Vehicle description
2006 Jaguar XKR VICTORY EDITION. Vehicle has been in storage and is in Great Condition! Commemorative editions of the XK are nothing new, but the Victory, named for Jaguar’s four championships in SCCA Trans-Am racing, is the last of the line. Modern race cars, including the Trans-Am XKs, are built primarily of carbon fiber, and so that material replaces burled wood as the interior trim in the XKR Victory . Unique interior trim and badging, 20-inch wheels and tires, and cross-drilled Brembo(tm) brake discs with red calipers complete the package. The wheels and tires, brakes, and CATS suspension with adaptive damping are performance as well as cosmetic upgrades, and with the Victory model, the XK goes out in style. The body style still turns heads, the interior is the lap of luxury, and with nearly 400 horsepower on tap, performance is that of jet. " Computer Active Technology Suspension " (CATS), with real-time variable-rate shock damping. CATS gives a supple ride at low or moderate speeds on smooth surfaces, with firmer control of the wheels at higher speeds or in hard cornering. And the massive contact patches of the Victory’s 20-inch wheels and sticky Pirelli tires allow plenty of cornering power. The huge Brembo brakes stop very, very well.The XKR’s supercharged variant of the 4.2-liter AJ-V8 is very different in character from the naturally-aspirated version found in the regular XK8. This is not particularly noticeable at low speeds or part throttle, where it is poised and quiet, befitting a luxury automobile engine. But mash the throttle, and, well, there are reasons the cat’s-head emblem on the hood is called "the Growler." First there is a guttural growl, and then a high-pitched scream over that when the supercharger kicks in. It sounds much like the engines of a small executive jet, and the acceleration is similar to a jet on takeoff. It starts a bit slowly, and then builds. And builds. And builds, getting happy at speeds best not attempted on public roads. Even more than raw horsepower - and 390 horses is not at all weak - the engine’s character is defined by torque. As in 399 lb-ft of torque, which is so much that there is little need to manually shift the six-speed automatic transmission even in spirited driving. The XKR is a pleasant car to drive quickly, and just as pleasant at sedate touring speeds.
