Jaguar has revealed the XFR-S Sportbrake. It'll cost £82k and produces 542bhp.
The Jaguar XF Sportbrake is a fantastic car but it has only, so far, been available as a diesel. The XFR-S is an amazing car but it has only, so far, been available as a saloon.
Now, in order to give the Germans a kicking Jaguar has finally put its brilliant 5 litre supercharged V8 in the estate version of the XF to create the XFR-S Sportbrake.
The Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake produces 542bhp and 501 lb ft of torque, and makes a ton of noise whilst doing so. The price is £82,495 and it'll be available to order from 1 April 2014.
Acceleration is swift with 0-60mph taking 4.6 seconds, and top speed is 186mph. Chassis and aerodynamic enhancements help to tame the extra power. The suspension is 30% stiffer, the electronic diff has been recalibrated, the front geometry has been revised and stiffened and the steering has been sharpened.
The gearbox is an 8-speed ZF unit with the Quickshift functionality normally found in the F-Type, which means it'll blip on down changes - and make an awesome noise.
The XFR-S Sportbrake will be available in five colours including the Ultra Blue you see in the photos.
The Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake looks pretty awesome.
