Tata Motors owned Jaguar Land Rover will be unveiling the XFR-S Sportbrake at the Geneva Motor Show. It is the first high-performance sports estate car to be produced by Jaguar. The car builds on the already acclaimed XFR-S saloon – boasting the same power figures and levels of agility – with increased versatility and practicality. Its 5.0-litre supercharged V8 delivers 542bhp of power and 680Nm of torque with the added benefit of 1675 litres of rear load space when the rear seats are folded flat. The XFR-S Sportbrake will sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 300km/h.
An eight-speed transmission with ‘Quickshift’ functionality enables optimal acceleration throughout the speed and rev ranges. The XFR-S Saloon’s chassis has been specifically retuned for the XFR-S Sportbrake. The 20-inch ‘Varuna’ forged alloy wheels – the same as those fitted to the XFR-S Saloon – are shod with bespoke tyres to maximise grip. Exclusive interior materials include carbon leather and contrasting highlight micro-piping and stitching. The XFR-S Sportbrake incorporates engineering features from both the XKR-S and the all-new F-TYPE two-seater sports car to create the most driver-focused, agile and responsive iteration of Jaguar’s award-winning XF model range. The XFR-S Sportbrake is fitted as standard with a 825W, 18-speaker system from British audio experts Meridian.
