Subjectivity certainly comes in to it, but it’s not the subjective views on the design or the perception that dictates the opinion that the XFR is one of the finest cars on the road. […]
Jaguar XFR Review: The Competition
Jaguar hasn’t picked an easy niche to compete in. The Germans are kings of the super sport saloon, and it’s a huge task to take them on. The BMW M5 is the obvious competition, but you can throw in the Audi RS6 and the Mercedes E63 AMG in to that mix. The BMW M5 is, […]
Jaguar XFR Review: On the Drive
We review the 5.0 litre Jaguar XFR Supercharged to see if it’s a match for the BMW M5 and Audi RS6. All the Jaguar news of late has been on the new Jaguar XJ. But the car that started the real Jaguar Renaissance was the Jaguar XF, and the halo version of that successful car […]

Jaguar Heritage Museum gets re-launched
All things Jaguar have been in the news lately, particularly the reveal of the new Jaguar XJ last week. But Jaguar has a lot of Heritage to be proud of (even if it’s arguable that an over-reliance on that history has been partly to blame for is lack of appeal in recent years) and it’s […]
