As a filmmaker as well as Jaguar enthusiast, I thought your short was brilliant. Great cinematography, pacing, color and music bed.The launch theme subtely underscored the progressive nature of Jag. It visually and auditorally articulated the excitment of driving a machine of that calibre. I only have the XF and enjoy that but really dig it when I drive the XK. I'm waiting delivery on my XKF-5. Why? 'Cause you sold me. Isn't that what its ultimately about?!
@LukeNAESA10 i doubt any normal car can do 225 mph with 510 bhp. it's not much lighter than an E60 M5 which has 507 hp, and that can do unlimited about 204 mph.
21 more mph with only 3 extra horses is very hard to believe.
@Verliebt It's all about engineering, if the XFR did 225 mph, then it did. It's a much nicer, better looking car anyway. BMW still resides that square shape, like from the 90's. Typical interior, 100 shades of black, no exterior colours apart from most likely black and silver.
@LukeNAESA10 i am not saying that it didnt do that speed, even though they dont show the speedometer, what i am saying is that if it actually reached that speed, it was probably tuned, not stock, as you would suggest.
bmws can be bought in a multitude of colors, even for the interiour, but you clearly as i said in my first comment talk about things you dont know. you clearly prefer the XFR and consider it to be the best and dont care to look at what other cars can do or have to offer.
@masterdrummer19 IIRC:- de-catted, custom racing exhaust, modified ECU and modified supercharger. All engine internals including gearbox and clutch factory standard.
without the rear wing it would have been quicker but riskier.
@Mastermind12358 ok so one of their oldies was nice looking. but look at their middle years they were trying to recapture that magic but just end up looking like a mix between a Mercedes Benz and a 60s car with no corners.
@writofassistance People like you didn't care anyway. The reason you care about these new ones is the fact they're dominating the competition and you can't accept that fact that they are. You knew nothing about them from the start, and yes, I'm waiting to hear your fake stories about them.
@supertecnoboff true but it becomes exponentially more difficult to go faster when you reach that type of spped. That's why it takes 1000hp to to 260 but it takes less than 500hp to do 130.
@Willowman100 To run on the Bonneville salt flats is the true test of speed. The conditions vary so it's not always the same track. It's not like a controlled experiment which some auto makers choose to run Like Bugatti. Two runs in opposing directions and the average of the two gives your overall speed. Yes you can get higher speeds on asphalt but you will never find a straight roadway long enough to maintain such high speeds safely. The salt also adds to the complexity of the run.

It's not hard to reduce weight and add over the top aerodynamics to make a car go far faster than it's supposed to, but when the car can do this off the showroom floor, please let me know. I honestly find it a little disappointing that jaguar has the nerve to call this the fastest, when just glancing at the modifications done to this car, it's obvious that it wouldn't even come close in stock form.
Jaguar XF-R was designed by a Brit (Ian Callum), built by a British firm which had reaped the rewards of 18 years of US engineering, computing & financing. The car above was driven by an American pro racer - Paul Gentilozzi - using some pretty straight-forward race tuning and mods (new ECU, supercharger tweak, the obvious add of the spoiler, etc) on a US salt flat. The "only" thing India had to do with this video was to be home to Tata, who had enough foresight to know this car would rock.
Jaguar was a piece of shit when Ford owned it. An Indian company bought Jaguar and now the world has a different view for the Jaguar Company. America is a great country, but full of piece of shit car companies.
What you are seeing now from Jaguar is the culmination of over 20 years of work and Ford money. Do you honestly think Tata came in and in one year produced a whole new lineup and turned quality around? Here is a hint it take years for a company to put a car on the road. The current Jags were all spawned when Jaguar was owned by Ford.
@BamFor07 You are absolutely right and I completely agree with you and that is why I still believe Ford is a piece of shit company. All those years of effort into creating some of the best looking cars of the century and you sell the company that is eventually going to make you profit because you are in a loss? If Ford was a smarter company, the first thing they would have done is sell their luxury brands Mercury and Lincoln, which are basically Ford cars with chrome stickers on them.
I agree but it was the raising of cash through the sale of companies like Jaguar, Land Rover etc that helped raise the cash to keep Ford out of chapter 11. Well, that and mortgaging everything they owned. Selling Jaguar sucked from the the prespective of waisted effort but staying out of bankruptcy isn't always a dumb move.
@BamFor07 Yea that's true, but I they shouldn't have sold both Jaguar and Land Rover because these two companies are doing much better in their sales figures than ever before. I guess having something is better than having nothing at all.
Unfortunately, Jaguar and Land Rover are seen as a pair with neither one offering the full range of vehicles needed to compete today. It was a crappy spot for Ford, everybody, even they, knew down the road Jaguar would come back to life but they needed cash and they needed it right then. Too bad considering all the money that kept Jaguar alive since British Aerospace sold them off 20 years ago. But, without Ford there would be no Jaguar today.
@MadDogMeh If Jaguar as a brand would have been rebranded altogether into Some other Indian brand , regardless of its manufacturing base or even management, then it would have been an Indian Brand. Here, the very reason Tata's bought a British brand (Jaguar) was to make themselves established on the global market. And Tatas are trying very had to retain Jaguar's Britishness. Which is the very reason they have kept the manufacutring unit in the UK and the top management as British. (contd..)
@MadDogMeh (contd from previous).. Hence the brand Jaguar and the car itself will always remain British, it was even when Ford owned it (It never got known as American) and it will be even tomorrow if any other international firm owns it.
Well said mate. I dont mind Tatas taking over Jag or for that matter it associated with India or any other country. In fact Tatas have done wonders for Jag which had been under a mess under Ford. But then caling Jaguar Indian or American is not fair. The Brand has always been British and is manufactured in the UK. Tatas themselves have stated that Jag will remain a British brand and retain its true essence.
I dont think Jaguar is made in America tey were made in Coventry England it was best thing that came from Coventry. People from Coventry it was hard to say how proud you were when they were makeing cars those days. Jaguar had there good times like when they won 24 le mans in 1955. after that year jaguar stopped competing in the le mans but now jaguar is comeing back to le mans with the americans there keeping the car raceing pedigree alive
No, Jag has always been British. Created, engineered and built in Coventry (village of another gorgeous cat: Lady Godiva). Regardless of "ownership" Jag is distinctly English.
That camera man, or the guy who edited all the footages is an idiot. A lot of fast panning, speed up, slo-mo, zoom in, zoom out. I can't really see what is going on (or conclude anything from what i see), it just gives me headache.
Some rookie in his basement thinking he can do what the "real pros" do so well, it comes down to "good" editing.
The eye must "pick up" where it "left off"in the previous scene or else you get a headache trying to "track in" on the action....unless it's sequential action - meaning out left/in right or vise versa.
Any good montage leads the eye and then hook it up in the next scene.
Now that I've given this kid a little schooling he might produce some better work..:) - V8.
The Americans allways claim everything!!!! Even in world war 2 the mustang was a useless flying crate untill someone put a British Rolls Royce Merlin engine in it!!!! Yanks can make them big, but the brits make them fast!!!!!
Being from Coventry it was hard to say how proud you were when they were making the S-Type and X-Type (rebranded and rebodied Fords). The XF and has restored most of that now. Shame the rest of my city is a shithole though. We only have the Jag R and D site now. Keep up the good work Prodrive.
@AkBoy1000 you mean aston.....besides just cus a company owns it doesn't mean it's from the country of the parent company. Like chrysler is owned by fiat but it is definitely not italian.
@YouSoldMe No....lol Chrysler is still an american POS.........still no Chrysler cars I would by as of late.....I wish they would have dodge revive the shadow, but this time - do it right. give it a few options - awd, rear wheel, front wheel...something! ......and have a true convertible version...... unfortunately........they wont do it............because they undoubtedly suck.......
Based on shaky blurry camera footage and dramatic shots of the desert floor, I've come to the conclusion that the modifications done to the XFR is the use of 4 wheels, a shift knob, and a steering wheel inside for the driver.
@zep0c0llie And while it was american it sucked. i mean XJ220 fail (as much as I loved the XJ220). X type fail. S type fail (I loved the S-Type nonetheless, nearly bought one). But now that its on the winning team its got the XFR. XK, XF ect. Much better under "some indian group"
Damn, was looking forward to seeing some great video and all I got was a camerman's ego with ultra quick cuts and a headache. Is this the new trend? Ever watch (or try to ) an auto show with the zooming in/away, super close-ups . qick pans and the like. It seems the camera never remains on a particular subject long enough to allow my brain to focus. Oh well, love the car anyway.
TATA Group was founded in 1868 and now it has an annual revenue of 76.5billion and worth 58billion dollars. India and Britain have a long history together and we share some culture too. India is the second largest investor in Britian now. Either way we like the Brits for some reason dont ask why may be because they are a bit honest unlike Uncle ruin it all.
It is an absolutely superb looking car. Both this XFR and the normal very beautiful XF. Well done Jaguar and well done the true genius designer Ian Callum. He also designed the Aston Martin. I am a giant fan of the new Jaguar XF and of Jaguar in general. They have an incredibly great and interesting history.
Same gear ratios yes, it ran the standard ZF 6 speed gear box, standard wheels and tyres, all they did was air intake, upgraded supercharged Pulley wheel, exhaust (no CATS) and a remap ECU.... oh and the rear wing to keep the back end down :o)
@alexrowland Jaguar, one of the most important BRITISH car makers, with a lot of history behind it, in racing and road cars that were very appreciated by the entire planet, is mistaken for an American maker? You really have to know nothing about the car industry to even say that. Even if it is owned by Indians or Americans, it will always be British.
@alxcsb All I'm saying is that I could **UNDERSTAND*** why someone might **MISTAKENLY THINK*** Jaguar has American roots, not that I personally think that. Ford owned them for TWENTY YEARS before just barely selling them off. Not everyone is a car buff and after two decades of ownership by a quintessentially American company, It doesn't seem so ridiculous that somebody might think they were an American company as well. Period. That's my only point. I can't explain this in any other way.
@alexrowland I understand your point, but we were not talking about a new British car maker that is on the market for 2 years, Jaguar has almost 90 years of history behind it. They invented BRITISH RACING GREEN. If we think about, we could call Bugatti, Rolls Royce and Mini German companies and TVR Russian. I think we can both agree that you keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you are talking about, like koenma15 should have done.

@poptate7 Well, legally Jaguar is Indian, if Jaguar was sold to TATA, it is TATA's...

@MadDogMeh If Jaguar as a brand would have been rebranded altogether into Some other Indian brand , regardless of its manufacturing base or even management, then it would have been an Indian Brand. Here, the very reason Tata's bought a British brand (Jaguar) was to make themselves established on the global market. And Tatas are trying very had to retain Jaguar's Britishness. Which is the very reason they have kept the manufacutring unit in the UK and the top management as British. (contd..)

@MadDogMeh (contd from previous).. Hence the brand Jaguar and the car itself will always remain British, it was even when Ford owned it (It never got known as American) and it will be even tomorrow if any other international firm owns it.

Well said mate. I dont mind Tatas taking over Jag or for that matter it associated with India or any other country. In fact Tatas have done wonders for Jag which had been under a mess under Ford. But then caling Jaguar Indian or American is not fair. The Brand has always been British and is manufactured in the UK. Tatas themselves have stated that Jag will remain a British brand and retain its true essence.

I dont think Jaguar is made in America tey were made in Coventry England it was best thing that came from Coventry. People from Coventry it was hard to say how proud you were when they were makeing cars those days. Jaguar had there good times like when they won 24 le mans in 1955. after that year jaguar stopped competing in the le mans but now jaguar is comeing back to le mans with the americans there keeping the car raceing pedigree alive

No, Jag has always been British. Created, engineered and built in Coventry (village of another gorgeous cat: Lady Godiva). Regardless of "ownership" Jag is distinctly English.

That camera man, or the guy who edited all the footages is an idiot. A lot of fast panning, speed up, slo-mo, zoom in, zoom out. I can't really see what is going on (or conclude anything from what i see), it just gives me headache.

Some rookie in his basement thinking he can do what the "real pros" do so well, it comes down to "good" editing.
The eye must "pick up" where it "left off"in the previous scene or else you get a headache trying to "track in" on the action....unless it's sequential action - meaning out left/in right or vise versa.
Any good montage leads the eye and then hook it up in the next scene.
Now that I've given this kid a little schooling he might produce some better work..:) - V8.

Being from Coventry it was hard to say how proud you were when they were making the S-Type and X-Type (rebranded and rebodied Fords). The XF and has restored most of that now. Shame the rest of my city is a shithole though. We only have the Jag R and D site now. Keep up the good work Prodrive.

Based on shaky blurry camera footage and dramatic shots of the desert floor, I've come to the conclusion that the modifications done to the XFR is the use of 4 wheels, a shift knob, and a steering wheel inside for the driver.

Damn, was looking forward to seeing some great video and all I got was a camerman's ego with ultra quick cuts and a headache. Is this the new trend? Ever watch (or try to ) an auto show with the zooming in/away, super close-ups . qick pans and the like. It seems the camera never remains on a particular subject long enough to allow my brain to focus. Oh well, love the car anyway.

TATA Group was founded in 1868 and now it has an annual revenue of 76.5billion and worth 58billion dollars. India and Britain have a long history together and we share some culture too. India is the second largest investor in Britian now. Either way we like the Brits for some reason dont ask why may be because they are a bit honest unlike Uncle ruin it all.

It is an absolutely superb looking car. Both this XFR and the normal very beautiful XF. Well done Jaguar and well done the true genius designer Ian Callum. He also designed the Aston Martin. I am a giant fan of the new Jaguar XF and of Jaguar in general. They have an incredibly great and interesting history.

Same gear ratios yes, it ran the standard ZF 6 speed gear box, standard wheels and tyres, all they did was air intake, upgraded supercharged Pulley wheel, exhaust (no CATS) and a remap ECU.... oh and the rear wing to keep the back end down :o)

obviously stripped out interior and everything else
nonfunctional or useless for a speed test
(like the passanger seats , door panels etc. )
lightweight windows , and it looks lowered down a lot ...
I don't think the regular XFR will hit 225 mph ,
nonetheless fantastic car though.

@alxcsb Before it was just barely bought out by an Indian car company, Jaguar was owned by Ford which is as we all know, an American car company.
Whoever said that was probably just confused by it's past.
alexrowland 1 year ago
@alexrowland Jaguar, one of the most important BRITISH car makers, with a lot of history behind it, in racing and road cars that were very appreciated by the entire planet, is mistaken for an American maker? You really have to know nothing about the car industry to even say that. Even if it is owned by Indians or Americans, it will always be British.
alxcsb 1 year ago
@alxcsb All I'm saying is that I could **UNDERSTAND*** why someone might **MISTAKENLY THINK*** Jaguar has American roots, not that I personally think that. Ford owned them for TWENTY YEARS before just barely selling them off. Not everyone is a car buff and after two decades of ownership by a quintessentially American company, It doesn't seem so ridiculous that somebody might think they were an American company as well. Period. That's my only point. I can't explain this in any other way.
alexrowland 1 year ago
@alexrowland I understand your point, but we were not talking about a new British car maker that is on the market for 2 years, Jaguar has almost 90 years of history behind it. They invented BRITISH RACING GREEN. If we think about, we could call Bugatti, Rolls Royce and Mini German companies and TVR Russian. I think we can both agree that you keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you are talking about, like koenma15 should have done.
