Jaguar XFR-S (Spy)

[Touareg 2.5]

Tutt’altra storia, sempre seguendo le anticipazioni di AutoExpress, è quella relativa alla XFR-S: frescha di restyling, la XF è stata subito presentata anche nella variante sportiva XFR, già decisamente più aggressiva del modello di base e forte dei 510 Cv erogati dallo stesso V8 sovralimentato della XK, in versione meno estrema. L’arrivo di una eventuale XFR-S potrebbe semplicemente comportare l’adozione del V8 550 Cv ed una rivisitazione dell’assetto, oltre alla quasi scontata tiratura in serie limitata. Chissà che non sia un modo per “contenere” l’arrivo della nuova e minacciosa Bmw M5 F10 V8 Biturbo, visto che una nuova generazione della XF arriverà solo nel 2015.

Rinascono voci sulla possibile XFR-S.

Update: altro progetto da me anticipato in tempi non sospetti e confermato. XFR-S

When is a Jaguar XFRnot a Jaguar XFR? When it's an XFR-S, that's when. So while this vehicle may look like your standard supercharged Jaguar sedan, it's actually a British rocket aimed – in a bit of role reversal – squarely at Germany.

Spied undergoing development work at Jaguar's test center near the Nürburgring, this test mule looks pretty much like the XFR you can already get from your local Jag dealer. But our sources on the ground tell us it sounds more like the XKR-S, the 550-horsepower super-coupe seen running alongside it.

Though the prototype pictured lacks the exterior visual cues that would go along with the anticipated engine swap, the telltale exhaust bellow tells us the likes of the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG had better take notice.

Jaguar is to seriously considering a hotter ‘S’ version of the Jaguar XFR super saloon. Senior company insiders admit that the 503bhp XFR is “a bit outgunned” by new rivals such as the 552bhp BMW M5 and 549bhp Mercedes E63 AMG, and Jaguar plans to retaliate with the introduction of a faster and more focused range-topping model that will be badged XFR-S.

The ‘R-S’ moniker has already been established on the recently launched Jaguar XKR-S, and sources admit that they are likely to “give the XFR the same treatment.”

No specific details are known, but expect firmer chassis settings, more aggressive styling and exhaust note, plus a power upgrade to bring the output of the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 up to around 550bhp. The car was spied in testing at the Nurburgring last summer.

As the range-topping model, the XFR-S will cost at least £5k more than the standard XF, which is likely to continue to be sold just as the standard XKR is still sold beneath the XKR-S. The premium would put the hottest XF at over £70k – very close in price to its key rivals.

Quell'alettone non la fa però poi molto British style
