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.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models
Sun, Mar 8 2015Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product. Have your say in Comments. Related Video:
Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG
Wed, 21 Aug 2013It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.
