As reported earlier, the Jaguar XFR-S has made its debut at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show. More details and images have cropped up, including the price: a smidgen under £80k (RM390k). Coventry’s fastest and most powerful saloon yet is set to go on sale in the UK next May.
Sharing its drivetrain with the first R-S model, the XKR-S, the car gets 550 PS and 680 Nm of torque from its supercharged 5.0 litre Gen III AJ-V8. An eight-speed Quickshift gearbox (first seen in the F-Type sports car) allows a century sprint time of 4.4 seconds, while top speed is a governed 297 km/h.
There’s a redesigned front bumper with a carbon fibre splitter and larger intakes to improve breathing, as well as a reworked exhaust for more aural excitement (watch the launch video below with headphones on). The wing of that rear spoiler is carbon fibre, while beefed-up bodywork and new aggressive 20-inch ‘Varuna’ wheels show the world that this is no ordinary pussycat.
Suspension has also been fettled with, with the rates of the electronic dampers firmed up to further improve handling. Changes there are, too, to the throttle response, differential and Dynamic Stability Control system. Jaguar says lateral suspension stiffness and spring rates have been reduced by 30%, and overall lift by 68%.
The interior gets a treatment unique to the R-S range of models – carbon leather on the seat bolsters and armrests, and dark aluminium trimming for the dashboard. There’s also a choice of contrasting colour stitching and micro-piping which can be matched to the exterior paint scheme.
Colour choices are French Racing Blue, Ultimate Black, Stratus Grey, Polaris White and Italian Racing Red. The XFR-S is a product of Jaguar Land Rover’s specialist ETO (Engineered To Order) division, a department responsible for the XKR-S, Victoria Beckham Evoque and Jaguar XJ Ultimate.

common lah!
Yala,if this one is T.camry TRD-S/H.accord Mugen-S then only you will be impressed.
im not saying it’s common. Its just a slang “hey common lah, come to my house garage”
lol, how shallow minded are you?
Then you should write c’mon instead of COMMON.They are totally different genius
Hope nobody is gonna try to compare this car to toyota camry , honda accord, k5 or even..err proton preve..haha
Beautiful…no other words
Great car , and expected from Jaguar , the engine note should sound better than Pavarotti and Einaudi combine(definitely better than Gangnam style and its variations) .
But jaguar, could you loose that blue paint and that rear spoiler. In quite a trend here in Malaysia. It’s called the Ah Beng syndrome .
Lotus should come up with 4-doors like concept before.
They did, its call the Etern, it’s like a Panamera rivaling super saloon that looks super awesome and was to be launch in 2017 under Dant Bahar ultra ambitious 5 cars plan.
Sadly , Hicom has kicked Bahar out and replaced with someone most ppl outside Hicom don’t know. And the Etern and nearly all of lotus future , in the dustbin
Nice car.. But didnt Jag cane out with XFR alrdy?
£80k (RM390k) << Before excise duty
