Jaguar ends teasing of 2014 XFR-S with official unveiling

Jaguar has officially revealed the 2014 XFR-S after putting up a series of teaser to hype up the model. The 2014 model will be showcased at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The United States, home of the Los Angeles Auto Show, will reportedly get 100 units for the 2014 model year, instead of the 200 units suggested in earlier reports.

The 2014 XFR-S has the same V8 5.0-litre supercharged engine as the XKR-S, outputting 542bhp and 680Nm of torque. Connected to a ZF eight-speed transmission with Quickshift, the 2014 XFR-S can do the 0-100km/h sprint in under 4.6 seconds and reach an electronically limited top speed of 300km/h.

The Electronic Active Differential and Dynamic Stability Control system has also been re-calibrated to provide better handling , and they also installed wider 20-inch Varuna forged alloys with wider tyres to improve grip.

As seen in one of earlier teasers, the model has an immense rear wing that generates downforce at the rear which is on the options list, but there's a more discreet offering, too. The sedan swaps out some sheet metal and air dams for carbon fibre pieces with massive air intakes and splitters that cut aerodynamic lift by 68% according to Jaguar. Inside, the XFR-S has contrast-piped seats and its own leather and aluminum trim and a standard 825-watt Meridian sound system
