The new 2013 Jaguar XFR-S is ranked as the company's
fastest, most agile and powerful sports saloon ever. It is equipped with
the same supercharged V8 engine that powers the XKR-S coupe.
Jaguar integrates engineering features from the XKR-S and the new F-TYPE car, creating the most driver-focused and responsive iteration of Jaguar's XF saloon range.

Engine
The XFR-S uses a 5.0L supercharged V8 powertrain that makes 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. This power enables the car to sprint from standstill to 60 mph in remarkable 4.4 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. This engine is connected to an 8-speed automatic gearbox with Quickshift technology that allows the driver to operate it in sport, manual or automatic modes.
The engine received a few revisions including a larger central bearing on the driveshaft, new torque converter, and efficient half shafts. The suspension and braking systems have also been updated.
Exterior
The 2013 XFR-S is offered in five colors: French Racing Blue, Stratus gray, Italian racing red, ultimate black and Polaris white. These colors are merged with a gloss-black trim around the rear and front screens, across the trunk, windows, and grille.
The body comes with an elongated aero blade and side sills, extended rear bumper, new spoilers, and side moldings. The aerodynamic package has been developed using carbon fiber and helps in lowering the body weight. The XFR-S is fitted with 20-inch Varuna alloy-wheel to go with Pirelli tires.
Interior
The inside is offered in similar choices as the XKR-S. The seats, armrests, seat bolsters and doors are offered in warm charcoal leather trim. The embossed R-S logo on the seats can be finished with an option of contrast stitching and color micro-piping in blue, ivory or red depending on customer's preference. It comes with an 825-watt, 18-speaker Meridian surround system.
It is clear that the 2013 Jaguar XFR-S has been designed specifically for high performance driving. Competition will come from rivals like Mercedes CLS63 AMG, although the CLS is intended for customers interested in luxury.
