My colleague here in NZ is looking at buying an XFR.

I pulled the spec-sheet for it from Jaguar and the following information comes up:

Transmission: 8-Speed Automatic AWD

Now, I wasn't aware the XFR was available in 4WD, all the reviews I've seen of them seem to indicate they're RWD. But then again, Wikipedia states that in the UK market, only diesels were available with AWD.

I'm picking the build-sheet is correct, I'd just not heard of them in 4WD before. Can anyone shed any light?

Yeah, going to see the car today and will look to see if there's any front driveshafts on it. We're not worried if it is or isn't really, but it was just a peculiarity I picked up on that I wasn't aware of. Will be interesting if it is, as I imagine an AWD R isn't common at all.

The car is NZ market spec, which may mean AWD was an option, since we tend to have a bit of a love-affair with 4WD cars.

Typo confirmed. Lack of front driveshafts would suggest RWD only.
