Auto - Jaguar XFR 5.0 V8






What is it?

The Jaguar XFR is the British company’s rival to the BMW M5 and the Mercedes E63 AMG.

The XFR builds on the now familiar XF saloon recipe but is powered by an all-new 503bhp direct injection supercharged V8. It also gets substantial chassis changes, including different spring rates, a newly developed continuously variable electronic damping system and a new electronically controlled rear differential.

The new XFR also benefits from enhancements to the steering over the standard car.

The visual changes are subtle but effective. There’s a redesigned front end with a more aggressive look and added air intakes. It also gets flared sills, a discreet boot lid spoiler and standard 20-inch alloy wheels.

Inside there are further additions such as special dials, dark wood and more heavily bolstered, but extremely comfortable, seats.

Really nice car but don't like all the hype by the British media about how this car destroys the Germans
