- Jaguar XF V8 75th Anniversary Edition
- 5.0 Litre V8 power, performance and legendary sound
- Comprehensively equipped
- XF V8 at $128,900 plus on road costs
Jaguar Australia is proud to announce the new XF V8 75th
Anniversary Edition, continuing the series of special editions
launched to celebrate Jaguar's 75th Anniversary.
Powered by Jaguar's 5.0 Litre V8, the XF V8 75th Anniversary
Edition combines power, dynamics and technology to deliver a true
V8 driving experience. The XF V8 75th Anniversary Edition has a
recommended retail price of $128,900, plus on road costs.
The naturally-aspirated 5.0 Litre AJ-V8 Gen III engine produces
283kW of power and 515 Nm of torque to deliver 0-100km/h
acceleration in 5.7 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to
250 km/h.
Power is delivered through Jaguar's acclaimed 6-speed electronic
automatic transmission. It features the lightening-quick Jaguar
Sequential Shift system with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters
for manual gear selection when the driver prefers even greater
control, and Sports mode for even quicker gear changes.
Power is nothing without dynamics, and the V8 engine and
transmission are complemented by technology that is intuitive,
unobtrusive, and never dominating.
JaguarDrive Control interacts with the Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC), engine and transmission management systems to change the
characteristics of engine mapping, transmission shifts and brake
interventions. It offers different modes, selectable by a button,
to optimise the vehicle response depending on driving conditions
and style.
For the driver who desires the ultimate XF V8 driving
experience, Dynamic Mode optimises vehicle systems to deliver a
more involving driving experience. When selected, Trac DSC is
automatically engaged, and engine torque delivery characteristics
and gear shift points are modified to further improve
responsiveness. If selected while the transmission is in full
manual mode, transmission upshifts are fully controlled by the
driver, with no automatic up-shift when the rev limit is
reached.
The driving experience is accompanied by the salacious sound
only possible from a true V8. With V8's engine sound quality
developed to deliver an overtly sporty sound quality when
accelerating, this XF sounds as good as it goes.
The power, dynamics and audible symphony are all wrapped up in
the XF's award-winning sports car styling with its strong visual
presence and proportion - a style that is further enhanced on the
XF V8 75th Anniversary Edition by standard 20" alloy wheels and
exhaust pipe finishers.
The exhilarating experience continues inside with leather seats
and steering wheel, knurled aluminium and real wood veneer trim,
and phosphor blue halo lighting combining to create a welcoming,
enveloping environment for driver and passengers.
Despite the low entry price, the XF V8 75th Anniversary Edition
has an extensive list of standard features, including 8 way
electric seats, keyless start, automatic climate control, and
cruise control. Satellite navigation ensures finding the best long
winding road is only ever a touch-screen away.
While the V8 engine provides an endearing soundtrack, the
8-speaker audio system gives rise to alternatives, and the standard
portable audio interface ensures easy connection to multiple audio
sources including fully-integrated iPod connectivity.
Cocooned in the XF, front and side airbags for the driver and
front passenger, side curtain airbags, Corner Brake Control (CBC),
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and Jaguar's Pedestrian Contact
Sensing system are just some of the many features that combine to
protect those inside and out.
"We are very proud to continue the 75th anniversary celebration
of Jaguar with the release of the XF V8 75th Anniversary Edition.
Jaguar's racing heart is reflected in a long history of powerful,
dynamic and stylish vehicles. The XF V8 75th Anniversary Edition
continues that tradition into the future with a true V8 driver's
car" said Kevin Goult, General Manager, Jaguar Australia. "It has
the power, performance, dynamics and luxury Jaguar is renowned for.
And nothing beats that V8 sound!" he added.
