I saw this Xkr on the *video but it looks different than the ones I have seen at the dealers. Why does this one look different? Is this from jaguar?

The description says XKR 75 Anniversary.......I believe the Black Pack is the same. I wonder how you can tell the difference from a Black 75 and a Black Pack besides the door sills.

It also has the black wheels and side skirts, rear diffusor and front lower spoiler. Everything is blacked out. I'm planning to black out my XKR also. Did the side louvers and rear blade already......and it's at the shop now getting the front grills painted and blacking out window trim.

 

According to the original press release:

XKR175 75th Anniversary Coupe
The Jaguar XKR175 75th Anniversary Coupe is painted Ultimate Black and is also distinguished by aerodynamic enhancements, including front and rear spoilers, side sills and a rear diffuser. The 20-inch Kasuga alloy wheels are exclusive to this special edition model and highlight the standard red brake calipers. Raising the electronically governed top speed from 155 mph to 174 mph exclusively for this special edition underscores the formidable performance capability of the XKR. All XKR models are powered by a 510-hp direct-injection supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that was introduced for the 2010 model year.

Inside the XKR175 75th Anniversary Coupe, the Charcoal leather trimmed interior is accented with Cranberry stitching and Piano Black veneer trim. All of the XKR175 75th Anniversary Coupes feature doorsill tread plates inscribed “XKR175 – 1 of 175.”

and for the Speed/Black pack:

- The latest generation of Jaguar’s award-winning XKR sports coupe now offers customers even greater choice thanks to two optional performance and styling packs:
o The new XKR with optional Black Pack for added visual impact
o The new XKR with optional Speed Pack for a significantly increased maximum speed
- With the optional Speed Pack, the maximum speed of the XKR is raised from 155mph (250km/h) to an electronically limited 174mph (280km/h) thanks to recalibration of the engine management system
- New optional Black Pack allows customers to create a bold, extrovert XKR, with the addition of dramatic gloss black 20-inch Kalimnos alloy wheels, gloss black finish to the front air grilles and side Power Vents, red brake calipers, a body-coloured aerodynamic pack (including a front chin spoiler and larger rear spoiler) and an optional ‘XKR’ body side graphic along the lower sills

 

Thanks for the info but I was comparing the XKR 75 (only for Europe) compared to a Black Pack. The XKR75 (europe version) looks like everything is blacked out just like the black pack (grills, window trim and rear blade). If the above link is indeed a XKR75......it looks exactly the same as a Black Pack XKR in this link.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQkvm...e_gdata_player

If both is identical....you won't know the difference when you see one on the road.

The U.S. anniversary edition is the XKR175 which has all the aero pack but the front grill, window trim and rear blade are still chrome.

 

Sorry to bump an old thread, but: the car in that video is not an XKR 75 - or, at least, not a standard one. The colour is wrong; the 75 has everything in Stratus Grey, including grille, vents, etc. And the 75 has Vortex alloys, which are dark grey with bright highlights; those look like Kalimnos gloss black. I'd say that's a Speed+Black Pack XKR.
The 75 has everything the Speed and Dynamic packs offer, plus an uprated exhaust (that I think may be the same as the XKR-S) and ECU map that bump the power by 20bhp and the torque by 30Nm (about 5% in both cases).
Basically, it's sort-of a halfway house between a maxed-out XKR and the XKR-S. I prefer the look of the 75; it's a bit more subtle than the R-S, less 'in yer face' racer styling. Unless it has the 'mascara' body stripes, that is; fortunately, mine doesn't.
