Ultimate Jag? Jaguar XFR @ 2009 NAIAS

[bloozeman101]

It is not a true jaguar.

It is a hatchback ----sure, it is more practical, but its not "jaguarish" enough

and im sorry for all you jaguar enthusiasts, but its my opinion. X

[m5loverx]

@bloozeman101 This car is the future of Jaguar it might not be reminiscent of the Jaguar you know, but i think that was Jaguars downfall they had become to set in their old ways and their designs had become stale and this started to hurt their sales.

However having looked at this car and future designs making their way into production i feel Jaguar has become modern and fresh and will appeal to a broad spectrum of people, which will save a brand that deserves to be here. :)

[bloozeman101]

IT'S A MONDEO!!!!!!

[a12b4d]

yeah i suppose if you havent been blessed with the gift of sight than it may look like a mondeo. you fool, how can you compare one of the greatest 4 door sedans to a boring old mondeo.

[blagahaga]

shame it looks shit =/

[LukeXgamer]

Shame it looks shit? Well, maybe in your eyes. In mine it's beautiful. Too bad.

[blagahaga]

man, it looks abit like a volvo, i just think the styling is abit bland, thats all. I think Jag have lost abit of ingenuity with their design, for example, think about how iconic the E type was, that was like, a shape everyone could remember. If you saw this without badges on, driving down the road, you wouldn't instantly be like "Oh look, a jag" It would be more like " Could be an audi, lexus,Volvo" if you get what im saying.

[LukeXgamer]

No car looks exactly the same. Or "Like". Seriously, if you think this looks like a Volvo, you have serious eye for detail problems.

Take side view for example. You can't get much better than that. It looks more like a coupe than a 4 Door.

And, when seen in person (Which you probably haven't)

It's easy to distinguish that this is an XF. It's just got that stance, the colour options are much better than on most of cars.

They're also built in an extremely high tech factory.

[blagahaga]

I will admit that i haven't seen it in person, but i don't have an "eye for detail problem" I just think Jag have lost any styling ingenuity they had and made a fast, but bland car in comparison with a lot of other cars on the market today. I would much rather have a new audi than this jag, the styling is much more unique,and more affordable to most people, with performance that can be comparable.

[MadDogMeh]

Is Jaguar owned by India's TATA?

[quadassio]

sure u did

[eltorch]

i believe everyone asked that from them

[splashie777]

personally i think diesels are bette rthan petrols. simply beacasue A they give beter milage. B cheaper too run, c Have much more tourqe. d can be made just as fast as petrol with the use of turbo's and E because new technology means they can be made just as quiet plus diesel engines last twice as long as petrol.!

[LukeXgamer]

This car is newer than the CTS-V. and if they did a Nurburg race it'd be with the 600HP version.. I can tell you the XF-R underneath is a lot more advanced than the CTS-V.

[coolpooper]

grill is kinda like a bentley

[LukeXgamer]

Grill is a grill, end of.

[LukeXgamer]

Here come the haters, first of all. This car has the best handling in it's class. Secondly, I don't even know for a fact a Ford Taurus looks like a Mercedes E-Class, which is an ugly car, and then got uglier. Secondly. We're not dumb like you Americans, we don't stick 500HP in a car and not change the suspension like you did in your shitstang. And Mugenman if this is slow.. why did it outpace the top speed of an Enzo, Zonda, XJ220 AND almost a Mclaren F1 GTR. With only a small tune from 510.

[tom666araya]

510 hp in a bloated taurus? I`ll take one! haha

[LukeXgamer]

No we're not associated with your shit cars, thanks.

[GearHead318]

must be the 3rd time i've heard "bulldog" when referring to that car

[mugenman6]

Still a bloated ford taurus is all i can say.

[WellImHereNow]

not really the xf uses a modified Ford DEW platform which was used in a lincoln the platform was not used in a taurus and thats the only main link with ford in the car. maybe might want to do your home work

[mugenman6]

lol, i was just sayin what it looked like... still slow, plus its a boat in corners i bet. The fact that it has an old ford platform means its goin to feel fuzzy and numb.

[WellImHereNow]

well like most usa cars then :P as they wollow in corners and have steering that does not feel attached to the car and ive driven one and its alot better then the chrylers and cadillacs ive test driven.

[WellImHereNow]

the XF 4.2 supercharged one that is ive test driven.

[sw1000xg]

Nothing to do with FORD its british engineers the idea was in motion under ford but it's not ford also there is a vid here thats shows you an XFR going round a corner damn its fast for a saloon...

[itzbriantea]

jag ew ar ever

lol i love how he pronounces it.

[paulstewartcrane]

Too True. Things are not AS clear cut when my Dad crossed the Channel back in '44 on the 2 day to Normandy. And even back then things were not really clear to him. I wish you the best, take care. Paul

[paulstewartcrane]

Lets hope.Tomorrow very bad day to try something,it's going to be the heaviest day for Security in well over 10 years. Determination is all that it takes. Nutjob did Lincoln, Reagon too. You don'nt need to be Black.

[paulstewartcrane]

Hey' at least I like Dr. Who USA makes MANY mistakes I never said we didn't. I voted for Obama does that count for anything ?

[1tristan1henderson]

XJ220 is still the best Jaguar IMO.

[earick92]

Nice Jag

[ChaosFinale]

That guy has a really interesting accent when he says Jaguar.

[coolerdude44]

ever heard of the uk?

[ChaosFinale]

LOL. Yes of course I do.

[zizoubilly]

Sick car!

[lamborghini4lyf]

no the xf-r does 225mph

[oOoironhideoOo]

is not the XJ220 The fastest Jaguar ?

[jonhestananet]

at first sight the slight modification was aerodynamics

[2025DPlaza]

BTW...love the car.

[2025DPlaza]

Isn't is IRONIC...Britain practically owned India, now, India's Tata owns the most recognized "British" auto marque, as well as now owning Tetley brand tea. Tetley Tea is the 2nd largest producer of tea in the world and was formerly British-owned (the 1st is Lipton, which is also British but I don't know who owns it).

[LukeXgamer]

India makes tea.

[paulstewartcrane]

and owns Jaguar. And the Chinese own MG. Sorry, it's a Fact.

[LukeXgamer]

Doesn't matter, this car is quick as hell and it's British. Nobody owns MG..

[anthonyrocksworldz]

Completly something new from Jag.I think its great looking,very sport yet still holds that luxury car style and look.Nice car.

[paulstewartcrane]

Indian Bulldog.... correction.

[LukeXgamer]

No, Mr Hater, it's a British brand. Therefore a British bulldog.

[paulstewartcrane]

You want to call it a British Marque but all the strings all controlled from India, i.e. TaTa. And actually Jag is a cat. And I happen to like most Jaguar products. Mr Ignorant.

[LukeXgamer]

If you like the products why are you hating them.. it DOESN'T matter who it's owned by. They do nout in the: Engineering, design, planning departments. Understand.. the cars are built in Birmingham UK..

[paulstewartcrane]

Luke lets get something straight I'm NOT a hater.What ever your definition is of that. Yes, it's the fastest Jag ever.Are you aware that the owner of Jag will begin to make future Jags in Eastern Europe by a company called Magna.Which it's HQ is based in Canada.Your Jags now have numeous parts from former Ford desiigned/planned in North America.Birmingham will still operate but less will be coming from there.Sorry !

[LukeXgamer]

Ford didn't modify the suspension, for the diff or modify the engine for this car, they didn't design it. Build it. Or do anything else to it. This new model was designed in Britain, you people need to forget the past.

[paulstewartcrane]

What exactly do you mean by "you people" ?

[LukeXgamer]

Everyone on the other videos of the standard XF.

[StreeTRacR008]

This isn't the fastest Jag ever.

[WellImHereNow]

well other then the modified Ford DEW platform theres not really any ford in this car everything else was enginereed and designed in the uk sorry and plus now tata giving them the budget they need now we will be seeing more parts designed for jag.

[paulstewartcrane]

Here, here I truly love thet Cat ! Honest.

[BBdirtbiking]

Did they achieve 225.6 mph with a completely stock car, besides maybe a super chip? Or did they do some extra tweaking to the car before they took it to Bonneville Salt Flats?

[BBdirtbiking]

Never mind, i guess i should have read description first, it says a slightly modified prototype achieved the 225.6 mph.

[insanejim69]

Car was lowered, a rear wing and an uprated ECU, and apart from removing the mirrors thats pretty much all they done. Power was only upped to around 600BHP.

[LEEBLANTYRE]

no they put a smaller supercharger pully on ,removed the cat,s in the exhaust,re mapped the ecu,and put a better induction system on the car,i know this as paramount are doing my xfr at the moment,and it will give a true 600 bhp

[josehernandez16]

thats a sexy ass bitch!

[aimcoclutch]

i like english accent

[Elzzija09]

Thats a sexy beast!!!!!!!!!!!

[farabirrahman1]

exactly jaguar achieved 225 mph on the salt flats of Bonneville with the standard engine of the new xfr, they just reprogrammed the ECC (electronic car components) to achieve the engine's maximum output of 600 hp, remember, the xf supercharged and xfr has the same basic engine but different superchargers and different ratio tweaks. faster than an M5? It sure is.

[fokkerdude]

Yes, it may be faster than the M5...but is it as reliable? Remember that we're talking about a British car here.

[TangoR34]

only time will tell

[robsnolongernmuskoka]

Yes like the Bristol....

[LukeXgamer]

Yes, of course it's more reliable.

[Powersproductions130]

Ha! I'll believe it when I see it!

[BachaSaqqaw]

Where they going for ugly or did it just happen?

[87TAGTABANDIT]

wow sweet!

[metainfinity]

225 MPH?

wat

[M3PanoS]

yea, what?

[ironchopsticks]

the section of bonneville flats they tested on was probably downhill.

[GearHead318]

jag gave there Bonneville car an aro kit and "tweaked" the engine by modifying the ecu and giving it more boost from the s'charger

[joness105639]

Woah, a jag sedan that's faster than a jag xj220! What''s next? An XK250 supercar?

[GearHead318]

super sedan maybe?
