"R" or "Jaguar" logo on brakes
#2
The calipers on the 5.0 cars say Jaguar, the R logo ones were from the 4.2 XKR with normal (i.e. not the Alcon option) brakes. The calipers on the 5.0 cars are essentially the same but the 5.0 cars had options for either 355mm discs (same as 4.2 XKR) or 380mm. Alcon brakes were never fitted to the 5.0 from the factory.

Right. Mine is a 5.0 S/C and it had the "R" on them. They were originally grey but I had them repainted red, and got some "R" stickers from supergraphics which look pretty good, though they have 3 colours rather than just white per the OEM. Brembo Brake Decals - Super Graphics F1. I've given the thumbs up for all answers but I think that jagtoes is probably right - it is probably a build option and doesn't mean any difference in the engine or the brakes.
