Hello to the Forum.
I have recently acquired my 2018 XJR575 which I updated from my 2014 XJR (I always wanted a 575 but not many around)
Looking forward to replacing the tyres every 6 months !!
Thank you for listening.

Great find as they are getting harder and harder to find.
Sir, we are going to need more pictures of this beauty?

As I posted on your other thread Congratulations!
I did not realize you came from a 2014 XJR either as that's what I currently have.

That is why I would never buy a used "performance" model.

Congrats on the acquisition. I expect that one will bring a lot of joy to your driving.

What is the name of that color? Looks a bit darker than my Stratus Grey.

I believe it's Carpathian Grey - as you say, a bit darker than stratus.

Looks very nice! CongratsI And your earlier car was fantastic too.

Quick question: I have always wanted to find about these wheels that you have: what are they called and what size are they?

How many miles did your 2014 have and how many miles are on the 575? Does it feel largely the same, or how would you say you feel switching from the 2014 to the 2018?

I just got a 2014 XJR LWB and feel like someday I might want to get a newer model as this was my dream car and now there's not another dream except upgrading it. Although I like the 575, I just wish they didn't plaster 575 on everything so maybe I would just prefer a 2017 as I think it's cleaner without "575" everywhere.

Hi
Yes , the wheels are 20-inch Farallon gloss-black - nice and easy to clean as well as looking good.

Hi
The 2014 XJR was at 50K and the 575 is at 40K.
The difference in performance is minimal but I much prefer the updates that come with the 575 - I think it looks much better aesthetically, and tech improvements are substantial. - it also make a much better noise out the exhaust.

Thanks for this info. I looked it up and they are quite expensive for the whole set! Seems like something I might do in the next year.

Yes those came stock on my 2014 XJR and are forged from the factory. So yes more expensive for sure!
