TheTurtleshead Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Don't like it..! Looks like when a manufacturer doesn't want people to photo a new model before it's reveal so they put a load of crap panels on it to disguise it!

Benjy Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It looks nice. But to be fair it looks like a Jag. Suppose if you want the looks of a Jag and the drive of a Supra, it's prefect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 They are fantastic cars XKR is full BPU/ small single Supra performance, and sounds incredible for a factory car. The paddle shifters suit the car well too. As has been said though, that one needs smaller wheels. 19" BBS RCs and Toyota R888s would look brutal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewysdanny Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hey Imi , I don't, think you would feel like that if you had a go in the 510 bhp . When I took it out 2 weeks ago I could not find a weakness anywhere , either in/out of the car . As I said to Dr Jekyll a few days later . The problem I had was when I got back to the dealers after the test drive . I was about to walk into the show room to do some figures when the salesmen went and got the keys to the F-TypeR Coupe that I parked next to after the test drive . Best looking ,best sounding car ever made imo So now the XKR is out of the picture and I,ll wait for the F-Type Coupe to come down in price a little before buying one , so my Supra ownership goes on for another year or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I took the V8 for a test-drive last year and was very disappointed by the experience - no power, not enough sound (then again, I had a single supra), not special enough inside. looks nice though - however supra looks special in comparison. Same here, friend of mine has the 4.2 V8 and we were pretty much neck and neck when my Supra was NA6! We done several runs and off the mark he was quicker (being an auto too) but then it pulled in through 2nd gear and neck and neck until silly speed where the Supra would pull away slightly. I drove it too, it was VERY comfy! Smooth and like you say very muted so you couldn't "feel" how quick you were going. Agree'd on it sounding muted but that was the market it was designed for. I heard one without silencers and it sounded epic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I,ll wait for the F-Type Coupe to come down in price a little before buying one , so my Supra ownership goes on for another year or so Great choice. That is a fantastic motor. Probably up there with the best I've ever driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 so my Supra ownership goes on for another year or so thats not necessarily a bad thing BTW: there are a few great alternatives out there depending on what your budget is and what you are looking for. Some members seem to be going down the 911T route - have you considered that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Think the last car Craig had was a 996 911, actually thinking about it might have been prior to his XK! perhaps its time to upgrade to a 981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
