Overview

Before 'that' rebrand, Jaguar's iconic motto for decades was "grace, space, pace" and we can think of few cars from its oeuvre more fitting for such a scintillating sobriquet as the XFR-S.

The XF, of which the R-S is a derivative, was unveiled in 2007 as Jaguar's modern take on the executive luxury sports saloon and was offered in numerous levels of trim and with various engines, but it wasn't until the XFR arrived in 2009 that things got particularly spicy.

Here was a high-performance version of said saloon equipped with a 5.0-litre supercharged AJ-V8 Gen III engine rated at just over 500bhp, harking back to the powerful and agile Jags of years gone by. It was, by all intents and purposes, a spectacular car but Jaguar wasn't content to sit just on its laurels. Instead, it further developed the car, culminating in the XFR-S in 2012.

In a bid to produce the fastest, most powerful and agile Jaguar sports saloon, the XFR-S was further tuned to provide 550bhp, giving it a 0-60mph time of just 4.4 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 186mph. Suspension was also revised and featured stiffer springs as well as some trick corner recognition and intelligent torque management for the eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox.

The result is an incredibly fast super saloon with bags of grip and a soundtrack to die for. Yes it was possible to replace the car's rear wing with a smaller lip spoiler but would you really want to? This particular 2014 car is a great, usable example that comes complete with full main dealer service history.

Well-maintained throughout its life and cherished by its current owner it presents well throughout and has the added bonus of a sports exhaust to really let that supercharged V8 sing!
