Trump Card? Jaguar Teases The 542 HP XFR-S The Next BMW M5 Killer

Jaguar has released an official teaser photo of its new XFR-S, which is set to be the most powerful saloon car ever to wear the leaping cat badge.

As we can see from the new photo, the XFR-S model will get an even more aggressive body kit than the standard XFR, as well as carbonfibre elements up front.


The R-S saloon will share its powertrain with its coupe cousin, the XKR-S. Although Jaguar has today released only this photo and no concrete details, CAR understands that power from the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 is boosted from 503bhp to 542bhp, bringing the XFR-S more into line with its rivals from BMW, Mercedes and Porsche, all of which churn out between 542 and 552bhp from their bi-turbo V8s.

ah NO....! The Cadillac CTS-V which is due for replacement soon already have 550+ hp and the current BMW which just got total new design and more powerful twinturbo V8 is pumping 550+ hp as well.

A lot of rumors even suggest that the BMW M5 is pushing close to 600 hp because of the high horsepower number on the dyno test results.
