2014 Jaguar XFR-S
2014 Jaguar XFR-S 

At the Los Angeles Auto Show serious performance was displayed, where the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S sedan was revealed.  The letters in Jaguar's R-S breed don't stand for “really serious,” but maybe they should.

Much like the performance-oriented 2012 Jaguar XKR-S, the 2014 XFR-S is all business, dressed in carbon-fiber, enhanced aerodynamic treatments and wide, 20-inch wheels.

Engine

The supercharged 5.0-liter V8 in the XFR-S leaps to 550 hp and 502 lb-ft allowing for a cat-like, 4.4-second sprint to 60 mph and a top speed of 186 mph. The power-train is completed with a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox.  The new 2014 Jaguar XFR-S is ranked as the company's fastest, most agile and powerful sports sedan ever.

Even with all that additional power, the XFR-S is expected to get up to 23 mpg on the highway. That means it won't be subject to the gas-guzzler tax.

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.

The body comes standard with an elongated aero blade and side sills, extended rear bumper, new spoilers, and side moldings. The aerodynamic package was created using carbon fiber and helps by lowering the body weight. Also, the XFR-S is fitted with 20-inch Varuna alloy-wheel to go with Pirelli tires.


Sale

Now you better hurry because only 100 Jaguar XFR-S sedans will be available for the 2014 model year in the United States, starting at $99,875.  According to MotorTrend the XFR-S will, "sell out for those who like the XKR-S but need an extra set of doors."  This sporty sedan should astound it's audience when put to the test.

I find this car a thing of beauty.  The Jaguar XFR-S may seem superficial but in reality it's power backs it's beauty.  Although the XFR-S's base price reaches $100,000 you have to realize this is a luxury sedan.  Meaning it's for a select few, but admiring it's elegance is open to all.
