Lloyd Tries - The Jaguar XKR - #95 | Is it better than an F-Type?!

Took my 2011 Black and Speed Pack XKR through France, Germany, Austria down to the Italian lakes, then back via Switzerland. A true continental GT. The XKR is a keeper

That is seriously good looking car. Sounds incredible too.

Don't let the secret out! Wonderful cars.

Lovely cars! 👌🏻 Good video mate, getting much better the more you’re doing! 💪🏻

I love my XKR. Nothing like the sound of a V8 first thing in the morning!

It's better than the F-Type in looks,space, and the convertible department.The only thing that looks better than the XK is F-Type's rear view of the car which I think looks incredibly better than the XK rear view which they could've made another Generation of the XK by giving the XK a similar facelift look of the F-Type's rear view.If they updated the XK like this,it would be the best looking car in the world.I believe the new Aston martins have the rear view look a new XK would sort of have if they did this,but I say they should've went ahead and made it completely look like an F-type in the back and just make the tail lights look a little different

I had a 2007 4.2 and it was as versatile as mentioned here. It was my only car and a daily driver. I only sold it because of financial difficulties because of COVID and would have another in a heartbeat. In my opinion it is a different car than an F type and a better one.

I was at the dealer for service on my F type S today and they had just sold a beautiful xkr. I love my F type but that xkr was NICE!

I own 2… an updated 12 xkr and 13 xkrs…. When something is this good you just got to have 2. Can we believe they only made a total of 55-56k of these for the entire world?!? Blows my mind

I highly recommend putting Michelin Pilot sports on this car. It transformed my convertible 5L XKR Supercharged to 610 HP and really grips the road, totally amazing the difference it made, the back end stays firm even in wet conditions. It’s a very comfy rocket that sticks to the bends. AMAZING, get all the thrills of a supercar at beer money with reliability! GREAT FUN, I will never sell this car its performance is spectacular with the very best engine sounds of any car.

In 2010 I bought an ‘07 XKR 4.2 for £36k and drove it for 3 years before selling it for £24k .. drove like a new car and only cost me £4K per year in depreciation. Miss it.

i got a 2010 convertable and amazing power and only 45 k love her and a keeper for sure

Neighbour had a new F type, so many issues he got his money back! under 7k miles in 11 months , more time in garage, than him driving it.

I had a ride in one of these, as a passenger. A mighty impressive machine. The back kicked out very easy 👀

Fabulous, especially in Stratos grey. Looks like I may have found my next car.

I'm not so sure. The 3.0 V6 S F-Type is a different car certainly, but it has similar performance to the bigger engined XKR that you feature in this video, much lower road tax and potentially does more mpg. I admit I haven't driven the XKR (on my list to drive ASAP) but I have driven the aforementioned F-Type. The F-Type was exceptional on the motorway and very comfortable. I concede that boot space on them is poor! In terms of styling, I think the F-Type makes the XKR look a bit old. I'm still undecided but for a purchase I'm considering, I'm still leaning towards the F-Type. You need to do an F-Type video!

200kg lighter than the new M2. I test drove an XKR back to back with an Aston DBS V12. I loved both but the XKR was better in almost every way apart from exhaust note.

Have you tried an xk 5 ltr naturally aspirated. Beautiful

Styling wise, the F type, seems very short at the rear, to my eye, and the front a bit blunt and clunky.. personal thing . I think the XKR a bit more elegant, resolved and cohesive throughout.

I own almost an exact copy of the car you drove, except mine is black with the cream interior, but a 60 plate. I use it as my daily drive, and will probably use it as such until either it dies or I die! As for running costs, I average about 24mpg, but on a long run, if you can resist the temptation to overuse the right pedal, you can hit 29ish mpg. Definitely find a Jag specialist rather than a main dealer and even servicing costs can be kept under control. Bang for your buck wise, you'll have trouble doing better. I highly recommend the experience.
