A South African Jaguar dealersales executive says he and his colleagues are getting ready to welcome the fastest, most powerful sedan ever produced by the brand. The man, who spoke anonymously to IN4RIDE, says the XFR S is on its way here, along with the XKR S Convertible. Both these products point to an aggressive stance on the kitty’s part, especially considering that the German rivals aren’t sitting on their laurels either.
The XFR S is of course based on the XF sedan, but is more powerful than the XFR. It uses the same 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine, but instead of 375kW, it makes a more entertaining 405kWand peak torque of 680Nm. Acceleration should be around 4.4 or 4.5 seconds to 100km/h. Clearly its chief rival will be the new BMW M5, with the Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG riding shotgun if specified with the AMG Performance Pack worth 410kW.
The car will come kitted differently from the XFR, with more menacing bits like the front grille and rear spoiler. Suspension will also be decidedly harder, and hence sportier for even better handling. Look to receive the XFR S in South Africabefore June at a price that will tip over the R1 million mark.
XKR S Convertible is of course an offshoot of the XK, XKR and XKRS Coupe. Its biggest headachewill appear in the form of the BMW M6 Convertible, which has been confirmed for SA before June.
