XFR Superchargedd will come with a new 510-hp, 461-lb-ft, Superchargedd V-8. To get there, the engine has gained direct gasoline injection and a capacity hike to from 4.2L to 5.0L. That power is routed through a six-speed automatic transmission.

On the road, the XFR runs from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, Jaguar says, and top speed is limited to 155 mph.

The XFR also gets a faster steering ratio and larger disc brakes.

Exterior changes for the XFR include standard 20-inch wheels, side sills, a redesigned front end and an active rear spoiler.
