[@davidpeters6536]

I hope they spell check it...

[@Robocop0453]

I drive one of these every day through the summer and u never stop loving it.

[@wolfxj1]

Finally Jaguar has managed to come up with a brilliant car, classy, powerful, technologically innovative and what road presence!!!!

[@kevinlambert9206]

I have brought a Jaguar XF R Sports 2.2i Diesel 2015 and it is being delivered tomorrow I can’t wait 😊 I am so excited to own one and can’t wait to drive it to work thank you Jaguar 🐆👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻

[@wolfxj1]

What a comeback for Jaguar, very impressive!!

[@Jagman58]

Luke, we know a great car when we see one, he doesn't. It's good that you defend Jaguar so well, good man.

[@venom5809]

The jump at the end, awesome.

[@Alan10018]

Awesome driving! This is also my favorite car!

[@feythtreader]

awesome jump! thanks for posting!

[@bkvintagecorp]

u guys are good at this... more videos plzzz

[@ekilice]

4:00 oh my fkin Gosh! Whatta a fakin jump was it? :D

[@AnsonLim]

I LOVE THIS CAR! I have a sovereign, and I love Jaguar so much! nice jump, looks just like a jaguar. This car lives up to it's name.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

He really pushed the XFR to it's potential.

[@peanuts2105]

Thats a good thing, the S-type drove very well despite the grandfather clock looks. My current XF-S drives nothing like the old S-Type. It's sublime

[@RAGEwens]

One of top cars in history and still comming to be even better!

[@tigerbalm666]

Front heavy for that jump! I think you did some damage underneath. Did you get in trouble for that not-so-good idea? Why would you even try that on such a nice car?

[@2626stephen]

Some beast .... and a nice jump as well !!

[@Goproflying]

Having worked as a driver in London, this car has one of the best soundtracks of any car on the road, except maybe a 430 or a gallardo.

[@SouthpawSatch]

Nice review

[@gewoontimm]

nice jump.. its a beast.. i think the front bumper got tapped if i look at the sides at the wheels popping out when it hits the ground.... but overall very nice

[@Millmiglia001]

I would love an XFR, I only have a 3.0 litre XF - the new XF/XJ/F Type jags will go down as design classics in the next 20 years just as the E Type did.

[@lbennyn]

That jump is sick :D

[@HemantGiri]

what a review enjoyed it

[@lewis72]

...the thing is, this car is on the old DW98 Ford platform that the S-Type was launched on! Yeah, it's had a few mods along the way; different subframes and the like but it does have its ancestry back there.

[@amcdonal86VT]

Good observation!

[@JuanPapaNicolao]

i love the bodystyle of this jag

[@LeoErba]

What a jump!

[@kirkeer]

love the jump :D

[@SantiagojoseChacon]

what a great job!

[@calucalu123]

crazy jump!

[@kendickson6909]

No point comparing this XFR to the F10 M5, the E60 is its contemporary. As one who has owned both an E60 and (now) an XF (but only the Diesel S :-() the XF is a far better dynamic machine, i.e. it's better to actually drive! And even the XF Diesel S has 60lb/ft more torque than the M5, the XFR has 80lb/ft more. In real driving, it's mid-range torque that drives the car. I tried a BMW 5, a 5GT and a 7 before buying the XF. As a driver's car, the XF is just in a higher league, and because it's the Portfolio, it's better equipped too. And let's be honest, above 150mph performance is just bragging rights in the pub, unless your commute is round the Nurburgring.

[@mattwardpictures]

Looking back on Top Gear's review of this car, James May would agree that the XF/Supercharged is better than the regular E60, but Clarkson gave the M5 the slight edge over the XFR *on the track,* despite the torque deficit. (The Bimmer posted faster lap times than the Jag, and offers a more visceral track day experience.) Both agree, however, that the XF/R drives better on the road.

[@Q.Lawrence]

I want this car!!!

[@hyderbomb]

wow that guy does very good videos

[@Irvine7214x6apc]

What a masterpiece that car is... It's my new favourite Jag...period.

[@AlternativeUses]

when im in the resturant having dinner sometimes i have this image of the valet doing that w/ my car

[@Towelman20]

wow the XFR is a very impresive car.

[@ajmangalore]

i love the jag

[@paulchen508]

The Jump Test is so funny

[@onefouronezero]

from the badge itself, the Jag wants to jump and indeed it jumped like a Jag on it's badge!

[@niceguya1ways]

Thats the sexiest jump iv seen a 4 door sedan ever do!! Very nice car this.

[@pedropolski1]

I want one!

[@rtingdds]

@Scudeyyy FYI, 2012 XFR-S is 550 hps

[@SPMNDK89]

I would love to spend a day on that track and just do crazy jumps.

[@GapperFly]

favorite 4 door saloon i think. I want to see a M5 vs XF R race

[@lewis72]

XFRS - 550bhp. He hasn't said what engine is in this test car but it changed from AJ33 to AJ133 on about this year getting another 90-ish hp. It also ditched the 6HP26 and took the 8HP70 instead.

[@vinto34]

awesome...the same engine that is in the range rover vogue 2010.

[@Ryzza5]

I'm guessing the displayed speed is incorrect by xMPH to help prevent accidental speeding tickets. Therefore when it says 160MPH it may well be only doing 155.

[@mikealanzo]

This guy reminds me of William Shaftner...They both rock!!!! a kickass awesome review btw!!!

[@mikealanzo]

Boy do I love this guy or what!!.... :) he captures my intresst about what he is reviewing.....and he's got ability to NOT BULLSHIT!!!.... GREAT JOB MAN!!!

[@peanuts2105]

This guy is good behind the wheel. This is a super cat

[@Jagman58]

So, the US gets Top Gear before the UK? I haven't seen the XFR and M5 test yet as it hasn't been on yet.

[@alx917]

great video as usual but, could you guys please invest in some better quality cameras maybe

[@EccentricRichard]

@Janusha - sorry, who won't do what for a while? I was talking about the widespread reports of problems with the XF's electrics...

[@Jeff26]

i drove the standard XF. that thing was sexy and smooth

[@ayub700]

love it

[@EccentricRichard]

@Janusha - me too. Mind you, the tales of XF electrical woe are worrying...

[@gentarion]

it look like he dented the front spolier on that landing... lovely car 5****!

[@sebast007]

I love the car! 5* Thx for sharing

[@Irvine7214x6apc]

Yeah I know it is a little bit better, but my type of Jag has always been the big saloon one. But the XKR is indeed another masterpiece, no doubt about that! Cheers mate!

[@george385]

@AnAngryPossom The V8 are built in Wales.

[@FizzyMotors]

what a jump!!

[@george385]

@AnAngryPossom Thats a popular misconception. Jaguar designed the Jag V8 - not FORD (Ford DID provide much needed funding at the time): "The Jaguar company introduced the new AJ26 V8 engine in 1996. It has been developed and updated since, and appears in the S-Type and later vehicles from Jaguar. This V8 was used in some of Ford's Premier Automotive Group Jaguar and Land Rover brands.

[@DCN1234567]

If you pause at the right moments during the jump, you can see sparks under the car and the sides of the bumper pop out.

[@GT3LM]

This is hilairious. You're fighting a lost battle here! Have you ever driven a new Jag?

[@Jagman58]

This car is quite simply the best supersaloon in the world.

[@freedom_5891]

Thats a real road test.

[@OjavierMD]

Damn, that was some sweet jump. Hopefully he didn't do any damage to the car there. But wow, was that a jump.

[@george385]

@trilingualkid I've had three Jags over a period of 20 years and none of them have EVER let me down? Which model did you own that let you down?

[@Jagman58]

Steve is a good driver

[@MadDogMeh]

Pause at 4:06 The word "classy" has a new meaning.

[@bhattuml07]

Ohhh I just love my Jaguar XFR so so much.....don't feel like driving my BMW anymore when I have to choose between the 2 to get to work

[@Zumbruk]

The fuel tank's too small and it needs a rear wash-wipe. Apart from that, I completely agree, although I'd be reluctant to "jump" mine!

[@george385]

@mmtiger31 XFR is the supercharged XF

[@Dreadzedan]

In terms of just looks alone this jag takes it, hands down (just my opinion) And from the reviews it seems to be a very good performance/Luxury car also Nice, Jag.

[@Mattbarttt]

i would have never been that close to the wall, jesus.

[@neilsmith6092]

Jaguar =the most credible car on the road total class

[@DUCWIDT]

That jump at 4:05 is badass! you need balls of steel to do that with a ditch over the other side

[@Johanoeberg]

The Jump, is that the same as they shooted in James Bond: Casino Royale? It sure looked like it!

[@neurocytohemotoxic]

This car's performance is impressive.

[@panicmanic14]

Hes a good driver!! :D

[@Souwannaknow]

this dude can drive

[@ajmangalore]

i agree with you cerbman

[@chitpaul]

Look very similar to a standard XF... needs a bit of a body kit.. surprised it jumped like that..

[@enigmamonkey92]

the JUMP! AHA AWESOME!

[@AdrianC12345]

@19thaman79 Look, 510 hp is enough to compete with those two since this one is more comfortable. I just meant about the XKR and the XFR, I never think that a heaviercar should get the same engine as a lighter one, because then the lighter one will undoubtably out shine this car praformacewise. The XFR is the one I'd buy.

[@MilitantOldLady]

@19thaman79 whats the point of that, they have the CTSV

[@tcclaviger]

it can fly but will it blend?

[@trilingualkid]

@george385 i have no doubt i will like the car, but will it continue to be reliable to me is my worried.

[@peterlittlewood7868]

Fantastic review. i have one lol 😊

[@pushitrecords]

This is a good show WATCH OUT TOP GEAR. These cats have the resouces (TRACKS) too take the cars to the limit. nice

[@HaguSlayer]

beast driver

[@dagnut]

where did he get ton and 3/4 from ? this car is 1890kg

[@vinto34]

awesome car this... id get this fifty times over before the m5.

[@Paul21691]

whats the jag limited by????

[@Jaculaz]

Front spoiler destroyed?

[@MadDogMeh]

Btw, I LOVE this car.

[@george385]

@bobrec3GTI The CTS V is 6.2litre @ 550(+)bhp and the Jag 4.2litre at 510bhp (thats full 2litres smaller than the CTS). The Jag is clearly delivering more punch for your bucks?

[@kevinmanns7170]

The jag is a 5 litre, not 4.2 !!

[@admiraljimmy]

Holy crap, that's one hot, sick ass jag man. that 5.0 will move and it got a sick ass purr to it. Kinda sounds like a... jaguar? haha.

[@merxhobenz]

is this 5.0 liters supercharged with 510 or 470 hp !?
