Detroit 2009 - Jaguar extends the critical darling XF line with the supercharged XFR, spitting out 510 horses and 461 lb-ft. of torque in a focused performance package that should compete well with the sport sedans of Germany.

The 2010 XFR has all the goods to compete in the high-end luxury performance sedan market with the likes of the Audi RS6, BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG. XFR power, and there's plenty of it, comes from a supercharged 5.0 liter V8 outputting 510 bhp, even more power than the M5's V10.

From the outside the XFR beefs up the design language found on the XF and new XF Portfolio models with lots of fancy go-fast bits, though the total result is a mixed bag. We love the giant, snarling front intakes and the beautiful 20 inch chromed alloys hiding "R" brake calipers, and the quad-outlet exhaust pushed to the extreme corners of the rear splitter.
