If it has over 500hp and 300kg lighter then it is 100% a m6 fighter. But 300kg lighter? i can't see that happening

How much did the XKR weight in the first place?
300 kilos off is pretty much!

impressive.

i would never get that over the M6.. even if it was faster (and it wont be) and handled better (LOL!) the M6 is the M6.. other cars can't compete

and i really dont see why everybody find this car good looking.. the front and rear lights just completely ruin it for me.. looks like the DB9 my ass.. the DB9 is perfect! this is just bad..

if im not wrong the weight of the XKR is around 1660 kgs, with 300 kilos less and 500 hp they would have a recipe for a really fast car..... but will it be a good driver's car???

I gotta admit, the Jag looks better and better. And coming from a BMW fan, I think I would take the XK over the 6 Series.

Agreed that right now the M6 will kick the XKR in the balls, but then we don't know much about this XKR-R yet. If they could lose 300kg, that would be amazing!
