Jaguar XJR Portfolio 2007

Cars Mania Blog

Auto Car | Jaguar XJR Portfolio 2007 | The XJR Portfolio's dramatic styling is a direct evolution of the highly acclaimed 2004 Concept Eight show car. It uses a classically simple mesh grille, flanked by four headlights above a deep front air intake to produce that unmistakeable Jaguar front end. And from the side the sculpted aluminium power vents in its front wings immediately set it apart from any other XJR.'When we came to design the Portfolio edition we decided to allow the XJR to express itself,' explains Jaguar Cars design director Ian Callum.



'So we used aluminium and chrome to make parts of the car stand out like jewellery. You won't be able to miss those bold 20-inch alloy wheels or the purposeful side power vents. And inside the cabin the blend of modern materials such as aluminium with classic Jaguar leathers and veneers means we can create a luxurious but contemporary interior.Indeed, the XJR Portfolio's contemporary, sporting character can be defined by its 20-inch ‘Callisto' alloy wheels - with the same highly-polished five-spoke design as the Concept Eight but promising better everyday durability and ride comfort for the production car.



Like the show car's wheels they have slim, elegantly curved spokes, and also feature the classic Jaguar script centre badge style - combining heritage with a modern twist.The XJR Portfolio will be available in bold Midnight black paint while its seats are upholstered in Ivory leather. The upper facia is finished in warm charcoal and is matched with an aluminium veneer and door trims.
Both front and rear seats have variable heating and the driver's seat includes lumbar and cushion length power adjust with full memory function. To add to that unique performance feel, the XJR Portfolio also sports an aluminium J-gate gearlever surround and chrome and leather gearknob.In-car entertainment is provided by the 12-speaker Jaguar Alpine Premium sound system - including 320 watt amplifier, subwoofers and CD changer. Bluetooth® connectivity for in-car mobile phone usage is also standard.
