Rare Vesuvius Edition Supercharged Sport for auction. 
4.2L Supercharged V8
AC, heated seats, sunroof, keyless entry, navigation, rear headrest DVD's, center console cooler, and various other amenities that evoke opulence. 

I'll be completely transparent about every known aspect of this Sport.  I am listing this for a friend who does not have an eBay account.  The title is clear and in his name.  A copy of the title can be made available for serious parties.

The entire vehicle was repainted several months ago by a professional body shop.  It started with wanting to paint the door handles, rear hatch trim, and lower body trim to match the rest of the body.  It ended up with the entire vehicle painted to eliminate rock chips and scratches too.  The Sport was NOT in an accident.

This Sport does have a few issues that need to be addressed but we are offering full disclosure.  Read carefully so nobody has their tender feelings hurt.
 
The passenger seat does not move backward or forward.  All other motion functions of the seat work as intended.
The CD eject button on the radio fell out.  The button is not available by itself so the entire unit will need to be replaced.  Used ones are readily available off ebay and from junk yards or upgrade to an aftermarket unit.
Three factory keys are included but only one of them has functional keyless entry.  The functional unit is new and in perfect condition.  The other two are useful as spares/back-ups.
The rear sway bar bushings need to be replaced.  There will be a mild clunk in the rear suspension until they are replaced.
Clunk present in front EAS struts (Electronic Air Suspension).  May require replacement of just a bushing or the entire unit.  Arnott has replacements with a lifetime guarantee for $365 each.
Lastly, there is a "transmission fault" that pops up on the info center in the instrument binnacle.  The error has been checked out several times by different shops.  The code is P081C.  The consensus is that the error is a false positive.  The transmission is fine but the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) incorrectly thinks something is wrong.  The transmission operates flawlessly.  The error message is merely an annoyance. 

All pictures featured were taken with vehicle in "Access Mode", therefore lower than it's stock driving height.  The Sport has NOT been lowered.

Recent service includes oil change and new OEM supercharger cooling pump.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.

BMW X6 M said to lap the 'Ring in 8:20

Fri, Jul 17 2015

Bimmer Today reports that the German rag Auto Zeitung ran an Audi RS3 and a BMW X6 M around the Nurburgring together, and the hotted-up sports activity vehicle came in just five seconds behind the white-hot hatch. Driven by 'Ring regular Horst von Saurma, the RS3 ran its lap in 8 minutes, 15 seconds, and the X6 M ran an 8:20. If those times are accurate, that makes the X6 M the second fastest production SUV on the lap-time list according to Wikipedia: ahead of it is the 550-hp Range Rover Sport SVR, which ran a time of 8:14. That time puts BMW's 575-horsepower, 5,200-pound SUV four seconds ahead of the time registered by the last-gen, 555-hp X6 M, and well ahead of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S that Sport Auto clocked an 8:34 with. It would not, however, match the predictions that X6 M project manager Herbert Bayerl made for it in an interview with Sport Auto earlier this year. Bayerl said "The new BMW X6 M moves at the level of M3," speaking of the E92 BMW M3 that Sport Auto ran around the 'Ring in 8:05. It is, though, two seconds faster than the E46 M3, which lapped in 8:22. Bayerl called out the Range Rover Sport SVR directly, saying, "We have been traveling much faster in testing and have undercut the time of Range Rover several times," and "We don't need any special attachments to go faster." Auto Zeitung's report on the lap is only for subscribers so we'll have to wait for more official news. For the apples-to-apples comparison we'll be looking forward to Sport Auto's hot lap, then we'll know if the Range Rover has anything to fear. Related Video:
