2008 Jaguar XKR-S 4. 2 V8 Supercharged Coupé – Eines von nur 200 gefertigten Exemplaren
Step into the final apex of Jaguar’s Ford/ PAG era: the XKR-S, a road-going super-GT engineered by Jaguar with technical input from Prodrive. It remains one of the most exclusive modern Jaguars and was presented as the fastest Jaguar since the legendary XJ220.
Performance & Engineering
Powered by Jaguar’s 4. 2-litre supercharged V8, the XKR-S delivers 420 PS / 416 bhp and 560 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift. While power output mirrors the standard XKR, the XKR-S was developed as a far more focused and exclusive car, with its electronically raised top speed of 280 km/ h, unique suspension calibration and significant chassis upgrades.
Compared with the standard XKR, the XKR-S received:
• uprated and sport-calibrated suspension
• a lower ride height
• a more focused chassis setup
• larger high-performance brakes with red performance brake calipers
• exclusive 20-inch Vortex alloy wheels
• model-specific aerodynamic enhancements
Exclusive features & aesthetics
This was a true limited-production model: only 200 XKR-S examples were built worldwide, of which approximately 150 were left-hand drive.
This example is verified via VIN and body number, and a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate can be obtained to confirm production details and originality.
The XKR-S was delivered in its signature Ultimate Black finish, a colour chosen to underline the model’s more aggressive and exclusive identity. The exterior is distinguished by the model-specific aerodynamic package, including front splitter, side skirts, rear spoiler and diffuser.
Inside, the car features the desirable Ivory / Charcoal leather interior, with original XKR-S floor mats, sports seats and the refined GT ambience that defined Jaguar’s flagship coupés of the period.
Condition & collector appeal
This car has covered only 41, 700 km and presents in exceptionally well-preserved condition. It feels and drives with the tightness and quality of a much newer car, which is a key part of its appeal.
The service book and documented history accompany the car. For collectors and marque enthusiasts, this is exactly the kind of example that matters: low mileage, correct specification, original details and one of Jaguar’s rarest modern limited-production models.
The XKR-S occupies a special place in Jaguar history. It is not simply a standard XKR with cosmetic upgrades, but a carefully positioned factory special from the Ford era — built in small numbers, with distinct engineering and design features that set it apart. As a result, it has become a genuine collector’s car with strong long-term appeal.
VAT and registration status
The car has not been registered in Denmark, and therefore no Danish registration tax has been paid. Import VAT has already been settled within the EU. This XKR-S offers a rare combination of exclusivity, usability and long-term collector appeal. As one of only 200 cars built, and with just 41, 700 km from new, it stands out as a genuinely scarce Jaguar in the kind of condition serious buyers look for. Cars like this are no longer easy to find, and that is exactly why they are increasingly sought after.
What makes the XKR-S especially attractive is that it is not only a limited-production collector’s car, but also a true grand tourer and a real driver’s car. It has the performance, character and road presence to feel special every time you drive it, yet it remains comfortable, refined and perfectly usable for longer trips or regular enjoyment.
For the right buyer, this is a car that can be appreciated on two levels: as an engaging and rewarding Jaguar to drive, and as a rare, low-mileage limited edition model with clear future value potential.
