Looks like Jaguar’s got an eye on the law-enforcement market. The company is previewing an XF decked in cop garp to police departments all over the UK. Powered by a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter diesel mill that produces 275 horsepower and returns decent fuel economy, the car has to be the most stylish cruiser we’ve ever laid [...]
For those that worried Jaguar would lose its British essence when Tata took the helm, never fear. Word ‘round the Web is that the XF retains plenty of the company’s, um, quirkiness. According to Automobile Magazine, their long-term tester has had beaucoup reliability issues – everything from finicky window regulators to bad axles out back. [...]
I. Jaguar is putting its 272 hp diesel V6 in the XK. The engine debuts in Europe this spring in the XF saloon sedan, but a thinly disguised XK was caught testing at Nurburgring with a distinctive diesel rattle. Hooray for torques. [Surce: Autocar]
II. NASCAR rookie Tony Logano will become the youngest ever driver to [...]
Oh boy — more Jag rumors! Above is one of the most ridiculous cars of the 1990s — a vehicle that somehow bears a physical resemblance to cocaine — yet a car that all pistonheads love. Originally dreamt up as an AWD, V12-powered, scissor-doored track weapon with a built in roll cage, the production XJ220 was RWD, [...]
I’ll be the first to admit one of the only reasons to love the Jaguar XF is the burbling 4.2-liter V8, supercharged or not, under the cat’s hood. For a good long while now, Jaguar buyers in Europe could opt for a turbo diesel variant, but the six cylinder didn’t offer much to love in [...]
Speaking of oh-so-sexy Jaguars, parent company Tata has just approved coupe and convertible versions of the delicious XF. Rumors have swirled for a while about the possibility of versions of the sedan with two less doors and one less top, but until now, there wasn’t much substance to them. Word from AutoExpress says that the [...]
V8. Honestly, I don’t know how else to describe this vehicle. Long after the heated and cooled fine-grain Italian leather seats, single-piece burlwood center console and touch screen navigation fade from memory, the sound of the 4.2-liter V8 under this kitty’s hood will still be with me. From the instant I keyed the push-button start, the song [...]
Pop quiz. What packs a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 with 500 horsepower and has its sights set on contenders like the BMW M5 and Audi’s RS6? If you read the headline and said the 2009 Jaguar XF-R, you’re a clever one. The newest lunging feline with some serious teeth was spotted trying to evade the pesky [...]
If you need proof that I’ve always been a Fiend, when I was Bar Mitzvah’d my friend’s parents bought me $100 in Jaguar stock. Aside from a ride in my Father’s friend’s Buick GNX, the shares were my favorite gift. Then one day I got a letter from Ford explaining that they’d just bought Jag. [...]
As we reported a few weeks ago, Jaguar have developed an R version of their XF and it broke cover at the Goodwood Fesival of Speed in the UK this weekend. No really new details other than what we reported earlier. Its likely there’s a supercharged version of a new direct injection V8 spinning up [...]
