542bhp V8 to redress the balance between Jaguar and its German rivals
Jaguar has confirmed a new range-topping performance version of the XFR super-saloon will be launched at next week’s Los Angeles motor show.
The XFR-S, as the new model will be known, is described by the firm as “the fastest and most powerful saloon Jaguar has ever produced”. The XFR-S will be the third model in Jaguar’s R-S performance line-up, after the XKR-S coupé and cabriolet.
Jaguar revealed no details of the XFR-S alongside this sole teaser image of the new saloon. It’s expected to use a version of the XFR’s supercharged 5.0 V8 engine tuned to around 542bhp.
The image does reveal the XFR-S, like the XKR-S, will get a series of aggressive bodywork upgrades over the standard XFR and a special French Racing Blue colour.
