2011 Jaguar XK-R
The old Jaguar XK often received a bad rap as the old man’s sports car, but the redesigned XK, with added chrome grills and hood louvres gives the new car a far more sinister look. The XK coupe now sports a perfectly executed rear with more Italian design cues than a reworked E-type.
Inside the 2011 XKR the changes are largely limited to the removal of the J-gate shifter in favour of the hockey-puck style “JaguarDrive selector,” improved leather trim and the general feel of British style, perfectly executed.
New for the 2010 model is the 5.0 liter V8, throwing out a stomping 510bhp and 461lb-ft of torque which propels the car to 60mph from rest in 4.6 seconds. But it’s the rolling acceleration that feels so fun. Rather than a traffic light drag race, the car is infinitely more pleasing to stomp on and blow away your competition when they aren’t expecting it. The joy of mid range torque! And around town will still return 15+ mpg.
The car offered is of 2011 vintage, and has covered just about 10,000 miles from new. In a very unusual and striking “Salsa” red colour, the sinister look of the Jag has been enhanced with black coated wheels, badges and grills. The car looks superb! Paintwork is about as-new, 20” option wheels are scuff free and shod with good tires with plenty of tread remaining. Behind the wheels are red painted brake calipers.
The caramel interior is also about as near perfect as you can get. Highlighted with charcoal stitching, and burr walnut, the interior feels like a pleasing place to be. Light and airy, with a luxurious feel.
This one local California owner car feels like new. Barely broken in with the mileage, it is presented in excellent condition throughout. Recently serviced to ready the car for sale, is testament to the car taken in maintaining and storing it. The reason for sale: a new addition to a growing family is on the way.
The engine is responsive, shifting perfectly through the 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifter. Brakes, suspension and steering all feel as taut as new, and all electrical systems work perfectly. The car is equipped with heated and cooled soft grain leather seats, a “smart key” for access and starting the car, fabulous B&W stereo system, iPod connectivity, bluetooth, Sirius, Bi-Xenon headlights and touchscreen Navigation. Total original cost: over $102,000.
The car is offered with all books and manuals, keys and service records, with a clean, clear title.

2016 Jaguar XF First Drive [w/video]
Thu, Sep 3 2015Jaguar has never had a problem with style or driving joy. Every generation of the British brand's vehicles – with excuses made and accepted in advance for S-Type and X-Type and other outliers – has offered compelling styling and great performance. New kid XF was no exception when it was introduced in 2007. The car's sheetmetal pointed the way forward for the fully up-to-date range we see now, and its confident engines and handling chops were on pace with the best Bimmers, Benzes, and Cadillacs. The first-generation XF made some hay for Jaguar, selling around 280,000 copies through 2014. But those annualized rates still represented a blip on the luxury midsize radar when viewed against the backdrop of the German Three's numbers. Part of that sales story has been down to the E-Classes and 5 Series of the world being consistently excellent, to be sure. But a lot of the blame can be found in Jaguar's historic weak spots. Grace and pace the brand had in spades, but consumer perception of quality and reliability just weren't there, pricing was typically near the top of the class, and the residual values of the cars were low (a combination of all three factors, most likely). Of course, Jag would love to sell a few more cars. But this time, instead of simply building a great-looking, great-driving new XF (which is absolutely the case), the brand is doing some clever non-engineering-based things to put more big cats in more garages than ever before. The tradeoff of very good ride quality is worth the minute amount of roll. After flying all they way to Spain – Pamplona and the Navarra Circuit, by way of Barcelona and a Range Rover adventure you'll hear about soon – I would be remiss not to tell you how the new XF goes down the road. Some 150 kilometers (93 miles) of motorway and challenging b-roads lie between the city with that annual livestock problem and the 2.44-mile, FIA approved racecourse. A route that led me to understand that this XF, in my case the 380-horsepower XF S, has gained more than it has lost in the generational changeover. The company is fully committed to aluminum for its midsizer, with the new car now using a body structure that's 75-percent built from the stuff. I'm told that means a body in white that weighs just over 600 pounds, and an overall weight savings of 11 percent. Body stiffness has been raised by 28 percent in the process.
Jaguar Buys World's Largest Collection Of British Classic Cars
Fri, Jul 25 2014This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Jaguar's Special Operations division announced today it has bought the world's largest collection of classic British cars. The 543 cars had belonged to wealthy dental entrepreneur Dr. James Hull, who sold the entire collection to the British automaker for $170 million dollars. Jaguar scored 130 of its own vehicles in the lot, including a XK, SS, C, D and E-types, XJ as well as a few rare Land Rovers, according to Road & Track. The division that bought the cars is not only responsible for the heritage museum, but also for special projects. Special Operations finished the 18-car run of the lightweight E-types, albeit 50 years late. Jaguar plans to use the cars as promotional pieces to highlight the history of the brand, according to Cars UK. Related Gallery Retro Features Car Shoppers Still Want
Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission
Sat, Dec 20 2014Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.
