XKR 75 Photos
Someone asked me to put up some images of my XKR 75, since it's a model not seen outside Europe. Also known as the Anniversary or the Goodwood Limited Edition; roughly speaking, it's equivalent to the Dynamic Pack but with 20 extra HP. So here are some shots I took this weekend:

Yes, that's the standard car. The only change made is that it was originally fitted with the optional 'mascara' stripes; the dealer removed them before I bought the car, which was fine by me since I was planning to do it anyway. Some like 'em, some don't; make your own mind up from this promo pic:

Very nice.
My quest for the body pieces you have continues. I don't know that I will ever get them, but I will continue trying. Well, I have the larger spoiler and I can buy the front splitter.
The height of your car looks good - not too high, not too low. I think 10 to 15MM would be fine. That I can do and will do in the near future.
I think this was listed in another thread, but is yours listed as 530BHP? (with the 20 extra Ponies? )

Rumour has it that the engines actually put out more like 540PS - again, I've asked Jag to comment. But, as Rolls Royce used to say, it's "sufficient".

No, I'm leaving the car stock - it looks so good and and goes so well, why mess with it? I prefer the look of the Speed Pack bodykit to the R-S styling, which is a bit too "in yer face" for my liking. I might get Paramount to push the limiter up to 186 before I go for some 'bahnstorming later in the year, but I don't think I'll look for an engine boost - there's too much torque for the tyres as it is.

Guess it got mangled in translation; the Autocar, Evo, BuyACar and NetCarShow reviews say "15mm at the front and 10mm at the rear", Top Gear says "running 15mm lower". Only the Telegraph and Car Enthusiast say "10mm all round". Or perhaps the car shown at Goodwood had 15mm at the front, but they decided that was a bit low for road use.
As I've said, I've asked Mike Cross for clarification, and one of his team has been in touch to say they're working on my list of queries

As far as I know, it's the same as the Speed Pack, which "includes a body coloured Aerodynamic Pack with front splitter and larger rear spoiler, body coloured rear diffuser and side sill extensions".

Yeah, saw that, which was one of the 'convincers' for me to buy it.
And yes, it's LOUD when you stand on it. I was on a country lane a couple of weekends back, giving one of my mates a lift; he had the passenger's window down to listen to the sound. We got stuck behind a cyclist in a narrow, twisty section with banks & high hedges on each side. Then we came to a short corkscrew where I could see just far enough ahead, and I booted it - wow, what a noise! It just resonated between the banks. I think I nearly gave the poor bugger on the bike a heart attack
