...character is unleashed whilst still retaining its pedigree breeding and in cabin Tourer quietness thanks to the rare craftsman look and feel to the interior- the stitched leather dash, traditional look dials, the smell all creates the atmosphere of being glided along in a luxury atmosphere. All the attention to detail is there from the new drive selector in the centre console that will surprise many, as it is a pop-up rotary dial that works brilliantly to the user-friendly touch screen controls that covers most of the other functions. As you would expect, the interior is a sea of finely worked leather, alloy fascia and a striking multifunctional steering wheel. The large front seats are superbly comfortable thanks to 10 way adjustment, keyless start, IPod integration, dual climate control and radar adaptive cruise control all contribute to make this a driving pleasure whether on twisting roads where the slick 6 speed auto and electronic differential power you along wafting along the highway returning a respectable 12.3 litres per 100km.

Bodywork wise the new model gains a 2 louvre bonnet instead of the old style single bulge to reflect the ‘R’ designation thoroughly plus a new front bumper with adjusted air inlets and chrome trimmings, the suspension is electronically controlled and can compensate for road surfaces by as much as 100 times per second to ensure road grip whilst still delivering that grand tourer experience. These new systems in conjunction with the DSC create the Jaguar Drive Optimisation which replaces the CATS system found in current gen cars thus offering more dynamic settings ranging from normal to sports to winter, plus the thrilling everything off mode!

Safety wise it is fitted with thorax airbags with an active restraint system that monitors seat application and determines the proper amount of airbag deployment for maximum safety in the event of an accident.

The XKR retains its light rigid aluminium monocoque chassis in coupe or convertible form with a rapid closing top for temperamental weather, you can go further to personalise your dream with a host of extras available at your local Dealer who can assist and advise with building and making your dream a reality. At $255,000, the XKR is $25,000 dearer than the outgoing model, its also $43,000 dearer than the XFR…… but its not about the numbers with the XKR….. it’s an absolutely beautiful machine with performance and ability to match its looks and that’s well worth the price of membership to an exclusive club!
