Strange red lever under cup holder in 2013 XKR
While doing some cleaning in the interior, I pulled the cup holder out, revealing a small cover screwed into the console. Of course curiosity arises, and out comes the Torx wrench. Under that cover is a red fabric loop handle, that attaches to what I do not know. Any idea what this is?

That is correct, it is the tranny release to put the car in neutral when dead.
Mine doesn't have the screw (previous owner must have had use of that option) in the hatch and I left it that way, if I need to get to the release strap at some point I don't need a tool. I also let the Wife know that it is there so that if the car dies when she is in it and needs a tow she will be able to inform the driver.

Nah... That's the passenger ejector cord, and you let the passenger do it, kind of like telling 'em "Pull my finger".
Another cool option would be if that was the 'Emergency parachute rip cord', you know, for those times when you need a little extra help getting those 500+ ponies under control.
