Looks great from the back, as does the new XK. It's gonna be all down to what the headlights look like. I'll hold my breath..............

Anyone make out what it says on the right of the number plate re: the model. Is it 'SV8'?

Love the Jaguar 'Leaper' on the bootlid.

News regarding interior are very positive as weel.
4 Air vent appearing when entering the car, blue lights, high quality material everywhere.
Quite a few people already saw (not only press) and so far nobody was disappointed. Everybody telling it is going to be the new stat of art!!Official pictures to come by august 28

The supercharged 4.2 V8 will not be the R version since the R version will get the 5 liters supercharged.
Super V8 should be the V8 SC

So from this can we determine, from 2009, the XFR, XKR and XJR will all be 500BHP 5.0ltr and the 'regular' normally aspirated 4.2 V8 engine will be the entry level with the 4.2 S/C dropped altogether?

Anyone got a pic of the front and interior!

Roll on 28th Aug. Received a letter from Jaguar this week saying info will be shortly coming.

As far as I know the 4.2 SC should be available anyway but I think it will also depend on sales etc
Regarding the XJR you mean the new one not the old one right?

It is still not entirely clear to me what will be the entry level engine.
3.0 v6 or 3.2 6 in line

They are going to have to drop one engine. Maybe as the XF will have the 4.2S/C at launch that the 4.2 will be dropped altogether?

Or maybe they will launch with 4.2 and 4.2SC and then will drop one of the two when the 5 liter will come?

If the Bowers & Wilkins sound system on the XKR Portfolio is anything to go by, the one in the XF should be something else. I'd be tempted to spend more time in the car than the lounge with the CD collection biggrin

Are you sure not the 4.2 300hp?

I am not sure it will at launch but later also the 3.6 V8 td will be available (yeah the one they were not able to fit under the XJ bonnet frown )
