Introduced in 2011, the Jaguar XKR-S hatchback coupe, here in French Racing Blue, was a high performance version of the XKR limited to 200 units overall for the European market with only 50 in RHD. It's supercharged 5.0 was rated at 542 hp and top end limited to 186mph. It's technically a 4 seater reminiscent of the Nissan "Z" when it was called "an occasional 4 seater" which translated to tiny tots or luggage. As much as this was a helluva driver, the styling (most unusual for Jaguar) was rather generic.

Frank, that was exactly what I was thinking.

What goes around, comes around. Design is now an international business. Love this Jaguar in a unique colour. Great photo set Rich. Thank you.

Great looking model & I love the French Racing Blue.
I have the "base" model XK & think the styling on this generation is outstanding (maybe a little cleaner looking without the R-S aero bits).

@gavin Beyond the XKE grill tribute, these cars so lack the usual Jaguar styling. It seems that Ford people took over their design department.
