Jaguar has taken the wraps off the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S at the 2012 LA Auto Show. The 550 horsepower XFR-S is the fastest and most powerful sedan that Jaguar has ever built. The XFR-S incorporates engineering features from both the XKR-S and the all-new F-Type sports car to create the most driver-focused, agile and responsive iteration of Jaguar's XF range.
The XFR-S is powered by a 5.0L supercharged V8 with 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft. of torque. Fitted with an eight-speed transmission incorporating Jaguar's 'Quickshift' technology, the XFR-S reaches 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph.
On the outside the updates to the 2014 XFR-S are meant to make it more aerodynamic. The front gets a deeper front bumper with larger lower air intakes, vertical vanes and a carbon fiber front splitter. Deeper sills and unique 'aero-blades' ensure a clean passage of air along the side of the car and on to the deeper rear bumper sides while a carbon fiber rear diffuser between the signature quad tailpipes extends underneath the rear of the XFR-S to reduce lift. It is aided in this by a bootlid mounted spoiler, two designs being available. Overall lift is reduced by 68%.
Unique 20-inch lightweight forged alloy 'Varuna' wheels are wider front and rear and are shod with specially developed Pirelli rubber, giving the XFR-S a more muscular stance and increasing its grip and stability. Allied to this are extensive suspension revisions which serve to increase lateral suspension stiffness by 30% for greater steering precision and responsiveness. Revisions to both spring rates and the adaptive damper tune increase the feeling of connectivity with the road surface, providing confidence-inspiring handling and a supple, controlled ride. Recalibrated active electronic differential and Dynamic Stability Control settings allow the enthusiastic driver to make the most of the huge potential of the XFR-S.
The 2014 XFR-S will arrive by the summer starting just under $100k.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
$75k tops, maybe. So much other stuff to look at for $100k.

Agreed. I think PGT had it right. At 68k, HELL yes. 72k? Ok, but it better come with some options. 75k? The only option better be me paying for the leather from cows that was raised by virgins, fed grass out of field full of Kentucky Blue grass that was watered from Deep Park water.

It blows me away how so many OEM's are now using front bumper designs that look like something that you would see in an issue of Super Street or Import Tuner from the 90's-00's. Goes to show that it wasn't all rice and there was some r&d behind em.
