Introduction

Even by modern standards, the Supercharged XKR impresses with its refinement and complete composure on the roads.
The XKR was one of Jaguar's most performance-oriented road cars when it was first released, solidifying its place in the sports car class. Combining Jaguar's reputation for comfort and ride finesse, the X150 generation of the Ian Callum-designed grand tourer offered an astonishingly elegant body style, with impressive elements of practicality and luxury.
Keen to keep the brand abreast of modernity and stray away from nostalgic reliance, the all-aluminium construction provided a strong and light platform for the 2009 introduction of the new 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged engine. Boasting an output of ~503 bhp, it was mated to one of the best automatic gearboxes of the era, a six-speed with the JaguarDrive rotary gear selector. Kept fresh by regular facelifts, the XKR has dated gracefully and has the performance to match.
This highly specified 2010 Supercharged 5.0 model has only ~51,025 miles on the clock and comes in black metallic paint and ivory-coloured soft-grain leather interior. Fitted with the Speed Pack option, hosting the aerodynamic body kit and speed limiter increased to 174 mph, the interior is furnished with a premium Bowers and Wilkins sound system, heated/ventilated seats and front and rear parking sensors. This well-kept example comes to marked after ~3 years with our vendor and has two keys, 13 service stamps and one a year MOT.
