2010 Jaguar XF Supercharged – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThere have been very few cars like the 2010 Jaguar XF<\/a> Supercharged, and that’s a shame. Yet it’s difficult to explain why this car is so special, so let’s just start by describing what it is. You can order Jaguar’s S-Type replacement in four flavors (more if you live in a diesel-friendly part of the world). The first and least expensive comes with Jag’s tried-and-true 4.2-liter V8 for $52,000, although we’re told that the 4.2-liter is now out of production, so get ’em while they’re hot. For $5,000 more, you can get the company’s new direct-injected 5.0-liter V8 with 385 horsepower, which is most assuredly worth every penny.<\/p>\n

Skipping ahead one, the fourth and final flavor is the top cat XFR<\/a>, equipped with a 510-hp supercharged and monsterized version of the 5.0-liter V8 for $80,000. Put another way, that’s $23,000 for an extra 125 horsepower. Worth the stretch? Honestly, when are we not going to tell you to buy a 510-hp vehicle? However, there is a third flavor and it’s called the XF Supercharged. Starting at $68,000, the XF Supercharged comes with the same 5.0-liter supercharged V8 as the XFR, albeit “detuned” down to 470 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n

We know we shouldn’t be shocked, but come on. We are living in seriously miraculous times if 470 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque is the detuned version of anything. That’s quite nearly Nissan GT-R<\/a> power, and Godzilla is a supercar killer. Oddly, Jaguar<\/a> has decided not to make a big deal out of the release of this car (i.e. no launch) and that’s a shame, because as you’ve probably surmised by now, the engine alone makes the XF Supercharged pretty special. Keep reading to learn why this is the Goldilocks of the XF range. In other words, just right.<\/p>\n
