but adds about 40hp and 41lb-ft of torque. This power boost cuts the 0-100km/h time to 4.6 seconds, but the top speed is limited to 186mph (300km/h). 

The XFR-S produces 543hp and 502lb-ft from its supercharged, 5.0-liter V8, and the car will only come with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Jaguar says that the upgrade comes from upgrades to the ECU and better induction and exhaust. 

"The XFR-S is a very harmonious product in the way it looks, the way it handles and the way the powertrain responds. The car has instant response to any driver input and as a result feels connected from the outset,” said Tim Clark, engineer for performance at Jaguar.

While the more powerful engine will certainly grab headlines, the XFR-S has plenty of other improvements to make sure that the extra power makes it to the ground. The car has a new body kit to provide extra downforce that includes a deeper front bumper, carbon fiber splitter and larger air intakes. At the rear, there is a carbon fiber diffuser and boot lid spoiler. Plus, the quad exhausts are there to look menacing. The car rides on 20in, forged aluminum wheels with Pirelli tires, and the suspension has been tuned to be 30% stiffer. The stability control and electronic differential offer revised settings to make sure the power can get to the road. 

Inside, there is a mix of carbon fiber, leather and dark-anodized aluminum fascia to show the car's performance. It also gets sport seats with contrasting stitching and piping from the exterior color.
