Jaguar XFR

So, is the Jaguar XFR for sale now? No, but it’s getting close!

Back in August last year I wrote a piece about the new Jaguar XF hoping, really hoping, that this was the car that would save Jaguar. And despite its ‘Japanese’ looks it’s stacking up to be a very good car indeed. Modern, fast, clever and very much a ‘now’ car. It’s received great reviews, and sales are promising, but there’s a long way to go.

What’s needed these days is a performance model at the top of the range, so even those driving ‘lesser’ models feel good that their car is ‘almost’ the barn-storming top of the range. Think M5 for BMW,  E63 for Mercedes and RS6 for Audi. Well, the Jaguar version, the XFR, has shown itself at Goodwood this weekend, and it promises to be a star!

500bhp. 0-60 in under 4 seconds and great handling. This will really give the Germans something to think about. It promises to be as fast, if not faster, than anything comparable, plus it has the style and grace (and pace!) that Jaguars should have. It has wider wheel-arches, lowered suspension and skirts and a new nose. It looks every inch the mean German-basher it is designed to be, even under that nose disguise.

The Jaguar XFR will probably not be unveiled until the Paris show in October, but this jaunt at Goodwood was a great way to ‘tease.

Can’t wait!
