Nice, always had a bit of a soft spot for Jaguars.
Not sold on the blue colour, bit bright for a Jaguar, I'd get it in Stratus Grey or Cashmere,

[Polyal]

The new Jag range is fricken brilliant, everything about them seems right and beautiful. Id get a Jag over an equivalent Merc/BMW anyday.

Theres a nice XF in what looks like British racing Green but darker near me and its unreal.

its supposed to have the same SC engine as our GT, so why cant we get the same KW

I believe its intercooled as well as having direct injection.

[SteveJH]

I thought the Jaguar's had a development of the old Jaguar/Aston Martin 4.2 Litre V8 with capacity increased to 5.0 Litres and direct injection Added.

~285kw non-supercharged.

The Coyote/Miami is a completely new engine.

Does anyone know what the engibe origins are?

[Mechan1k]

That's very sexy indeed.
Would like to see one with a white/carbon fibre theme.

Are you saying that it has the same engine as our FPV?
If so, that isn't correct, the engine in the Jag is a derivative of the Jag AJ-V8.
The V8 in the FPV is a different engine totally.

The last Ford to use a Jag V8, the AJ30/AJ35 was the Ford Thunderbird.
The engine was stopped in 2006.

As for the XKR-S without the wing it'll look good.

Videos aren't working for me - but the car looks spectacular.

Would LOVE one of those. Only downside is that there is no Manual, ZF Auto only.

The coyote is also direct injected. And the intercooler is only a mod away....

The miami easily sees ponies beyond the factory FPV figures, theyve just chosen that number to suit its image & price range.

No it isnt. The Architecture is designed in such a way that it could be added, however it does not have direct injection.

Err, Coyote isnt supercharged, Miami on the other hand....

And because the Chassis (specifically the IRS) might not be able to handle more power and still pass Ford Durability standards?

I thought I had read (a few years ago) that the SC mustang engine was the same as in the Jag. Sorry

Thanks for the correction.

Coyote/Miami whatever. It doesnt take a genius to figure out the point I was trying to make.

It could, but just like anything, its always about money.

[Bossxr8]

They are awesome, but rear wing doesn't look too good.

[munners]

Jaguar are bringing out a smaller car, the XS, to compete with BMW 3 series. If it looks as good as the rest of the range it should do really well.
