear-wheel drive, and the distinctive 4.2-liter supercharged V8 makes the XKR an interesting representative of a generation of performance cars where large V8 engines and classic Grand Touring characteristics were still central.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
