Jaguar XF-R Revealed

This new appearance steps up highly from the stock edition. Hope it drives as good as it looks.

Most germans seem to make at least 100 horsepower/liter with normal aspiration. Why does a 5 liter motor need a supercharger to make 510 horsepower. It is like the new corvette zr1 it should make 600 horsepower without a supercharger for a 6 liter motor.

the last picture is crazy nice o;

If this car competes, it will be a tremendous vehicle. I really hope Jaguar is able to do what it was unable to do under Ford management.

yep it should have at least 600 hp for that masive engine, it looks good but let see it on the track

huh i thought that this will at least beat the Caddy CTS-V and Germans but as it look now that won`t be possible

AWESOME!!! Just one question though...why just 2010?? I don't think I can wait all year long...

nice, i like it... You probably wont be seeing too many in the street though *sigh*

nice car (but id still rather have an M5) i wonder if they'll do a XFR-S like they did with the current XK?

yeah id rather have an M5 too but would buy this one for the mrs. That black looks sick! those wheels dont tho; that car with black wheels and tint would look amazing

sounds good but somehow the car doesnt look "R" enough. black paint tends to hide all the details and those wheels are terrible, look like hubcaps. an all white or dark gray with five spoke wheels would have been more presentable.

juguar is not a german car...... and is definitely NOT to be compared to a corvette.

if it's going to compete with the german power wars, 510 probably won't be much unless it's REALLY light.. rather an M5 too, but still, it looks nice

I thought it would have more power. At least 550bhp

And this car wont beat the new CTS-V, especially to 60 mph. The CTS-V does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds while the Jag does it in 4.7 seconds. Cadillac has improved on the new CTS-V, it can now rival the european high performers too.

Wow, simply awe inspiring car, million times cooler than any German offering. The best luxury sedan in the world for me.

Some very impressive technology under that sexy body aswell. What is important to buyers in this segment is overall performance. Luckily, Jaguar didn't just drop in a new engine and call it quits. The paddle-shift ZF six-speed automatic transmission is beefed up internally to handle the extra grunt. Larger brakes and a quicker steering rack are used as well. More interestingly, the chassis receives some electronic tweaks. First, an active dampening system called Adaptive Dynamics is fitted. This is a more advanced setup compared to simple, two-step dampers in the outgoing XF Supercharged. The second bit of chassis trickery is even more interesting. It's called Active Differential Control (ADC) and is an electronically controlled limited-slip rear end. It utilizes an electric motor with a multi-plate clutch and can actively transmit torque to the wheel with the most grip. Jaguar claims that ADC offers increased traction while avoiding the negatives of a fully mechanical differential such as increased understeer. Jaguar says that in dynamic mode, the dampers are stiffened and with the stability control switched off, ADC allows controllable power oversteer and improved off-throttle stability...

Too slow to compete with M5 and RS6

Roger - the Jag has equal power and more torque than the M5, more torque and the high tech diff will make the Jag pull faster and harder out of the bends than the Beemer etc...

well E55 AMG and E63 AMG are both faster! Also CLS is faster with AMG engine! M5 it`s hard to say because with 507hp it is lower figure than Jag 510 but anyway the torque is that what makes the difference! if you think this could compare Audi RS6 then your are out of your mind...no way Jag is even near Audi RS6!
