The seller offers for sale this 2005 Jaguar XKR Victory Edition, powered by a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 engine, paired with a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission. Finished in silver over a black leather interior, this XKR is one of the desirable Last Edition “Victory” models and is accompanied by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, a sought-after item among collectors of the final X100-generation XK cars. The car was originally delivered to the US market and was converted to EU specification in 2024, with a full inspection carried out by TÜV Nord. It is registered and, according to the seller, ready to be driven. The odometer shows 122,000 km.
The XKR Victory Edition was introduced by Jaguar in 2005 to mark the marque’s championship successes in the North American Trans-Am road racing series, and represents the final and most focused expression of the X100-generation XK before the model was replaced by the all-aluminium X150 in 2006. Only a limited number of Victory Edition cars were built, each distinguished by unique trim details, carbon fibre interior accents and a specification that brought together the best equipment offered across the XK range during its production run. As the send-off for the original steel-bodied XK, the Victory Edition has since become a sought-after variant among Jaguar enthusiasts.
Underneath the bonnet sits Jaguar’s supercharged 4.2-litre AJ-V8 engine, delivering strong performance with a distinctive supercharger whine, and driving through a smooth-shifting six-speed ZF automatic gearbox with manual shift capability. The XKR pairs classic Jaguar grand touring proportions, a long bonnet, a compact cabin set well back and a folding soft top, with a firmer, more focused chassis tune than the standard XK8, aided by Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) for adaptive damping. Inside, the cabin offers leather upholstery, wood and carbon fibre trim, and 2+2 seating, making this XKR a usable grand tourer that combines everyday comfort with the character of a supercharged Jaguar V8.
