The XKR-S (excluding the GT package) really is the best of both worlds; it manages to look sporty and exciting on the outside yet still retains the timeless and classy look of the second-gen XK. It's also more left-field and overlooked compared to other cars in it's performance realm. Would much prefer one of these over the F-Type SVR.

Pretty much this. High cool for me.
 
I do love me some big sporty GT cars. Having a supercharged V8 is also a big bonus too. Cool.

The XKR-S GT, however, turns a classy, sporty GT car to a "Track" car that is too heavy for it's own good, and that looks incredibly tacky. It doesn't effect the standard car's rating, but the additions that the package brings turn a cool car into a Seriously Uncool one.
 
The XK itself is pretty, but this track focused add-ons make it super tacky and hard to look at imo. Pretty uncool
 
Uncool. Its name has too many letters.

I also fail to see how the XKR-S and XKR-S GT can attain the same level of cool so should not be polled together, and that's not even mentioning the convertible version (which is a low cool.)

XKR-S GT is seriously uncool as it has too many bits stuck on it.
 
A grand tourer should be beautiful yet discreet. The XKR-S is none of those.

Uncool.
 
One of my favourite Jags of all time, but it doesn't have the class of the standard one so I can't imagine being cool, sadly.
Meh
 
I liked it quite a lot when it was a headline car in GT6. Its still a pretty good car to this day. I’d say this has aged better than most performance models of 2000’s GT cars.
 
The standard car is a nice looking GT/Coupe. The wings, skirts and splitters on the hotter version ruin it.
 
Was lucky enough to have seen all three versions especially a GT for car week
