What that be?? Probably better to go for the HSV version - 425bhp and again easy to get up near 6-700bhp.

I'd take an E63 AMG S Estate over this every day of the week and save myself £7K too.
It's not a looker like the Jag though is it. In fact that is f-f-fugly!!!!Edited by Agent Orange on Thursday 29th May 20:14
I would look better if they had pressed some new flared panels rather than sticking bits of plastic on it whilst nipping down to Motorworld for a set of wheels.

There was one for sale near me - 818bhp, RWD, Manual and apparently was near 10sec 1/4 mile.
The Saloon version is 1/3rd of the price of the XFR S out here in Oz.

Not bad, imagine a Monaro esque experience I understand but I figure you don't buy an 1800kg, RWD estate for the handling.
Well it'll be no Elise, that's for sure.
I've never driven one of those but have noted that the reviews for both XFR-S saloon and estate mention a penchant for oversteer. True as that may be beyond the limits I can say that the saloon at least generates a lot of grip and the handling is very precise and predictable. You can drive it quickly with confidence. It's not an Elise, but it is clear where the extra money over the standard XFR went. It really is rather good to drive, and there's more to it than just power.
