PROJECT CARS: Meet Our New Cool Cat Project XFR "Jaaaaag!"

"My foot slipped" says Road Magazine pal, Andy Robinson – as he gets to grips with his new car and our new Project car, a super cool cat, 503bhp supercharged V8 Jaguar XFR.
Good old Andy has already taken the fast feline up the drag strip too, just days after picking it up (top man!) and you can read the first of many instalments on the new Project XFR – which will feature a fair number of tuning enhancements – on our Project Car section of the Road website here.
And see a whole bank of images on our Facebook page too.
Do let Andy and Team Road know what you think as the project progresses... and keep your eyes peeled for more rapid project cars coming later this Summer...

NEWS: Jaguar R Range Expansion With 550PS XJR

Jaguar's iconic letters – XJR – are back! Yes, Jaguar’s peak performing cat range, those beasts in their cultish R range, has been expanded to include the XJR. The new XJR will be making its global debut at the 2013 New York Show, alongside the F-TYPE and all-wheel drive XF and XJ sedans. The 5.0-litre, supercharged, 550PS, 502lb ft XJR will become "the dynamic flagship sedan of the Jaguar line-up."
Jaguar PR says about the XJR: "With a bespoke chassis and aerodynamic developments, the XJR is the most focused, agile and responsive Jaguar XJ ever made. It delivers supercar performance and assertive looks with the highest levels of luxury." 
And according to Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar: "The new XJR epitomises the three pillars of technology, performance and contemporary design which the Jaguar brand stands for in the twenty-first century, while delivering new levels of dynamic ability in a luxury saloon."
We love a hot Jaguar, don't you? And that 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine is a beauty. Bring it on!
