Jaguar XFR-S – tease take 2

The Jaguar XFR-S – a more powerful version of the XFR – will debut tomorrow at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but we get a second tease first.

Jaguar’s punt at making the now ageing XFR credible against the new BMW M5 – the Jaguar XFR-S – is getting its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show tomorrow, but ahead of that full reveal Jaguar is teasing interest with its second teaser photo of the most powerful saloon they’ve ever built.

Last week we got a front view of the XFR-S with its more aggressive nose (and Jaguar’s favourite ‘Speedy’ blue paint job) and this week we get to see the thumping great carbon fibre rear wing Jaguar has bolted on the back of the XFR-S.

We still don’t have any specifics about just how much power the XFR-S will have to play with, but it doesn’t seem to far fetched to expect it to be similar to the XKR-S, with up to 550bhp to play with.

That will give the XFR-S almost as much as the M5 (560bhp) and a chunk more than the Mercedes E63 AMG (518bhp) which should be enough to push the XFR-S closer to the 4 second 0-62mph mark.

We’re just hoping that Jaguar don’t give the XFR-S a rock hard suspension setup, but we won’t know that until we get our hands on one. But we will know tomorrow what the rest of the Jaguar XFR-S looks like.
