Jaguar 5.0 V8 XFR Supercharged
What is it?
The hottest XF yet and Jaguar’s fastest ever four-door saloon. Supercharged BMW M5 rival comes with the firm’s latest blown 5.0-litre V8 engine, producing over 500bhp, along with high tech adaptive damping and a limited slip differential. Near £60k price tag.
What’s hot?
- Unsurprisingly, the performance: 0-60mph in 4.9 secs…
- …and huge shove in every gear thanks to 625Nm of torque
- Lovely V8 rumble under power, whisper quiet when cruising
- Six-speed auto is super smooth, paddles are great fun
- Adaptive Dynamics sharpens steering, suspension and throttle…
- …results in amazing agility, direct steering and huge grip
- Ride is simply superb despite 20-inch alloys
- Cabin beautifully built, sumptuous leather throughout
What’s not?
- Rather thirsty at 22.5mpg combined
- …and 292g/km CO2 means an ECO scheme is needed…
- …or a good personal lease deal
- Front lights still look too much like a Lexus
- Depreciation likely to be terrifying
