2012 Jaguar XKR-S Convertible
Overview
This 2012 Jaguar XKR-S Convertible arrives finished in Ultimate Black paired with Warm Charcoal Carbon leather upholstery and a Black convertible top. Subtle exterior items hint towards this Jaguar’s elevated performance credentials over a standard XKR Convertible, ranging from a redesigned front fascia with ventilated front bumper and carbon fibre front splitter, rear trunk spoiler, and quad tailpipes. A set of 20” ‘Vulcan’ alloy wheels, finished in Grey over red brake calipers, bring additional performance aesthetics. Exterior modifications are limited to tinted windows and Cilajet ceramic coating previously applied onto the body, preserving the Ultimate Black paintwork in excellent condition.
.
Cabin features combine sporting character with the luxury appointments and comforts expected of a high-end grand tourer. Warm Charcoal leather upholstery is overlaid with Carbon patterns and red contrast stitching details, accompanied by Carbon Fibre and Piano Black Veneer trim. Both front occupants benefit from a pair of specially-designed Performance sports seats, providing ample support and comfort with power-adjustment and memory settings for convenience. Further cabin amenities include a leather steering wheel with paddle shifters, climate control, 7” touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth/MP3 audio connectivity, a Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound audio system, and keyless entry.

The ‘Start Engine’ button illuminates with a pulse resembling a heartbeat, with the circular JaguarDrive selector dramatically rising upon startup of the 5.0L supercharged V8 engine. On the ground, an upgraded active differential, adaptive dampers, and Jaguar’s High Performance Braking system ensure this top-down GT provides an exhilarating drive, with a performance active exhaust system further amplifying its soundtrack. Clean Carfax history, along with service records detailing work largely performed by Jaguar dealerships under the current keeper, provides further peace of mind. Showing just 4,700 miles, this car represents the British brand at its 2010s peak, and the perfect opportunity to acquire a well-preserved, low-mileage example among Jaguar's future classics.
