The car on offer is a 2007 Jaguar XKR Portfolio. An ultra-exclusive version of the XKR, it benefits from the same 4.2L V8 engine developing 420 horsepower. The Portfolio label takes the form of a customization package aimed at making the XKR coupe even more luxurious and seductive than it already is.
Identifiable at first glance, this sublime coupe is adorned with a unique color called "Celestial Black", polished Cermona 5-spoke 20-inch wheels and polished aluminum side gills. The mechanics remain unchanged but the chassis has been given a much more efficient braking system, featuring 400 mm discs and 6-piston calipers at the front and 350 mm discs and 4-piston calipers at the rear.
However, it's really in the cabin that the major changes take place in this Portfolio special series. These include a leather-wrapped aluminum gear selector, extremely soft-touch door handles, ubiquitous stitching in the cabin, Jaguar leather floor mats and XKR Portfolio lettering on the door sills.
In addition, Jaguar has taken special care with the coupe's Hi-Fi system. Indeed, the Jaguar XKR Portfolio is the very first car to benefit from a sound system made by Bowers & Wilkins, a true reference in the field. This will delight even the most demanding music lovers.
Maintained with rigor and care in the Jaguar network, the model has 42,700 kilometers and is in impeccable mechanical, interior and exterior condition. A rare opportunity to acquire an exclusive, refined, sporty and perfectly preserved coupe.
Throughout its long history, Jaguar has been capable of both the best and the worst in the coupe genre. And there's no denying that the third generation XK is one of the best, as it represents a renewal in design and engineering for the brand.
Designed by the Scotsman Iann Callum, who also designed the Aston Martin DB7 and DB9, it has a rounded design, which, like the models mentioned above, shines with its finesse and elegance.
As far as the driving experience is concerned, the XKR Portfolio is definitely a grand tourer and is very considerate of its driver. The chassis is very sound and the car is very well positioned in corners. It's certainly possible to spin with the ESP turned off, but the spirit of the coupe is not here.
Thus, despite a respectable power and a reasonable weight of 1600 kg allowed by an aluminum monocoque chassis, the objective of the XKR Portfolio is above all to provide a new sensation mixing comfort, delicacy and sportiness.
As for the transmission, only a 6-speed automatic is available. With a sequential paddle shifter and a sport mode, it allows the 560 nm of torque and 420 horsepower of the compressed V8 to be used efficiently.
This engine offers flexibility and full power at all engine speeds, allowing the coupe to sprint from 0 to 100 in 5.2 seconds and to take off very quickly, always in a very linear manner.
