Jaguar XFR 2010 review

      The Jaguar XFR was introduced in 2010 with all the goods to compete in the high-end luxury performance sedan market with the likes of the Audi RS6 and Mercedes E63 AMG. XFR’s power, and there's plenty of it, comes from a supercharged 5.0 liter V8 outputting 510 bhp.

         The XFR’s engine is powered by the all-new supercharged 510PS V8 with acceleration from 0-60mph in just 4.7 seconds making it the ultimate Jaguar sport saloon. A naturally aspirated 5.0 litres V8, producing 385PS, powers other V8 XF models. The new XF 3.0 litres AJ-V6D Gen III diesel features a twin sequential turbocharged engine available as the 275PS/600Nm S or a 240PS/500Nm version. 

        The interior of XFR be enhancements, advanced lightweight aluminium body structure and a wider range of models, plus the new luxurious 'Portfolio' model. It remain largely unchanged, save for the application of a big "R" logo on the glovebox. To the glee of enthusiasts, Jaguar outfits the front seats with electrically adjustable bolstering and quickens the steering ratio. The new XKR’s Exterior include a distinctive and purposeful new front end design, new LED rear lights and a new lower rear body valance. Inside the cabin, feature the exciting.

2010 Jaguar XKR review

          The 2010 XKR features some big Jaguar innovations, and is worth a serious look for the first time for the suit-and-tie types. It is not all that different from its predecessor, but the few changes key in for a very attractive overall package that both makes a singular design statement and brings the XKR more in line with what most of Europe is up to these days.

         The exterior of XKR are highlighted by a distinctive and purposeful new front end design, new LED rear lights and a new lower rear body valance. New LED rear light clusters incorporating fog lamps plus twin reversing lamps (rather than the previous single lamp units) give every new XK a unique night time signature, while LED technology is also included in the integrated side repeater and approach lamps in the new exterior mirrors.

         The XKR offered by 5.0-litres direct-injection V8 engines comes a new level of performance for the XK, with improved acceleration from standstill and stunning in-gear acceleration times. All models are electronically limited to a maximum speed of 155mph (250kph), but the 0-60mph sprint for naturally aspirated coupe models is now 5.2 seconds (previously 5.9 seconds), while for the supercharged XKR coupe, 0-60mph is 4.6 seconds.
