Jaguar F-type V8 S (2013) CAR review

Jaguar F-type V8 S (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Mark Walton, 17 April 2013 09:30

This is the Jaguar F-type, in top-spec V8 S guise. Its supercharged V8 engine sends 488bhp to the rear wheels, giving the £75k F-type the performance of a £100k XKR-S. But can the F-type live up to the best sports cars In the class - and its legendary E-type ancestor? Read on for the CAR verdict. Give me some more ...

Jaguar XF 2.2 D (2011) CAR review

Jaguar XF 2.2 D (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 28 June 2011 13:14

This new, facelifted XF 2.2 D is a very important car for Jaguar. If the Coventry company’s predictions are correct, it’ll nearly double XF sales, from 12k units in 2010 to 20k in 2012 (deliveries don’t start until September 2011). Fleet sales will be boosted as it dips below the crucial 160g/km tax threshold, and 43% of XFs to leave ...

Jaguar XKR-S (2011) CAR review

Jaguar XKR-S (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 01 June 2011 00:01

The new XKR-S is Jag’s hottest XK yet, a 542bhp beast based on last year’s 75 anniversary special but with even more power. And this time it's got mouth as well as trousers. The front end of the XKR-S features a pair of gaping nostrils delivering air to the supercharged V8, and a black mouth that gives it a very ...

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR review

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 21 July 2010 09:45

The Jaguar XK120 was so-called because it did 120mph, the XJ220 because it did 220mph. And this is the XKR 75... So it must do 75mph! Some kind of economy special is it? We’ll have you know that this is the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220. Instead of the usual 155mph limiter, this one can run on to 174mph before ...

Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6D (2010) CAR review

Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6D (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Gavin Green, 26 February 2010 00:01

brightcove.createExperiences(); We have to look back to the early Bangle BMWs, or to Tom Ford’s extravagant efforts at Gucci, to see a similar shake-up of a company’s design DNA. Out goes the carriage-clock Jag; in comes the brave XF of 2008 and, even more, this bold new XJ, Maserati Quattroporte emotion meets Bentley grandeur, rakish coupe lines meets four-door luxury ...

Jaguar XFR (2009) CAR review

Jaguar XFR (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 16 February 2009 10:56

Just as the storm clouds of recession gather, now is hardly the best time to launch an all-guns-blazing, unleaded-glugging super saloon with enough firepower to sink a 1990s Ferrari. But product lifecycles and automotive industrial sequences being what they are, Jag had no choice with its new XFR. It was hardly going to wait until clearer weather to launch its ...

Jaguar XKR-S (2008) CAR review

Jaguar XKR-S (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 23 May 2008 10:32

Here’s the car Jaguar fans have been waiting for: the XKR-S, the fastest, hardest-looking XK so far. Available only in Ultimate Black as a limited run of 200 in right- or left-hand drive for European-only markets, the XKR-S is yours for a fiver short of £80k. Read on for CAR Online’s first review. How much extra power has the Jaguar ...

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2006) CAR review

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 07 September 2006 08:50

Another old engine in a new shell; why should I get excited? True, both the new XK and now the new XKR use drivetrains largely carried over from the last-generation XK. But there wasn't much wrong with the old engines, and a whole lot right with the new chassis. The extra power of the supercharged XKR - 420bhp versus 300bhp ...
