Jaguar XFR-S

The 2013 to 2015 era placed the Jaguar XFR-S in a particular corner of the performance saloon market, and its position in a 600-car catalogue shows exactly what that moment prioritised. It sits in the top 48% for power, with 542 bhp, yet its real distinction is not simply the output figure. This is one of only 30 cars in the catalogue that combine a supercharged V8, a configuration that gives the XFR-S a clear identity among the many ways a performance car can deliver speed.

The numbers place it as a car built around character as much as outright pace. Its 5.0-litre V8 sends 680 Nm through the rear wheels, pairing a classic drivetrain layout with supercharged performance. The result is a 0-100 km/h time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 300 km/h. In the wider 600-car collection, that acceleration figure sits at 442nd, while its top speed ranks 274th, showing that the XFR-S is not defined by chasing the absolute extremes of every metric. Instead, it occupies a specific balance of engine layout, power delivery and saloon practicality.

That balance matters because the XFR-S is a four or five seater saloon from the United Kingdom, a country represented by 160 cars in the catalogue. Jaguar itself contributes 15 cars to the collection, making this model part of a distinct family presence rather than an isolated entry. The V8 layout appears in 216 cars across the catalogue, but only 132 combine V8 power with rear-wheel drive, and the supercharged V8 pairing narrows the field further. Those comparisons explain where the XFR-S finds its individuality.

At a used price of £32,000, it ranks 514th for cost among the 600 cars, placing it above 86 cars in price while delivering 542 bhp at a cost of £59 per bhp. A garage containing the XFR-S gains a rear-wheel-drive supercharged V8 saloon with a very specific 2013 to 2015 character. Without it, the collection misses one of the few cars that combines this engine format with four-door usability. With it, the garage gains a machine that represents a moment when performance saloons still made room for a large-displacement V8, supercharging and rear-wheel drive in one package.
