Jag XFR-S

[Andyk]

I rather like this....550 bhp...0-60 4.4 sec and 80k......This is going to be one fast Jag....Would imagine the rear spoiler will not be to everyones taste but you can have a smaller one....

nice looking car aside from the wheels. Looks like it gets the new ZF 8sp, would rather some kind of DCT box but oh well, would love to take one for a drive one day!

I'd take the new M5 any day of the week.

I think I would Benny but the thing with the M5 is that its lost it's identity....The M5 has always stood out from the rest of the range but now it can look like aby other BMW......3/7.......My E39 M5 was just the perfect 5 and the E60 was very different to the 3 and 7 to look at...The new 5 just blends in with the crowd.....and yes the new M5 will take some beating on performance......A Maserati would not see which way it went as would most cars South of 120k.....

I do love the front of the Jag though..Very mean.

It does look good, very aggressive stance but it's a big car to paint French Racing Blue (assuming that's what it is). I had the regular XFR and it was stunning, and a pile more under-stated than the new XFR-S (especially with that Marmite spoiler...). I found the Jag far too easy to drive far too fast, though. Could have got me in a lot of trouble a few times.

I rathe rlike tye colour...I know lots don't tough going on the Piston Heads feed back......Think the other spoiler you can have in a lip pn which could look better.........Mind you I would like the colour as my M3 in Laguna Sega blue which is a bit like that Jag colour.
