The diesel can be made to look pretty lairy. Ok, not got the top end performance of the XFR, but by no means a slouch by any meaningful measurement. 600NM of torque vs XFR at 625NM....
Autocar were pretty disappointed with the performance of the S diesel sportback, they tested it at 7.1 seconds to 60, not much better than the latest 320d, you need torque + revs, torque on its own isn't much use unless your ploughing a field.It is a good looking car though.

Jaguar \ Land Rover are creating insanely desirable cars at the moment. Even the Mrs would go for a XF!
They have really nailed it with a very modern, classy and understated look. XF makes the 5 series and E class look quite boring. (IMHO)
Much want!
Fascinating that I haven't seen a single xf estate on the roads - where are they all?Jaguar \ Land Rover are creating insanely desirable cars at the moment. Even the Mrs would go for a XF!

Seen loads on my travels. There are at least 3 in the area where I live!I had one yesterday as a courtesy car while mine was in having the windows tinted. 3.0d S, lovely engine, such a difference to my 2.2d Sport.

Lol what do you drive if you think the XF-R has a quiet exhaust?
If its anything like my S Type R then it certainly is a quiet exhaust.Almost sinful to be burning so much fuel and not be able to hear it burn
The XFR has an active exhaust whereas my S Type doesnt. But i believe that only kicks in when you give the car a boot full.

According to our friends at the DVLA VX12DLZ is a 3000cc black oil, therefore maybe this is a super lairy diesel, a remapped XF S, the 4 pipe exhausts put on to put us off the scent. The front may also be a redesign purely for the diesel air intake requirements, as already mentioned the XFR and XFR-S front we all know so no disguise required.

Or that's how it was when it came off the line and it's since had an engine swap?LewisR said:
