Is this even prettier than A Quattroporte?...
Jaguar: PH has a request for you. Can we have a factory version of this racer, please? This rather tasty touring car has been developed by Italian racing outfit Ferlito Motors for the International Superstars tin-top series.
For those who don't know (which until we saw these pics included us) the Superstars series is an Italian/European take on the Aussie Supercars concept, where simplish rear-drive V8 cars battle it out. Other entrants in the series include A Maserati Quattroporte, a Chrysler 300C and a gaggle of 5-series BMWs.
The Ferlito Motors XF made its debut at the International Superstars season finale at Kyalami (neither in Italy nor Europe, but there you go...) at the end of November. Okay, so it ended the race 12th of 12 finishers, but it did at least survive to the chequered flag and we reckon it even outshines the Quattroporte racer in the beauty stakes.
