Am I being cynical here by thinking that Jaguar took back the XJRR, mucked around with the suspension/handling so much and returned it so that it would not be capable of doing a quicker lap time than the DB7 GT?

May be a little. Remember how old the DB7 is underneath the skin - the chassis platform started out as the XJS.

Talking of Jags, did you see the James Bond one yesterday on the programme. Stange but I saw it a few hours before coming out of Hertford complete with roof mounted Gatling gun and 007 trade plates.
Very odd.

Was it not the XK RR

The XJ is the big saloon

The XK is the 2+2 / roadster / some would say E-Type replacement / that appears in new bond film
