Jaguar - XKR Coupe - V8 - 2008

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, rated at 420 HP. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shifting, sending power to the rear wheels. The combination of the supercharged V8, rear-wheel drive, and a suspension specially tuned for the XKR makes this both a comfortable long-distance coupé and a distinctly sporty GT.

The car was originally delivered with an initial US retail price of $89,264. The original window sticker is also included with the car.

Beyond the extensive standard equipment, this XKR features a number of attractive extras. The hood is equipped with carbon-fiber air vents, which originally cost $1,364. In addition, the alloy wheels are finished in Anthracite, at that time a $800 option, and the car is equipped with tinted windows valued at $400. The total original value of these extras is $2,564.

The interior blends the luxury expected of a Jaguar Grand Tourer with the sporty characteristics of the XKR. The car has electronically adjustable leather sport seats with ten-way adjustment, electric lumbar support, three-stage heating, and a three-position memory function. Aluminum trim provides a sporty finish, while the leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel is electrically adjustable for height and reach and includes controls for the audio system and cruise control, a memory function, and an automatic Easy-Exit feature.

Comfort equipment includes automatic dual-zone climate control, cruise control with active speed limiter, HomeLink garage door opener, power windows, auto-dimming interior mirror, and Reverse Park Control. Thanks to the Smart Key system, the Jaguar also features 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, integrated 6-CD changer, MP3/WMA support, Dolby Surround, and six speakers. Bluetooth phone connectivity with steering-wheel controls is also present.

On the exterior, it is clearly an XKR. The car features the characteristic hood vents with a 'SUPERCHARGED' script, 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 radio antenna.

Lighting consists of automatically activating and self-leveling Bi-Xenon headlights with Active Front Lighting and headlight washers. The car also has LED taillights, front and rear fog lights, daytime running lights, and a rain sensor. The electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors feature memory, automatic dimming, and auto-dip when reversing.

The XKR rides on 19-inch, 10-spoke 'Jupiter' alloy wheels, with a width of 8.5 inches up front and 9.5 inches at the rear. They are equipped with 245/40 ZR19 tires on the front and 275/35 ZR19 tires at the rear. This example features the optional Anthracite finish for the wheels.

Under the hood, the XKR stands apart from a regular XK. The car features a specially tuned eCATS electronic active suspension, independent suspension all around, and Dynamic Stability Control. The speed-sensitive steering with variable ratio is also specifically tuned to the sportier character of the XKR.

The 4.2-liter DOHC Supercharged V8 delivers 420 HP and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift and overdrive. The fully active sport exhaust ends in four polished tailpipes and contributes to the distinctive sound of the supercharged V8. The braking system consists of four ventilated discs 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-tuned Dynamic Stability Control. It also has ISOFIX/LATCH anchors for child seats and seatbelts with pretensioners.

This Jaguar currently has 126,142 miles on the odometer and features the matching-numbers 4.196 cc Supercharged V8. The car is sold 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 420 HP from a Supercharged V8, this XKR presents an exceptionally powerful look. At the same time, its extensive leather interior, electrically adjustable and heated seats, Alpine audio, navigation, Bi-Xenon lighting, and Smart Key system offer the comfort you would expect from a Jaguar Grand Tourer.

The combination of the elegant XK body, rear-wheel drive, and the characterful 4.2-liter supercharged V8 makes the XKR a compelling representative of a generation of performance cars where large V8 engines and classic Grand Touring traits were still central.
