Inside, the XKR is very similar to its lesser brethren, which means a monumental improvement in ergonomics and functionality over the old car, but which also means it’s simply not special enough for a flagship GT costing nearly 70 grand. The odd logo here and there, a unique alloy trim strip and wide but curiously unsupportive sports seats are not enough.
Other flaws remain: the rear seats are next to useless and the boot stingy, whilst the 71 litre fuel tank is just enough to provide adequate touring range (we achieved 23.9mpg) but drains quickly if you’re pressing on. Nevertheless, at £67,495, the XKR feels like an awful lot of car for the money.
