2007 Jaguar XKR Convertible Sapphire Blue RWD Automatic

Jaguar introduced the second generation of the XKR at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, and in the following year, it unveiled the open-top version for it.The British brand had a long history of convertible vehicles, and it kept offering them on the market, with a different styling approach than Ferrari or Mercedes-Benz. They were built for long journeys, with powerful engines under the hood and a special charisma on their look.
Ian Callum designed the second generation of the XK/XKR when he was in charge of the Jaguar's design department. He was inspired by the 1961 E-Type model, which was seen on the car's oval grille. The lower part of the bumper featured a different mesh-grille than the rest of the XK range. On the hood, the extracting vents helped to cool the engine. Jaguar XKR convertible needed only 18 seconds to open or close the soft-top.
Despite the long wheelbase, the XKR was a 2+2 vehicle, but with very limited room in the back since the canvas-top was stored between the bench and the trunk. At the front, a pair of bolstered seats were part of the game and offered good side support and enough comfort on long journeys. A wind-stopper could have been placed over the rear seats to prevent wind turbulences for the front passengers.
The XKR Convertible was powered by a newly developed 4.2-liter V8 supercharged engine. It sent the 420 hp to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
This car is near mint, meticulously maintained, has the supercharged motor. No issues, everything works as it should. Adaptive cruise control, fully loaded.
