That is seriously good looking car. Sounds incredible too.

Took my 2011 Black and Speed Pack XKR through France, Germany, Austria down to the Italian lakes, then back via Switzerland. A true continental GT. The XKR is a keeper

Don't let the secret out! Wonderful cars.

Lovely cars! 👌🏻 Good video mate, getting much better the more you’re doing! 💪🏻

I highly recommend putting Michelin Pilot sports on this car. It transformed my convertible 5L XKR Supercharged to 610 HP and really grips the road, totally amazing the difference it made, the back end stays firm even in wet conditions. It’s a very comfy rocket that sticks to the bends. AMAZING, get all the thrills of a supercar at beer money with reliability! GREAT FUN, I will never sell this car its performance is spectacular with the very best engine sounds of any car.

I had a 2007 4.2 and it was as versatile as mentioned here. It was my only car and a daily driver. I only sold it because of financial difficulties because of COVID and would have another in a heartbeat. In my opinion it is a different car than an F type and a better one.

I love my XKR. Nothing like the sound of a V8 first thing in the morning!

Fabulous, especially in Stratos grey. Looks like I may have found my next car.

I own 2… an updated 12 xkr and 13 xkrs…. When something is this good you just got to have 2. Can we believe they only made a total of 55-56k of these for the entire world?!? Blows my mind

I was at the dealer for service on my F type S today and they had just sold a beautiful xkr. I love my F type but that xkr was NICE!

I had a ride in one of these, as a passenger. A mighty impressive machine. The back kicked out very easy 👀

In 2010 I bought an ‘07 XKR 4.2 for £36k and drove it for 3 years before selling it for £24k .. drove like a new car and only cost me £4K per year in depreciation. Miss it.

2024 I Wish Jaguar Bring Back the 2+2 XKR. I Want a 2015 XKR.

Great car, great review could well be a future classic. Please review the R171 SLK 55 AMG. My car 😁

Having now owned both, the XKR wins with the 5.0

I own almost an exact copy of the car you drove, except mine is black with the cream interior, but a 60 plate. I use it as my daily drive, and will probably use it as such until either it dies or I die! As for running costs, I average about 24mpg, but on a long run, if you can resist the temptation to overuse the right pedal, you can hit 29ish mpg. Definitely find a Jag specialist rather than a main dealer and even servicing costs can be kept under control. Bang for your buck wise, you'll have trouble doing better. I highly recommend the experience.

Styling wise, the F type, seems very short at the rear, to my eye, and the front a bit blunt and clunky.. personal thing . I think the XKR a bit more elegant, resolved and cohesive throughout.

Grantley Design do a superb nose kit for these XK Jags🤩

Funny scratches on the window

Have you tried an xk 5 ltr naturally aspirated. Beautiful

I'm not so sure. The 3.0 V6 S F-Type is a different car certainly, but it has similar performance to the bigger engined XKR that you feature in this video, much lower road tax and potentially does more mpg. I admit I haven't driven the XKR (on my list to drive ASAP) but I have driven the aforementioned F-Type. The F-Type was exceptional on the motorway and very comfortable. I concede that boot space on them is poor! In terms of styling, I think the F-Type makes the XKR look a bit old. I'm still undecided but for a purchase I'm considering, I'm still leaning towards the F-Type. You need to do an F-Type video!

Looks like new.

200kg lighter than the new M2. I test drove an XKR back to back with an Aston DBS V12. I loved both but the XKR was better in almost every way apart from exhaust note.

JLR made a big mistake going for F/E Pace only imho.

that will be the traction control kicking in hence th on off throttle responce turn it off but beware back end is livley

Had a test drive in one many moons ago, think it was a 2009 one and it wanted to spin the rear wheels all the time. Think they did revisions in 2010 with a different diff.

I have the XK 5ltr, its all the car you need. Not sure if its worth the extra money for an XKR. I have never been able to put my foot all the way down so far, because the car fly's even half way down.

You must be local, coming past Worcester at 13:40.

Low fuel light…..standard! 😂

If you blur out the speedo then you don't have to be mindful.

If you need to ask "F-type vs XKR" then you don't get that they're entirely different cars for different purposes. F-type is a sportscar for a Sunday morning blast, XKR is a GT for a cruise to St Tropez

To answer the question... NO 😂

Merc made the best car in this class back in 1989 with the R129.

My neighbour stopped my wife the other day , said I think the exhaust has hole in it , she said no it's suppose sounds like that . ?.......good isn't it

cabin noise seems high.

E-type is the best ever

They never got the front right on the X150- the nose cone lacks subtly and it's a bit too 'try hard.' Shame because the rest of the car is pleasing to the eye. The XK8 was better looking in my humble opinion- more E-Type cues, smaller. The rear end of the X150 is positively corpulent. If you took this car on the A road between Ambleside and Coniston, a well driven Peugeot 205 GTI would leave it for dead- despite the power disparity- the 150 is just too big and bulky- the F-Type is even worse.
