2010 Jaguar XFR - The Mean Cat

Jaguar is testing the water with their new fan club on the XF. The XFR however is a serious machine and luxury who is ready to go head to head with the M5 and the E63 AMG. The XFR receives a new, direct-injected 5.0L V-8 (also available for the 2010 XF). The XFR's mill receives pressurization from a Roots-type, twin-intercooled supercharger. Despite a mighty output of 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque, the new engine comes sans weight or fuel mileage penalty -- its 15/23-mpg rating is the same as the outgoing supercharged 4.2L. Jaguar attributes this to a variety of new and altered components, including a direct-injection system, a variable-length intake manifold, and variable camshaft timing. But this thing is fast and sexy, so until the new CAFE standard is in effect, some of the $80k big spender can still pick up this mean cat at the store. Meaoow..
