AutoHunter Spotlight: 2008 Jaguar XKR Coupe

E-Type-inspired GT for the modern age

-

Featured on AutoHunter, the online platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 77,723-mile 2008 Jaguar XKR coupe. It is powered by a 420-horsepower, supercharged and intercooled 4.2-liter V8 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Originally delivered to Jaguar North Scottsdale in northeast Phoenix suburb of Arizona, this feline has remained in the Grand Canyon State all its life. Equipment includes touchscreen navigation system, both the Luxury and Premium Sound Packages, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, and more. Finished in Ebony Black over a Caramel leather interior, this XKR will include the original window sticker, owner’s manual, service records, clear CARFAX report, and a clear title.

The Ebony Black (code PEC) exterior features Adaptive Front Lighting, upper and lower mesh grilles (a characteristic of the special R model), fog lamps, rear spoiler, and quad polished outlets for the active exhaust system.

Nineteen-inch Jupiter split five-spoke wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot tires.

The 2+2 cabin is appointed with Caramel (code SEP) perforated leather bucket front seats (heated, no less) complemented by matching door panels, dash, center console, and carpeting. Befitting a prestigious British vehicle, this XKR features burl walnut veneer trim plus power windows, Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Alert, keyless entry and start, speed-sensitive power steering, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Hopefully, you love leather, as the Luxury Package includes heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather-wrapped shift knob, adjustable seat bolsters, leather instrument panel, leather door panel inserts, and 16-way power-adjustability for the front seats. The Premium Sound Package contains a 525-watt Alpine Premium Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound system.

Instrumentation includes a 180-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, and a configurable digital display for other pertinent information. The digital odometer reads 77,857 miles, with a recent CARFAX report confirming the mileage.

The supercharged and intercooled AJ-8 4.2-liter V8 was rated at 420 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. April 2023 maintenance updates include an oil change along with the replacement of the air conditioning compressor, drier, and battery. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a console-shifted six-speed automatic transmission.

Lead Writer Diego Rosenberg is a native of Wilmington, Delaware and Princeton, New Jersey, giving him plenty of exposure to the charms of Carlisle and Englishtown. Though his first love is Citroen, he fell for muscle cars after being seduced by 1950s finned flyers—in fact, he’s written two books on American muscle. But please don’t think there is a strong American bias because foreign weirdness is never far from his heart. With a penchant for underground music from the 1960-70s, Diego and his family reside in the Southwest.
