And it’s not just the XFR that’s set to benefit from the firm’s thumping new supercharged V8 engine…The XKR will benefit from the changes made to the flagship powerplant too.

Priced from £79,999, the top of the range XKR gets the same 503bhp power output as the new XFR, but thanks to a slightly lower kerbweight it is even faster – sprinting from 0-60mph in a staggering 4.6 seconds.

Top speed is limited to 155mph, but numbers alone don’t do justice to the improvements made throughout this car.

New look lights at the front and rear boost the quality of the detailing, while inside the car also gets the JaguarDrive gear selector described opposite.
