Spy Shots: Jaguar XF-R
by Jonathon Ramsey on Dec 1st 2008 at 2:01PM 
The Jaguar XF-R is almost complete, and the house of the saltant feline looks to retain its suite of exceptionally modest modifications for the hottest version of its hottest seller. Outside, the car gets hood vents and larger intakes for better breathing, and a sliver of a trunk spoiler hovering over quad tailpipes out back. Larger wheels wearing lower profile rubber hanging off of a seriously firm suspension will be on the menu, all the better to harness the signature trait of an R car: the 500-horsepower supercharged V8 up front. We'll see it some time next year, our bet is at the Geneva Motor Show in March.[Source: Global Motors]

Would have loved to have seen some headlight mods, but I know that such a change could have gotten expensive.
I think the thing looks fantastic and cant wait to see it on the streets.

Beautiful, but is this a sedan or 4 door coupe?

At least Jaguar doesn't label sleek sedans as coupes.
But I know where MB is comming from with the CLS. They don't want to say CLS: the sexy sleek sedan! That would mean they admit that the E looks like a taxi...

that's because the E is a taxi...

I got to spend some time in the XF and it is a sedan. there's a lot of space and a middle seat in the rear, unlike the CLS.

Wow, the back-end of the car get's a lift with the 4 exhausts. So cool. But I'd love to see some LED-lights (Like Audi S6) on the front to take a bit focus off the design-destroying headlights.

Paint it black, and I see a great car for Transporter 4.

Quick, someone call Jaguar and tell them to stop using those leftover Ford sourced headlights, before it's too late.

nah. if anything they should've sourced better/other Ford ones to begin with vs. making these ugly as sin XF-specific ones.
for instance... the headlights on the current Falcon XRs would've looked a lot better than what they used.
even flipped upside-down to get the scallop on top (like the production XF lights) they'd probably *still* look better than what they used.
i) it would have looked better
ii) no one would notice outside of Australia anyway
