To the new model year, Jaguar refreshes on the XF series. The top model XFR got a slightly gro?mauligere look it and retained the well-known V8 engine with compressor-boot.
Technical changes? Absent. Why we the 510 PS strong sedan still went? Well, we do that but not every day.
Jaguar design director Ian Callum assume the rational arguments. The larger air intakes in the front apron of the new Jaguar XFR is "more" so a guys thing. Not that the eight cylinder engine would need more air.
It remained untouched in the model maintenance and would have still preserved a relatively cool head even at high speed Bolzerei. But the look of the Jaguar XFR, Callum, says could meet quite a bit more the impressive facts & figures - five litres displacement, 510 PS, 625 nm. The grill of the Jaguar XFRwollte he already something larger, on the other hand, the headlights were slim.
Inside the XF series, still with the gearbox rotary switch driving from the sank and grille pan on show impressed, at the same time, the first eight bass by the four tailpipes of the Jaguar XFR into the open slide. So that the aluminium engine verdonnerte of a roots compressor to peak performance at every RPM sounds like as many cylinders and much capacity, the pressure pulses in the intake tract are sent by an acoustic filter - and it works.
At a slow pace, the Jaguar XFR on a soft carpet of soft bass rolls from 4,000 revolutions storms like rumbling relentlessly on the asphalt to push the at least 1.9 ton four. In 4.9 seconds to the 100 km/h mark from are gewatscht from the State, but already at 250 km/h, even British humour has its (electronic) limits. This steam of direct einspritzers condensed with 9.5: 1 is enough Jaguar XFR safely for much more, but he may not.
The Jaguar XFR can by the way also no longer feathers, ensure the tight primary vote of Adaptive suspension and in particular the standard 20-inch wheels. After all, some nasty bumps fizzle in the lushly padded sports seats. Also of advantage: the low page tendency of the Jaguar XFR - a good prerequisite for life away from the start and finish line.
Measured on the lush vehicle weight the Jaguar XFR fluctuates the serpentine in the foothills of the extremely agile up and down, including the direct steering contributes its part. Only, the response could be a trace reliably. Now you should left the gently shifting six levels of attendant of the Jaguar XFR no longer to itself, but the ZF 6HP28-Box via shift paddles dictate the next gear.
The driver can make even a mistake: thinking about the consumption of at least 92.700 Euro expensive Jaguar XFR. Has the Jaguar XFR out gepufft the average promised by the manufacturer of 12.5 L / 100 km long. Too much? Ok. Flourish, appearance of new XF with 190 HP strong cylinder diesel engine, eight levels of automatic and start stop system.
As this variant goes, you read in the next issue of auto motor und sport, which will be released on 14 July.
