Finally The New XFR Is Revealed

Here it is ladies and gentlemen, the moment we've all been waiting for - the new Jaguar XFR has finally been shown to the public for the first time at the Detroit motorshow, and its simply gorgeous!

Pictures hardly do the car justice, so lets get on to the details, sexy exterior first: What you can see are the trademark R bonnet vents from the Jaguar XKR along with a much deeper front bumper with huge chromed air intakes to help the engine breathe, and a deeper protruding front splitter-like lip to give front downforce. Sculpted deep side sills help the look, as does a discreet boot spoiler and trademark R quad exhausts poking out from under the new rear bumper. And to top it off there's a great looking set of turbine style 20" alloys in the style of turbine rotors.

So its a head turner, but how fast does it go? More good news looking at the performance statistics - Jaguar is clearly back into the power war with the German big boys: an all new 510 bhp 5.0 litre V8 motor, (known as the AJ V8 Gen III) with 625Nm of torque available from very low revs means the XFR will have the M5 beat in most driving conditions, due to not just more power but more accessible power 0-60 takes only 4.7 seconds.

Alongside this mighty motor, the Jaguar XFR has some advanced chassis upgrades over the standard XF: a faster steering rack gives more responsive handling, and the standard CATS suspension has been ditched for some electronically controlled Bistein shocks which are linked to the new active rear differential as seen in the latest Ferraris, all controlled on board, meaning if you want to take the XFR to the track and produce some 100 yard powerslides then no problem.

The XFR debuts at your local dealer in March with UK prices set at £59,900 but expect a waiting list. We are looking forward to both reading the road test reports from all the motoring press on this one and also taking this beast for a spin ourselves - we will report back as soon as we've had our bum on the beautifully sculpted seat.
