The XFR-S is expected to compete head-to-head with the BMW M5 and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, the XFR-S sports a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 550 hp, borrowed from the XKR-S. The Jaguar’s powerplant will be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that’s also found in the rest of the XF range.
