The Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake has been spied for the very first time. The model is expected to be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show to be held in September.
There was not much clarity as to whether Jaguar was planning a more practical XFR-S but these spy images depict the Sportbrake model which will come with a larger boot. The model looks hotter than before which is mainly due to generous air intakes, beefy diffuser, a quad exhaust setup, large alloys with low-profile performance tires, bigger brakes and the badging at the back.
The XFR-S Sportbrake will borrow the sedan’s supercharged V8 5.0-liter engine which generates output of 542 hp (405 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft). The regular 2014 XFR-S fitted with the eight-speed ZF transmission gearbox can achieve the 0-62 mph (0-100 kmph) sprint in just 4.6 seconds and comes with an electronically-capped top speed of 186 mph (300 kmph).
But talking about the performance of the Sportbrake version, the model will probably be a tad slower in the 0-62 mph sprint which would be mainly due to the added weight. More details would be revealed when the model nears its launch and only then we would come to know of what the performance of the model would be like.
