Not bad...Take any car through a tunnel and it sounds amazing. WRX type spoiler? Not sure about that on a Jag. Whats the HSP?

Spoiler delete would definitely be marked in the build sheet....

"Under the hood, Jaguar has installed the same engine you will find in the XKR-S: a 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 unit that delivers a total of 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque"

The 4Matic E63 will walk on it all day...but it still sounds good

Sounds good, not to loud so you could still make it a daily driver.

Not a huge fan of the styling in general though. Seems to be missing something to really make it pop.

Sounds very good. A cross between a M156 and a S65.

That is what I thought as well. I think best to get it flow is the ARDEN exhaust for the XFR..sounds incredible

Looks terribly like a Pontiac G8.

You know what that video needs...

More cowbell.





I like the deeper sound of the M156, not too shabby though.

It looks much better in person, nothing like a G8. Here's some pics I shot.

Hopefully the E63 AMG 4Matic will look half as good as well.

I think it looks great. I can see the design drawing inspiration from the c63 and m3

Looks and sounds nice, the 63 is more guttural though....

Not fan of that rear wing

Interesting...thx for posting...would never have seen it otherwise. Good for Jaguar, continually repositioning the brand and getting as far away from those dreadful "shared-Ford-platform" days as possible. Really like this car in that blue...

Saw one of these in my neighborhood this week. Definitely sounds sweet, but it's hideous. Looks like a Japanese Jaguar, if there is such a thing.
The LEDs in the headlights look like Christmas lights and the wing in the back is ridiculous.

Is it really worth 99K though? It needs a new muffler section, way too raspy for me TBH. It sounds great from infront of the car but you can hear it rasp as soon as the car passes

I understand that Japanese Jaguar idea haha, first thing I thought of when I saw that spoiler was:

Since I actually have a functional big wing on my car, I can say that I like it. But I actually think its too slow for a car that exclusive. Should be in the 0-60 3.5sec range. With the E63s and CLS63s hitting 3.4secs...no real reason to get this car.

Rear wing is optional, but 400+ kws and only 4.6 0-100???
