Jaguar - XKR Coupe - V8 - NO RESERVE - 2008

This exemplar is a Jaguar XKR Coupé from 2008, finished in Midnight Black Metallic (PEF). Under the hood lies 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 shift, sending power to the rear wheels. The combination of the compressor-V8, rear-wheel drive, and the XKR-tuned chassis makes this both a comfortable long-distance coupé and a distinctly sporty GT.

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

In addition to extensive standard equipment, this XKR is equipped with a number of attractive extras. The hood features carbonfiber air intakes, which originally cost $1,364. Additionally, the light alloy wheels are finished in Anthracite, originally a $800 option, and the car has tinted windows worth $400. The total original value of these extras amounts to $2,564.

The interior blends the luxury expected of a Jaguar Grand Tourer with the sporty characteristics of the XKR. The car features electrically adjustable leather sport seats with ten-way adjustment, electrically adjustable 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 depth and features 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, power windows, auto-dimming interior mirror, and Reverse Park Control. Thanks to the Smart Key system, the Jaguar also offers keyless entry and a start button, so the key does not need to be taken out of your pocket to open or start the car.

Central to 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 sound system with AM/FM radio, an integrated 6-CD changer, MP3/WMA support, Dolby Surround, and six speakers. Bluetooth telephone connectivity with steering wheel controls is also present.

Externally, it is clear this is the XKR variant. The car features the characteristic hood vents with a 'SUPERCHARGED' inscription, aluminum upper and lower grilles, nickel trim around the B-pillars and side vents, and a body-colored rear spoiler with an integrated radio aerial.

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

The XKR rides on 19-inch 10-spoke 'Jupiter' alloy wheels, with an 8.5-inch width front and 9.5-inch width rear. They are fitted 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 differentiates itself from a standard XK with a XKR-tuned eCATS electronically active suspension, independent suspension all around, and Dynamic Stability Control. The speed-sensitive steering with variable ratio is also specifically tuned for 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 a sequential shifting function. The fully active sport exhaust ends in four polished exhaust tips and contributes to the distinctive sound of the compressor-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 features ISOFIX/LATCH attachment points 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 been paid.

With its Midnight Black Metallic exterior, Anthracite wheels, carbonfiber hood openings, and 420 HP Supercharged V8, this XKR presents a particularly powerful look. At the same time, its extensive leather interior, electrically adjustable and heated seats, Alpine audio system, navigation, Bi-Xenon lighting, and Smart Key system offer the comfort expected of a Jaguar Grand Tourer.

The combination of the elegant XK body, rear-wheel drive, and the characterful 4.2-liter compressor-V8 makes the XKR an interesting representative of a generation of performance cars in which large V8 engines and classic Grand Touring attributes were still central.
