Seraph Cars are delighted to offer this stunning 2014 Jaguar XJR 5.0 Supercharged V8, finished in the spectacular Italian Racing Red with an Ebony leather interior featuring Red Zone contrast stitching.
This is the full-fat XJR flagship, powered by Jaguar’s legendary 5.0-litre supercharged V8 producing 550PS and 680Nm of torque, coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Jaguar quoted an incredible 0–60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 174 mph, giving this luxury four-door saloon genuine supercar-rivalling performance.
First registered 15/04/2014, this example has 4 former keepers and has covered approximately 70,500 miles.
Most importantly, it benefits from an exceptional maintenance record comprising 9 main dealer services and has just been serviced on 21/04/2026 at 70,507 miles.
The car has also been fully checked and prepared ready for its next owner and benefits from an upgraded sports exhaust, which complements the character and soundtrack of the supercharged V8 beautifully.
THE XJR – JAGUAR’S 550PS FLAGSHIP
Introduced as Jaguar’s flagship performance saloon, the XJR was substantially more than simply an XJ with a larger engine.
Jaguar specifically developed the XJR with its 550PS supercharged V8, electronic active differential, R-specific suspension and chassis calibration, together with aerodynamic enhancements and distinctive styling. Jaguar described it at launch as its new flagship sports saloon.
The result is a remarkable dual-purpose motor car. In normal driving it retains the refinement, space and luxury expected from an XJ; press the accelerator and the character changes completely, with the supercharged V8 delivering effortless and relentless performance.
SERVICE HISTORY & PREPARATION
A major selling point of this particular XJR is its history.
It benefits from 9 main dealer services, culminating in its latest service carried out on 21st April 2026 at 70,507 miles.
The car has subsequently been fully checked and prepared and, in our opinion, is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
For us, the combination of relatively sensible mileage, extensive main dealer maintenance and recent preparation is particularly important when sourcing a performance Jaguar of this age.

CONDITION & PRESENTATION
The Italian Racing Red exterior is a particularly striking choice for the XJR and shows off the more aggressive R-specific bodywork beautifully.
Contrasting against the red bodywork are the 20-inch Farallon Grey alloy wheels and red brake calipers, while inside, the Ebony leather with Red Zone stitching continues the sporting theme.
The XJR’s subtle R detailing, bonnet vents, side vents and performance-focused styling distinguish it from a conventional XJ without losing the elegant proportions that made the X351 such a distinctive luxury saloon.
A VERY SPECIAL MODERN JAGUAR
This generation of XJR occupies an interesting place in Jaguar’s history.
Its 5.0-litre supercharged V8 produces 550PS, yet the car still delivers the comfort and refinement of Jaguar’s flagship saloon. Jaguar engineered the XJR with bespoke chassis calibration, an electronic active differential and aerodynamic changes specifically to exploit that performance.
Cars of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to replicate: a large, elegant, rear-wheel-drive British luxury saloon with a 5.0-litre supercharged V8.
For the enthusiast who wants the theatre and performance of an R-model Jaguar without sacrificing genuine four-door luxury and long-distance ability, the XJR remains an exceptional proposition.
