Jaguar's Top Cat Readies To Pounce On The German Heavyweights - But Does The XFR-S Have What It Takes?

With the new £79,995, 542bhp XFR-S, the excuses Jaguar has had up until now not to be compared with rivals from the likes of BMW’s M-division, Audi’s RS department and Mercedes’ AMG powerhouse come screeching to a halt.

That’s because this time, Jaguar can, and indeed must, compete squarely with the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Audi’s new RS6. And if it can’t, well, the mission will have failed.

XFR-S ?

Are you sure its not XFR-SR or RS or RSR S ??

Most stupid and tacky name you can use for a vehicle.

And we wont mention the tacky bodykit, looks like what you would expect on an Opel or Holden Monaro

Don't know if I'd buy it, because its a fairly old design, but I damn sure like it.

Great alternative to the German makers. This would be my pick...hopefully a spoiler delete is an option.
