I'd hope it'll be less than that as its meant to be aimed at the Cayman market but I guess we'll find out in a few hours...

I read it will be 50k to 70k depending on the model you want.

Dunks · 4 Apr 2012 at 16:51

So much want.

Definately, and it drives like one. Still have HPAS for a start

The base spring rates start from the XKR-S spec.

Sorry what?

Can you put that in layman's terms

The cooking pot models will have suspension thats as stiff as the flagship 'hardcore' version of the XK range.

Ah k, I guessed it was that just wanted to make sure.

What's the XKR-S ride like? Bone hard or not too bad?

When can I get on a website and build myself one?

Amazing considering its on 20" wheels aswell. Perfectly usuable on UK roads yet offers the adjustablity that you just dont find on the XKR, I think the 'dynamic pack'/XKR-S front uprights which are much stiffer and help body turn in response also feature from the entry spec.

Ive got an XKR next week with an XKR-S over the following weekend which will offer a degree of comparison :cool:

Sure you don't want to lend me one for an evening (I have the driving permit)?

On a more serious note, can't wait to drive one of these, expecting to by the end of the month, so should be nice

It's like somebody at JLR found a secret win potion a few years ago, they seem to have become incapable of producing anything that isn't excellent.

A remarkable car in seemingly every regard!

Housey · 4 Apr 2012 at 18:22

Are there any interior pictures? Ive seen the bright red concept car pitcures but they don't look finished and I wondered if anyone has any launch interior pictures?

I hope it is light as well.

I bet it isn't....they missed that off all the stats...

I expect something around 1550kgs, but 1350 would be nice, 1250 would be utterly epic.
