How do you get a Jaguar out of valet mode?
To disconnect the Valet Mode, just use the black key to open the trunk through the xk8 sign at the back of the car.
Are there any issues with the Jaguar XJR?
This anomaly occurred just once, and the only other electronic “issues” that surfaced over the XJR’s 40,000-mile tenure with us were two other minor, albeit annoying, glitches. One issue arose after we’d had the car for nearly four months. The motor for the electronic parking-brake release cable froze in 10-degree weather.
How much does a 2004 Jaguar XJR cost?
We were pleased with the no-cost approach, as our 2004 XJR, dressed in brilliant Jaguar Racing Green livery (there’s actually a luminous gold-flake look to it in direct sunlight), carried an as-tested price of $79,845. It’s the “R” stamped on the tail of this fearsome feline that adds about 15 grand to the price of a base XJ sedan.
What’s the average speed of a new Jaguar XJR?
New, the XJR reached the century mark in 12.2 seconds and 130 mph in 23.6 seconds; after 40,000 miles, the times were 11.3 ticks and 20.7, respectively. The only area where the XJR’s performance had diminished was in braking: After 40,000 miles, it now took, at 168 feet, an extra six feet to stop from 70 mph.
What does your stand for in Jaguar XJR?
That R could stand for regal, rambunctious, and ravishing. One night our managing editor drove the long-term Jaguar XJR to the gym (to watch others exercise, no doubt) and then home to his driveway. As he approached the Jag the next morning, he was startled to see that the driver’s window was rolled down halfway.

What kind of grip does a Jaguar XJR have?
On the skidpad, the Jag’s 255/40R-19 Pirellis clawed for 0.85 g of grip, and that performance improved to 0.86 g 10 months later when the XJR had 40,000 miles on the odometer. Back at the track, the XJR had matured into a friskier cat. The sprint to 60 now took just 4.7 seconds and the quarter-mile 13.2 at 107.
