Jaguar XKR-S - XCAR

[@pajtim9079]

It's a shame Jaguar stopped its production. My favorite GT car ever. The most iconic. They must bring it back.

[@PlenaGracia]

I saw one of these in French Racing Blue parked in London the other day. I could have sat on the pavement and stared at it all day long.

[@NikoBell12]

Same. Saw one in that color here in Texas and felt the same way. Luckily I had my DSLR with me though. ;)

[@fifthgearuk]

Great video guys, the Jaguar XKR-S looks fantastic

[@adamsdailydriveway]

One of the best looking coupes next to Aston and the maserati grand turismo mc stradale

[@josephtomb01]

The XKR-S used to be my favorite Jag. It sounds great, and looks amazing. Than came the F-Type... To bad they never produced the C-X75.

[@hugq14]

Joseph Tomb “THEN”!!!

[@lionyleftwich4418]

The F-type is plain ugly in the front and the XK would look like an exotic car if it had the F type rear end look

[@xj_220]

then the project 7 and 8 came along...............

[@abayomihinds4343]

This guy is so professional Like your reviews bro

[@SkarnDeBrax]

Not only the "video" is nice, but your voice and intonation is just great.

[@Matt77346]

Trust me, you won't miss it much. The ZF 6-speed in this baby is no joke. It shifts very quickly and the throttle blips on the downshifts are intoxicating. There is no need for a PDK or DSG when they are this smooth, especially around town. Try it, you'll like it.

[@ludwiks971]

“Keep it in a garage” are you nuts, what is wild, has to be out in the wilderness

[@18PaulH]

Agreed on the compliments. As for your question: no I genuinely believe 550 hp is over stressing this chassis a bit, wich was originally created with a top model with 420 horse. Experienced drivers like a balanced car that only oversteers when they want it to.

[@adriane6943]

I'm a big car guy and can never really pic my favorite but this one is my favorite idk why just beautiful

[@speakerphone07]

videos like these mad me love this channel, they are the best

[@surajjohn29]

I love your videos ! You guys at XCAR are much better than topgear america, and lots of other shows out there ! great work guys !

[@ViperBOSS74]

It's a young Richard Hammond! Great job kid!

[@maatsku]

These videos are so good!!! If theres no top gear coming from tv I watch these videos. Almost as good as top gear.

[@Scray1]

It's 2020, been out of production for awhile and it's still a beautiful car

[@steveclark5206]

Scray1 I’m driving to San Antonio to look at a Black on Black/red coupe tomorrow. 2012 w/50k miles, $32,000 - listed at $36k, but it’s been on the lot for 3+ months so they’re willing to deal before they have to pay stocking tax on it for March. I’m hoping it’s legitimately as nice as it looks in the pics. Wish me luck!

[@thalo9237]

@@steveclark5206 How did everything turn out??

[@steveclark5206]

T Halo Bad. TL;DR- I waited too long and it was sold the day before I was going to look at it and most likely buy it. :-( I was waiting until Saturday to go down to look at it with my wife, that way I could drive it home that day and she could follow me back. On Friday morning I got a call from the dealership saying someone else was interested and was willing to pay “slightly more” than my offer. Thinking it was BS (and getting kind of pissed thinking they were playing games about a car on their lot for 3+ months) I told them I still wasn’t able to come down until the next day. That afternoon they called and told me it was sold. So I’m still on the lookout for one. As a plus, I started buying some motorcycles to play around with until then! Lol. If you click on my name you can see a quick video of the V-Max I’m going to build for drag racing.

[@thalo9237]

@@steveclark5206 Awww man! I totally understand. I've been there before.. I know how that feels. Well look at it like this. Everything happens for a reason. You may have dodged something that would have been worse than a "headache" if you know what I mean. What's meant will happen. I'm waiting on one myself. I hope everything works out for me. And its really meant to be.. I wish you well with your search. Just be patient. I will also check out you cool bikes! Best wishes. Peace.

[@steveclark5206]

T Halo Thanks. I’ll keep on the lookout, you never know when another will pop up- even though the black with black/red is my favorite color scheme. But I do like the French Racing blue color too, so....

[@67ES335]

What you notice between the XKR and the XKRS is the handling. Almost no body roll; great turn in and when I put it in track mode I never noticed the stability control system kick in at all! You have to turn the stability system off when on the track with the XKR because it kills the power at every turn. All of the issues that I had with the XKR have been resolved with the XKRS. Well - almost all, you have to be very patient when exiting a corner before gently squeezing the gas pedal. Cheers!

[@emreguler1720]

awesome review, your reviews include emotions about cars; I love it, because cars are not just about just drifting or 0-60 times which most car reviewers believe so. This kind of review what we gearheads need, keep it up Xcars!

[@Mike7O7O]

To my ears, it doesn't sound mechanical when you give it the beans. It sounds like a very pissed off, very hungry, big wild cat, ( think tiger or leopard ), that's going to eat the first thing it finds :)

[@arandomvenipede7604]

M W or it sounds like a “jaguar” Lol I had to

[@MrZzyzxx]

i really like this guy - he's informative and funny yet seems to tell the whole truth - i will watch him again ( by the way, the car is awesome ! )

[@carsage8836]

Very nice video mate

[@TheTallAbacus]

Great review, great writing and execution, interesting perspective. All reasons why I will keep watching!

[@aarvin1]

Guys your videos are just spectacular!! This one particularly, all is perfect, the soundtracks, the filming, the editing, the presenter's talent ... the beautiful word play at the end of the review(from the presenter), my god!! But guys I have a question, don't you think that this jaguar is aimed more at the more experienced drivers who actually like tail-happy cars and who actually love the challenge and have the skills and experience to control cars like this ? But again, FANTASTIC job guys!

[@ThatRosco458]

Just give us the name for that beautiful music at the beginning and the end!! I can't stop thinking about it!!!!

[@m7mmadbasam724]

Keep the awesome work guys .. wished that this awesome vid. had some drifting clips .. but in general it is very very very awesome

[@TheChukklebunny]

Excellent review. Informative and entertaining. You should do Top Gear instead of Ego Evans!

[@viperstrike1405]

I think jaguar can make this car faster and more manageable by tweaking the weight distribution, lighter weight, more powerful brakes. By the way great video as always

[@lothar52]

I own this car, and in that color... What you said was spot on!!!!

[@LH-gx9om]

The HRE XKR how has she treated you over the years? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2012

[@mattetoet]

best car sound ever!

[@QuickShiftTV2024]

Just put together a review of mine, 7 years on 😅

[@hendog323]

You're in Kate Winslet ;)

[@hewyn1]

Great car, great visuals in the video. Snarky presenter.

[@yohan-electwordofguardthem9173]

*☀i☉Must say Jaguar you🐆are🗺The Best Name Brand🌅*

[@stergiothess]

4:36 ... it seems that you put this car's noise for the starting part...0:00

[@tilmonr]

What is the brand of watch he's wearing anybody???

[@thebitmovies]

Well said... The noise of thus c

[@MrDazgal]

great channel ,absolutely love your work ,you have the best job in the world you lucky sod lol

[@foxhounduk2k8]

A truly superb video review! Keep it up!

[@MrKenmosley2000]

That was lethal

[@GtstangLv]

He has a cool but weird watch. On the Jaguar side I think it's funny that Jaguar is English but is not suited for its roads because of its batshit crazy power.

[@67ES335]

Numbers don't always tell the truth. Go against one sometime and you will feel like your S4 is broken. It doesn't have very impressive straight line times because it doesn't have launch control and is rear wheel drive. If you are going - say, 30 mph - then punch it, it's scary fast! Comparable cars from watching races on the GTboard and real life are, Z06, SLS, R8-V10, new M5 - you get the idea. But all those races were from a 30+ mph start. I smoked a GT3 from 50-150? the other day.

[@MrMonrad99]

Love your videos and the car!

[@Lukec4ge]

Is that a Seiko Sportura on your wrist Alex?

[@DIINj27]

Absolutely awesome review

[@funkymony7k]

that was so good. better made then fifth gear

[@grabush77]

oh come on Alex with the Kate Winslet joke :) nice vid btw

[@BlackDog4758]

great reviews! keep up the good work!

[@goldeneye9381]

*Shame they end up this production and replace it with Ftype ...the XKR series is a legend that wont come twice*

[@branot89]

What's that watch on your whrist? Looks cool

[@christopherthompson8389]

Is this where they got the soundtrack for all their video intro or open sequences? Soundtrack starts at 2:26 @carfection

[@natebarry5553]

The intro is an Audi R8 4.2

[@fabbbbbbb]

Nice watch

[@zefa17]

The Watch that you're wearing, What is it?

[@HotRodstigs]

what is the name of the music at the beginning and the very end ?

[@alrojas100]

That watch what was it I want one.

[@lothar52]

I'm in Ohio, as long as you know the gas pedal can kill you in this car and you respect that power it's ok.. No control problems I find. But, it can get way out of control on the slick roads!!!

[@18PaulH]

Tata's ownership is the best thing that ever happened to JLR.

[@anewberg]

What in the world is that watch

[@bartigebarner9933]

could have made it even faster if they used normal but heated seats instead of electrical ones. that are about 50kg of dead weight you dont Need. at least i think that People that buy those cars are intelligent enought to know how to adjust a car seat.

[@earthstick]

This guy is Harry Hill in disguise.

[@metalhardkore]

official fifth gear commented xO

[@MrWizardSleeve]

damn good ending.

[@lffit]

Eating bloody slippers? What have you been smoking?

[@kreamo225]

The only reason why anyone should buy an xkr-s is only for the noise it makes..and that is a good enough reason if you ask me.

[@holdenivy4481]

Wait so it has 550hp but it only does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds doesn't the GT-R Have less horsepower but does 0-60 Faster (Not Hating Just Saying :)

[@martiniman34]

Sh.... I love XKRS

[@67ES335]

They might as well build another car. Oh wait- they did - the F Type S!

[@cilvrado]

i'm cool with that too.

[@lavarclemmons9691]

Yep but the Shelby is still kicking that ass though who ha ha ha ☠️

[@afiqarman990]

wow, u actually got a lot of hair last time lol

[@christopherthompson8389]

Or it is at 4:34 ?

[@501pj]

Is he ride quality Jaguar supple or as bad as a BMW.

[@iSOBigD]

I really like this car but a 2 door Jag with over 500 hp accelerating as quickly as a 4 door sedan (Audi S4) with almost half the hp...I don't understand where the power goes. I love the 4-door Jaguars now, they're some of the nicest looking sedans but the XKR seems too much like a worse looking Aston Martin.

[@kanob6440]

If only it were awd

[@roadcarve5709]

wind soundtrack from runescape :D wtf

[@peanuts2105]

Well you clearly like eating slippers and smoking a pipe. This is exactly how Jaguars should sound

[@WindingMaster]

This guy is trying to be Richard Hammond LOL!

[@denisvanderhaeghen148]

[@stringer-ik1pc]

Strange description of jaguar owners. They were and always have been for successful people. The 'Beatles' and anyone who was anyone had one in the 60s, the 70s too. As for the competition 'Mercedes' any respectable Pakistani taxi driver in any third world country had one.

[@lffit]

Jaguars should not sound like this!!!!

[@janojanuary]

Sounds like bro ran out of talent

[@riky95oo]

Ok.. let's put that boring Fifth Gear off the production line and have you guys as a Tv show instead. Fair enough?

[@stanczyk11111]

F type V8 Muscle ..is better .. :)

[@lffit]

BS The ultimate bird pulling machine, guys women love them, such sexy beasts Jaguars not boring like those sterile predictable German cars, i have one mine is old, cannot afford a new one.... Merde!

[@pxjr5477]

I love Jaguar and LR, However, they are owned by Indian：（. Fail
