Totally out of my range, but if Camelot is kind to me, it's at the top of the list

The gearbox...

Lovely looking car though...

Looks great, pricing and standard spec are not quite what was expected.

They are setting one up at work today for us to see without camo etc. Will report back when i've seen it.

Its the photocar used for the images. Red V8S looks fantastic. :cool:

Saw the F-type in its camo a couple of weeks ago being driven around vegas. Mate also said he saw new Range Rover (or LR? I'm personally not up to date with their coming cars

), but I didn't see that.

Agree, if they make that with the supercharged V8 I reckon I could be tempted

At a probably price of 90K+ for it I wouldn't be...

The spec is really odd, automatic lights aren't standard and seem to be a £200 option?! Also no rain sensing wipers as standard even on the V8!

Its stuff like that and the HID lights so when I spec'd it I ended up with 10K of options, the top spec Meridian system is not even standard on the v8...gone all porsche on the options

I've just been to see it - jesus, it's beautiful

It will all be in how it goes and steers, the coupe version needs to be a lot more than a Z4M with nice switchgear, it needs to take the fight right into the 991's playground. I expect it's key market will be stateside but in Europe it will be about how well it fights the Pork I feel.

What you mean like this?

And thats missing a LOAD of options, when I spec'd it I added over 10Ks worth...

9designs2 · 27 Sep 2012 at 16:40

All need to be 20K less in my view, so they can build and sell some !!

if you add £10k of options then that somewhat changes things

Those options include stuff you get as standard on the XKR such as the high end stereo (1,700), memory seats, auto headlights, auto wipers, HID headlights. The base spec is poor compared to the XKR and XFR.

Wow its nearly 100k with a load of options, they really have learnt from Porsche.

Does this mean the next xk will be even larger and more expensive?

Really like it - It's obviously meant to be driven fast, it's got a grab handle for the passenger
