Saw in the showroom while getting the RRS serviced. $105k on the sticker. Looks good but the damn thing is too quiet. Someone in the market for the craziest 550-hp Jaguar sedan wants more than a whisper at full throttle. Otherwise they'd buy a XFR or regular XF.

I love the irony that a former British colony has stewarded over two iconic British companies as they begin producing some of the most ridiculously awesome cars they have ever made.

You just reminded me that I saw my first XFR in the wild yesterday. Haven't seen an XFR-S yet, because rarity.

I saw a blue one of these at a dealer in Sarasota while I was on vacation. I haven't seen any on the road here though

I like that car. I don't think this is anything a few well-placed holes in the muffler/cat wouldn't fix.

If it's anything like my RR Sport (same basic engine) there are three silencers before the muffler and cutting out the big one in the middle fixes a good deal if the muffle without droning.

Personally, I like loud, fast cars. With that said, I also appreciate a nice, fast luxury car that doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME BECAUSE I HAVE A HUGE ASS ENGINE AND WILL MAKE YOUR EARS BLEED". It is completely reasonable that some people want this car to be as loud as it is fast.

I just wouldn't do it if I owned one.
