Is the XKR-S A Special Car?

I’m having a bit of a crisis. I can’t decide. The XKR-S has presence, aggressive looks, rarity , power, performance (and carbon ceramic brakes), so that makes it special, right? But I can’t help but shake the feeling that these aren’t done dropping in price yet.

Is it special? Or is it a future auto-oddity?

I believe so. Now the XKR-S GT? For sure.

Cheapest one I could find is at $48k

Previous gens are cheap!

I think the XK looks awful, so no, I don’t think it’s special. The previous generation is worse though.

They should end up stabilizing right around $33,000 listed price like all 500hp plus Jags tend to. But they won’t appreciate from there.

Probably will drop some more - that car is flappy paddle only, yes?

Looked equal to the F-Type after its facelift. But the rest is dated like all British cars.

But even the pre-facelift was a hot racecar.

420hp R’s are MUCH cheaper than that. They’ll keep dropping.

Nope. Just an odd, used car.

Eh, I think the facelift looks pretty classless also.

XKR? Sure.

XKR-S? Not a fan of Droopy.

I wish they had done the XKR-R as well, for the additional handling and pirate cred, instead of just leaving it as a concept.
