Premier Performance Motorcars is offering this stunning low mileage supercharged 2007 Jaguar XKR. With just over 47k on the odometer this quintessentially British crafted luxury 2+2 grand tourer is finished in a beautiful Radiance Metallic Red with a luscious Caramel Leather interior. The 32-valve 4.2 liter supercharged v8 with dual overhead cams makes a tire smoking 420hp and 413 lb-ft and an unbelievably intoxicating exhaust note. This near mint Jaguar has a sharp and responsive 6 speed automatic tiptronic transmission with paddle shifters that will keep you downshifting just to hear the glorious exhaust pop and rumble.

With a very reasonable price this is your chance to own a wonderful driver’s car that combines the luxury of Jaguar’s legendary heritage with a confidence inspiring fire breathing drive train, and stunning looks courtesy of the man who designed the Aston Martin Vantage. Whether you are cruising in comfort at low rpms, or driving a mountain road in sport mode, the XKR is an absolute joy to drive and is sure to put a smile on your face. Has clean CarFax.

“Besides the driver's seat, the best vantage point from which to enjoy Jaguar's supercharged XKR may be from behind it. All the better to admire the sinuousness of its arching fenders and tapered rump, this vantage point puts you front and center for a guttural blast from the XKR's four exhaust pipes. Jaguar designers, engineers, and product types have given the marque's "Grace, Pace, Space" mantra a shot of protein powder and sent the XK model to a spin class. She's fitter, trimmer, lighter, and hotter for sure--yet elegant as ever. 

The transformation from standard to R spec is straightforward, and chief engineer Mike Cross summarizes it succinctly. "Working with [the naturally aspirated model] as our base, our brief was to create 'XK plus 30 percent'--the ultimate sports GT for the real world." The 4.2-liter V-8 gets a supercharger and intercooler (something Jaguar has been at since 1995) that cranks up the heat from 300 to 420 horsepower; variable cam timing on the intake side is new as well.

The only transmission offered or needed is the superb ZF six-speed automatic employed by many upscale Europeans. It allows you the choice of standard drive, Sport drive (higher shift points, more driver adaptation), or full manual control via paddle shifters done Ferrari style: Tug the right paddle for upshifts, the left for down. The aforementioned quad-tipped exhaust is of the active variety, meaning that baffles adjust the burble between quiet for cruising and muscular under hard accel. Front spring rates are up 38 percent, while the rears are 24 percent stiffer. The steering is firmed up for more weight and quicker response. The Computer Active Technology Suspension (or CATS--cute) damping system is recalibrated for firmer body control. There's but one minor change to the structure, the addition of a rear-shock tower strut brace. 

More go demands more whoa, so the R gets badged calipers and the front rotor size increases from 12.8 to 14.0 inches. Visual upgrades are subtle: all-mesh grillework up front in a revised fascia, functional hood vents that proclaim "Supercharged," aluminum-finished side vents, some badging. The interior gets more supportive sport seats, and much of the logically designed IP is faced in a terrific-looking, latticed aluminum trim. For those who prefer "timber" to "ally," lustrous walnut fascias are a no-cost option. Mat the gas pedal, and 0-to-60 comes up in 4.9 seconds, says Jaguar, and that feels right to us. The XKR will pull hard and strong to its electronically limited 155-mph top speed. After a dozen years, the company has learned how to manage superchargers. There's no bucking, spitting, or coughing on the overrun. No peakiness in the powerband. Just a smooth, strong pull from idle to redline. The soundtrack is blended with one part supercharger whine and two parts pure rumbling, V-8 exhaust. A big shout-out to the transmission for its part. There's a clear difference between the three modes. In drive, it melts from gear to gear. In Sport, it's firmer and more responsive. In manual, it shifts quickly with a solid boot, and the rev-matching blips on downshifts are sweet. Except for possible power losses due to its being a torque-converter automatic, this is a better solution for this type of car than a more expensive and complicated sequential manual.

Jaguar has done the job here. The XKR is what it ought to be: a fast, well-crafted, and hyper-attractive gran turismo that serves up a well-synthesized blend of sports and luxury car. This Maximum Strength XK provides a sportier driving experience than its too-soft predecessor's, yet eats miles with ease, while soothing and exciting its occupants. What more could you ask for? Perhaps a quaint cottage in the south of France where you could park yours.”
