Jaguar XFR test drive since 2009 sedan
Mr. X, sar
Jaguar brought out a new family of V-shaped eights. Among them is a five -liter unit with an advanced compressor. He gives out 510 hp, and this is enough to answer for the letter R on the child Jaguar.A couple of years ago, the jaguar jumped. He understood then that he was hungry. And I also realized that I was lazy and that I was decommunicated. That if right now he does not ventilate the skin, which was knocked down in a felt, does not open his paws and does not crunched with acidified joints, then he will forever remain an old man. Rheumatic monument to strength and beauty. But he got up to survive a new rise. He yawned XK-m, heated the XKR, and then, pushed away from them and jumped 10 years in advance, stretching out with his whole body. Its XF, as the former heroes of gold times, hit the target exactly. So, as Jaguar succeeded when Audrey Hepburn drove on an e-type according to Paris to the Ritz hotel and the shot Peter O'Tole.
XF came out not only noticeable, but also a landmark: for the first time in modern world car history, someone was able to compete on equal terms with a large German three in their own aviary. Do not yield to them either with technology, a breed, or chic. And this jump on the scruff of the regulars did not come from the Japanese who always threaten to do this, but never amaze the goal, landing in the trail of the previous step of the victim. This was done by the one who was finally written off from the account with the departure of Margaret Thatcher from the stage.
Jaguar XF landed in the center of the world arena with an original high design and the best in the chassis class. A completely new car, strongly with all the power of a kind. The best suspension, the best transmission, good engines ... Very little time has passed, and today it is time to give out something better than just good.
We meet a new XFR with a five -liter compressor engine with a capacity of 510 hp. His thrust is endless and dense, like a tidal wave. The former V8 4.2 was very good. And the new motor is magnificent. He picks up a large car with a truly Yaguar ease: with the sensation that is even in the three -liter XF, which was in the former atmospheric eight. This ease remains: the car is easily removed and gently dissolves in space. Without stress. It doesn’t matter what was on the speedometer: 50 km/h or 150, pressing the gas accelerates the car with unchanged pressure and pace. Acceleration does not weaken and does not end, it seems, never. Both sound and thrust are magnificent and directly associated only with the forces and voices of cars from AMG. The only difference is that the Germans are a little more like a precision mechanism, and Jaguar of a large graceful beast. Truly, it is like big cats.
The 2010 Model Modern line is updated cars of the entire series of XF and XK. The 4.2-liter V8 lost their place with a new five-liter: also in the atmospheric (385 hp) and the boost (510 hp) options. Three -liter V6 (238 hp) is also available)
The new engine with direct injection is capable of developing a power of 510 hp. and torque 625 Nm. Acceleration 0100 km/h 4.9 s
His chassis, which was already on the front edge, again moves the front. It filters road irregularities and joints of the coating and does not succumb even to the slight indignations of the asphalt of European auto tracks, as if Jaguar flies above the air on the air pillow. And he clings to the road, taking a maneuver with lightning speed, almost without roll, as if XFR cuts asphalt with skates with blades. So in the world there can be units: only the Mercedes pendants are in the condition of the Jaguar on equal terms with engineers and adjusters of Jaguar.
Among cars with higher dynamic and speed capabilities, there are those who demonstrate the magnitude of their sports feat and the height achieved by every movement, exposing the tension of the muscles for show. And Jaguar hides sweat and blood, preferring to show you only the smile of a Cheshire cat, he succeeds in playing everything.
