Spy Shots: Jaguar XF-R Black tape can be clearly seen surrounding new hood vents and also adorns the more sinister front air dam that we're guessing gulpa a lot more air than the standard XF. The traditionally chromed vertical fender vents now match the jet black body color of the car, as do the new side sills that give it even more curves. New 20-inch wheels with a turbine-style design are fitted and project the appropriate degree of mechanical competence this car will offer, while quad exhaust tips out back complete the transformation. As we mentioned yesterday, speculation says power will be provided by a direct-inject, supercharged V8 producing 500 horsepower. The German super sedans must be at least a little worried, because not only will the XF-R be just as fast as them.

I want that car so badly. I've always been a huge fan of Jaguar (first Euro car my dad ever bought) despite their somewhat tarnished reputation of late...I'm really enjoying their new direction as a company and looking forward to some really awesome cars in the future. I still don't know if it would tempt me away from the new CTS-V though.
