JAGUAR REVEALS NEW XKR AND XFR AT DETROIT AUTO SHOW 2009

Jaguar has revealed the new XKR and XFR at the Detroit Auto Show 2009 – two cars that are true to the heritage of Jaguar's legendary performance, delivering a superb balance of high performance, dynamic ability and refinement.
Mike O'Driscoll, Managing Director of Jaguar Cars said: 'We've started 2009 with the introduction of advanced new generation petrol and diesel engines that set new benchmarks in terms of performance, economy and efficiency, including a new diesel for the XF that offers a marked improvement in CO2 and fuel economy. Our cars meet the challenges of the modern world and the needs of today's consumers – and they're also true to the Jaguar philosophy of creating beautiful fast cars.'





The XF has already secured 'Car of the Year' awards from two major ÚK automotive magazines and more than 30 other commendations worldwide, so the new XFR, a new high performance diesel and a host of changes for the 2010 Model Year, including the launch of the new luxurious 'Portfolio' model, will make the XF an even more attractive proposition.

Featuring all-new AJ-V8 Gen III petrol engines and new AJ-V6D Gen III diesel engines, the XF now delivers more power and more performance with comparable or better fuel economy and emissions than the engines they supersede.



Distinguished by unique exterior and interior design features, the XFR includes revised bumpers and lower front air intakes, sill extensions, bonnet louvres and grilles, four tailpipes, a boot-lid spoiler, unique seats and 20-inch alloy wheels.

The new XF 3.0-litre AJ-V6D Gen III diesel features a twin sequential turbocharged engine available as the 275PS/600Nm S or a 240PS/500Nm version. Both offer exceptional efficiency and refinement and in the case of the Diesel S accelerates from 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds.

With 275PS, the new XF 3.0-litre diesel S is 33 percent more powerful than the acclaimed 2.7-litre TDV6 it replaces. Torque peaks at a substantial 600Nm, with 61 percent more torque available from 1500rpm.

Every new engine for the XF range has highly competitive fuel economy and CO2 emissions figures. Both diesel versions deliver combined average fuel consumption of 42.0mpg – an improvement on the acclaimed 2.7-litre engine of nearly 12 percent – and a CO2 of 179g/km.

In the ÚK, pricing of the new XF range starts at £32,900 for the 3.0-litre petrol. The 3.0-litre diesel model is available from £33,900 while the new 3.0-litre Diesel S starts at £36,900. The XFR is priced at £59,900.* These models are available from late March.

2010 Jaguar XKR comes to Frankfurt

Jaguar's 2010 XKR sports coupe was part of the British manufacturer's showstand at the Frankfurt IAA International Motor Show, which opened to the media on September 15, 2009. As part of the new Jaguar ‘showroom, the 510PS supercharged V8 sports car shared the stage with the award-winning XFR saloon and stunning new flagship, the XJ Supersport.

'Built in the tradition of great grand tourers, with state-of-the-art engineering, aerospace-inspired construction and outstanding driving dynamics, the 2010 XKR is the latest in a long line of legendary performance Jaguars.'
Mike O'Driscoll, Managing Director, Jaguar Cars



The combined efforts of Jaguar's designers and engineers have produced a sports car that utilises advanced technologies at a higher level than ever before. The benefits of the XK's lightweight but stiff and strong chassis are already acknowledged. Not only does this architecture bring dynamic benefits thanks to its torsional rigidity, it also offers excellent safety and crash repair features and provides the ideal base to improve performance across the board – including optimised fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

The AJ-V8 Gen III engines are the most advanced and efficient Jaguar has ever produced. They deliver significantly more power and torque than the previous generation of engines: 510PS and 625Nm in the new supercharged XKR and 385PS and 515Nm in the XK models.



And yet thanks to a combination of excellent powertrain efficiency and the XK's advanced lightweight body architecture, all XKs offer strong fuel economy and impressive CO2 emissions ratings. Fuel economy is comparable to the previous generation of XK – despite the significant increases in power and performance – and CO2 emissions from each engine are better than previous 4.2-litre versions.
'With a supercharged AJ-V8 engine and dramatic new looks, the XKR has all the performance, power and panache that you expect in the ultimate sporting Jaguar.'
Mike O'Driscoll, Managing Director, Jaguar Cars

Allowing the engines to optimise their power is one of the most sophisticated transmissions available. Jaguar's acclaimed electronically controlled, six-speed ZF 6HP28 transmission offers an unparalleled combination of driver control matched to virtually undetectable gearshifts. With control either from steering wheel-mounted paddles or full automatic mode via the JaguarDrive Selector™, the transmission is now paired with an advanced electronic differential on the XKR model. This ensures the supercharged car accelerates even faster, handles even more precisely and sets new standards of dynamic control.

There are three core models in the XK range: the XK, the highly equipped XK Portfolio and the supercharged XKR, each with its own sporting character. In addition to the many changes under the skin, the latest XKs are visually different to the previous generation. Each still looks just like a Jaguar should look – seductive, powerful and elegant – but all 2010 models, coupe and convertible, benefit from revised exterior styling that underlines Jaguar's contemporary thinking on design.

Inside, quality levels are raised even further with new interior trim and finishes that demonstrate Jaguar's craftsmanship, plus even more comprehensive specification. The driver is the centre of attention, with exciting technologies, including the acclaimed JaguarDrive Selector™, Adaptive Dynamics (the latest in computer-controlled suspension) with Active Differential Control and comfort features such as heated and cooled seats – taking the driving experience of the 2010 XK range to even higher levels of luxury alongside the improved performance.

'The 2010 XK range delivers more power, more performance and more technology – without compromise. It moves the Jaguar sports car experience on to a whole new level.' Mick Mohan, Director, Jaguar Programmes
