Jaguar's upcoming XFR-S high-performance saloon is fast and powerful and it has no problem showing off its prowess.
Unlike the tamer-looking XFR that gets by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 rated for 503hp (510PS), the flagship "S" model will flaunt its muscle through an aggressive body kit, which as these fresh spy pictures reveal for the very first time, will include an eye-catching rear wing of the sort you usually find on EVOs and STIs and not on Jaguar models…
Seen here in more or less finished production specification, the XFR-S adopts a newly styled front bumper with more muscular lines and larger lower grilles, while the car rides on new alloy wheels shod in low profile performance tires.
It also appears to wear beefier side skirts and has done away with the chrome trims that are now painted in black, while obtaining larger brake discs with red calipers.
The interior should receive some pampering from Jaguar's designers as well, with different seats, colors and trims.
Under the bonnet, the XFR-S will borrow the modified 5.0-liter supercharged V8 found in the XKR-S coupe that generates an additional 40-horsepower and 70Nm of peak torque for a total of 542hp (550PS) and 680Nm (501 lb-ft), though we could see slightly higher numbers on the sedan model.
The word on the street is that Jaguar is finishing up the development of the XFR-S, which could be revealed as early as this year.

Looks like a RICER's rear wing....
Agree, would have thought jaguar could have come up with a more elegant solution..
on the other hand they gave up on "pace and grace" about 2 decades ago.
The wing makes it look like a four door GTO from the side...
That rear wing/spoiler has got to go!!!
Re-do that spoiler then jaguar has themselves a bad azz pussy
Jaguar product team missing the mark again. First, not making the F-type a 2 plus 2. (If you're still targeting the 911 which varied reports say that they are, then they are definitely aiming wrong). Yes, others say they are targeting the boxster but if the XKR is missing the mark targeting the 911, and also missing the mark targeting GTs like the BMW M6, then what are they targeting with the F-type.? Lower sales? It would be a better sales strategy to target the 911 and M6 with the F-Type and the XKR, not a good strategy to target the Boxster and the M6. Now, they are missing the mark with the huge spoiler on the XFR-S whose competitive target is supposed to be the C-Suite executive's understated sports car: the BMW M5. No mass market appeal will be engendered in that price range when there is a massively overstated spoiler on the back of the car. Why do you think Panamera's, and Audi's A7 spoiler retracts? Because it is uuuggly!
