2006 XKR-S how to id victory edition
#2
As per member ABorealis:
This according to the brochure:
The special XK 'Victory' edition road cars will arrive in four exclusive, limited edition exterior colors – Black Copper Metallic, Frost Blue Metallic, Bay Blue Metallic and Satin Silver Metallic – (other standard XK colors will also be available on 'Victory' models) with four interior colors and two distinct veneer options for the dashboard to create 18 possible combinations for the buyer to choose from. ‘Victory’ editions will offer Carbon Fiber interior trim on all XKR models, as well as feature a new Elm wood veneer on the XK8 models.
The 2006 Jaguar XK 'Victory' models will benefit from several additional new features including standard Bluetooth® wireless connectivity. With Bluetooth, a compatible telephone may be wirelessly controlled via the XK's steering wheel controls, without ever leaving the driver's pocket or purse, for easy, hands-free use.
The XK8 models currently feature 19-inch 'Atlas' style wheels, which will come standard with a sporty chrome finish, while the XKR models get a new, unique 20-inch BBS wheel design (Perseus). The XKR also gets cross-drilled Brembo® brake rotors, while the XK8 adds power-fold exterior mirrors.
Tying in with Jaguar's racing heritage, special badging and accents will adorn the 'Victory' models in acknowledgement of the XK's racing achievements – polished door treadplates featuring checkered flag emblems and leather-edged floor mats. The Jaguar Growler badge also features checkered flag accents on the sides of the emblem.
What is not mentioned above are the unique seats that have more supple leather (as do the door panels and center console) with a different stitch pattern using a contrasting thread colour.
What's NOT addressed is the "-S" moniker and that they are the X100 body style, the older steel ones, also defined by the year of yours as a 2006. In the US the X150 Alloy Body style started in 2007.
As far as I've ever known, the first "-S" branded cars were in 2008 and all were of the X150 body style.
You may have (probably did) post this in the wrong forum. Look for the "XK8/XKR (X100)" forum. You'll get a lot more information from those with your same year car.
Hope this helps.
