The Supercharged XFR is the most dynamic and exhilarating expression of Jaguar sporting luxury.

Jaguar XFR Exterior

XENON HEADLAMPS

Low, wide one-piece headlamp clusters wrap around the body onto the front wings, closer inspection revealing twin round elements within their elegant shape; a subtle reminder of the Jaguar ‘quad lamp’ signature, updated with modern technology.

The Xenon headlamps (where fitted) incorporate headlamp washers, which operate with the ’screen wash-wipe' function, and cornering lamps, which illuminate the areas to the side of the car at low speeds when also using the turn indicators, or at large steering angles.

BLIND SPOT MONITOR

The Blind Spot Monitor (optional) takes much of the uncertainty out of lane changing. Using radar sensors to remotely cover areas that can’t be seen either directly or by mirror, it alerts you to over taking traffic with an amber warning icon in the external mirrors.

HEATED POWERFOLD MIRRORS WITH AUTO DIMMING

Powerfold heated door mirrors move inwards towards the car at the touch of a button to help when parking in tight spaces or squeezing through narrow gaps. They also feature auto dimming, which uses electrochromic glass to reduce glare when driving at night.

FRONT PARKING AID WITH REAR CAMERA

In addition to the standard rear parking aid, the XF offers the option of a similar system for the front of the car, using four sensors to detect any nearby obstacle and alert the driver with an audible signal and a visual display on the Touch-screen. The front parking aids available together with the new rear camera parking aid which combines rear-facing digital video camera with the touch-screen information centre. Objects that may have been obscured when reversing can now be seen clearly on the colour screen. Now features on-screen guidancelines that move according to steering wheel angle to indicate he area into which the car will reverse.

RAIN SENSING WINDSCREEN WIPERS

Rain sensors will detect water on the windscreen and automatically switch on the wipers at the appropriate speed.

VERSATILE STEERING WHEEL

The XF’s leather steering wheel incorporates switches for the cruise control and JaguarVoice™, if it is fitted. It can also be used to control the audio output changing between CD tracks, radio stations or selections on an MP3 player. Heating for the steering wheel is available as an option.

ATMOSPHERIC LIGHTING

Phosphor blue lighting picks out the switches, JaguarDrive Selector, start button, electric parking brake and instrument panel, as well as the centre and upper consoles.

AMPLE STORAGE

In addition to a large glovebox, the XF has storage pockets in each door and on the backs of the front seats. Because the JaguarDrive Selector™ takes up less room than a conventional gear stick, there is space for CD storage, two auxiliary power supplies, the optional Portable Audio Interface and two cupholders. Another two cupholders can be found in the centre armrest for the rear seats.

MAINTAINING THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE

The XF’s climate control system has automatic particle and odour filtration, humidity control and window demisting. The dual-zone feature allows driver and front passenger to set different temperatures. Heated front seats are available with the XF Luxury and Premium Luxury, while the XF Portfolio and XFR have ventilated front seats with both heating and cooling options.

SPACIOUS BOOT

The XF’s boot has a capacity of at least 500 litres, rising to a maximum of 540 litres, depending on which spare tyre option is chosen. Folding down the rear seats can add a further 420 litres of space.

new Jaguar XKR 75

new Jaguar XKR 75

Jaguar design the XKR 75 to celebrate Jaguar's 75th anniversary

Jaguar XKR 75 reviews

Jaguar engineers increased the power and torque of the acclaimed 5.0-litre supercharged engine to 530PS and 655Nm respectively for the XKR 75, to deliver truly outstanding performance. While the limited edition model's top speed is electronically limited to 174mph (280km/h), the XKR 75's 0-60mph (100km/h) acceleration time is reduced from 4.6 to 4.4 seconds compared to the standard 510 PS XKR.

Using the rigid lightweight aluminium architecture of the XK as a solid foundation, the increased power of the XKR 75 is matched by an agile, dynamic chassis that handles supremely, rides exceptionally well and stops with surefooted reassurance time after time.

The Jaguar XKR 75 features revised suspension and handling for increased precision and agility in addition to the performance enhancements. To ensure the XKR 75 remains stable at high speeds, a revised aerodynamic body pack with a front splitter, side sill extensions, a rear diffuser and larger rear spoiler provide increased balance and a reduction in lift. The XKR's computerised Active Differential Control also adjusts to reduce steering sensitivity at very high speeds, further improving stability and driver control.

And with an improved acoustics package for the semi-active sports exhaust, the XKR 75 produces a pulse-racing growl to match its performance.

The XKR 75 features a new Stratus Grey finish. Red brake callipers contrast the eye-catching 20-inch gloss Vortex forged lightweight alloys with a dark technical finish and diamond turn. Customers will have the option to apply a unique body graphic that runs from the front bumper to the rear haunches.

The XKR 75's interior completes the driver-focussed performance environment finished in Charcoal with ivory stitch, piano black finish to facia and centre console and a Jet suedecloth headlining.

Jaguar XKR 75 specification :

• Only 75 will be produced making it one of the most exclusive and exciting XKR's
• Higher performance than standard XKR - 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 174mph
• Power and torque increased to 530PS and 655Nm respectively
• Upgraded handling and suspension package for increased precision and agility
• Sports exhaust with improved acoustics to match performance
• XKR 75 will be sold in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands and Belgium

new Mercedes-benz CLS-Class

new Mercedes-benz CLS-Class

With the new CLS-Class exuding quality inside and out, it is little wonder TopGear magazine (December 2010) can only rave about the "svelte styling" of this "intelligently engineered" 4-door coupé. With luxuriously crafted features and perfectly finished options, such as the LED headlights and immaculately stitched leather dash-top, the CLS-Class more than holds its own in the eyes of some of the most demanding car critics in the UK.

TopGear have hailed the powerful V8 engine that sits in the new CLS 500 as a "masterpiece" that "has the necessary chops to worry a supercar in terms of handling and performance". Added to that, "the numbers on Mercedes' latest powerplants are so good they look like typographic errors" with both CO2 emissions and fuel consumption much improved compared to the previous generation.

Mercedes-benz new CLS-Class Exterior

With its stunning exterior styling, you’d expect the new CLS-Class to deliver an exceptional driving experience – and it doesn’t disappoint. What’s more, it does so with minimal environmental impact, thanks to a range of new BlueEFFICIENCY engines.

The popular CLS 350 CDI, for example, has been BlueEFFICIENCY-optimised to significantly enhance its performance. Power output has increased from 224 hp to 265 hp (164 to 194 kW) and torque has improved by 80 Nm to 620 Nm, yet CO2 emissions start from just 160 g/km – a 21 per cent reduction. Other new engines will include the CLS 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY - the first 4-cylinder unit to grace the

CLS-Class line-up – which achieves up to 54.5 mpg with CO2 emissions as low as 135 g/km.

Even the formidable CLS 500 has had the BlueEFFICIENCY treatment. Despite this new V8 twin turbo engine offering 5 per cent more power and 13 per cent more torque, its CO2 emissions have been reduced by 24 per cent to 210 g/km.

All of these superb new engines are complemented by an improved 7G-Tronic Plus automatic transmission and Direct Control suspension with selective damping, resulting in impeccable ride quality. In addition, hydraulic steering has been replaced by new electro mechanic steering, providing even more assured, agile handling across the entire speed range.

Mercedes-benz new CLS-Class Interior

The original CLS-Class set the highest standards of luxury, quality and craftsmanship – and the new CLS-Class continues this proud tradition.

Maintaining the pioneering four-seat coupé layout, the beautifully designed cabin uses the finest materials and finishes to create a sense of refined, understated elegance. From distinctive Aubergine leather upholstery to opulent Burr Walnut trim, there’s an array of opportunities to personalise the interior to suit your tastes. What’s more, thanks to the new vehicle’s larger dimensions, there’s even more interior space for occupants and their luggage.

An array of stylish details ranges from extra trim elements on the door, to the new colour instrument cluster. Options vary from the Luxury Package – complete with Passion leather upholstery and electric glass sunroof – to Ambient interior lighting, which uses low-level coloured lighting to create a calm and relaxing in-cabin atmosphere.

For convenience, gearshift paddles and the Direct Select gearshift lever are standard while Active Parking Assist helps make light work of parking. The system not only identifies appropriately sized spaces but also guides the vehicle in – drivers simply operate the accelerator and brake.

new Mercedes-benz C 63 AMG Saloon

new Mercedes-benz C 63 AMG Saloon

With the best power-to-weight ratio in its class, the C 63 AMG Saloon boasts a powerful 6,208cc AMG V8 engine, and the resulting peak output of 457hp (336 kW) and 600Nm torque propels the vehicle from 0-62mph in just 4.5 seconds.

For a comfortable yet enjoyable drive, the revving function 'blips' the throttle when downshifting, to facilitate rapid and smooth gear changing.

AMG Sports Suspension features a newly developed front axle with a 35mm wider track - visible by the more widely flared wheel arches - ensuring both outstanding driving enjoyment and exemplary handling dynamics.

A three-stage ESP® system has also been specifically configured for the C 63 AMG, enabling the driver to choose between three modes - ESP® ON, ESP® SPORT and ESP® OFF.

Mercedes-benz C 63 AMG Saloon Exterior

The C 63 AMG Saloon builds on the dramatic styling of the C-Class Sport, sharing its radiator grille with central star, but adding the AMG trademark two chromed louvres. The distinctive front end, with 25mm flared wings, is further dominated by dark-tinted headlamps and bonnet with two striking power domes. The athletic AMG front apron is accentuated by side air vents and chrome-set round fog lamps.

The AMG diffusor-look rear apron features three pronounced diffusor fins, LED tail lights, plus the AMG sports exhaust system with two sets of chromed twin tailpipes, and an AMG spoiler lip to reduce lift and ensure greater handling stability at high speeds. Furthermore, the side profile of the C 63 AMG Saloon demonstrates a view of the 6.3 AMG lettering on the side of the front wings, the AMG side skirts, and the

18-inch, 5-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels* in a high-gloss Titanium Grey finish.

* Front: 8.0J x 18 (235/40 tyres). Rear: 9.0J x 18 (255/35 tyres).

Mercedes-benz C 63 AMG Saloon Interior

The racing theme continues in the interior with special designed AMG sports seats. The seat design features horizontal fluting, integral head restraints embossed with AMG lettering, and an adaptive backrest with side bolsters and lumbar support - adjustable via an integrated control switch.

The motor sport inspired steering wheel is just 365mm in diameter. The three-spoke design benefits from embossed leather with perforated side grips and a flattened underside. Aluminium AMG shift paddles complete the look, along with a dynamic black roof lining and brushed stainless steel sports pedals.

The tailored, tubular AMG instrument cluster conveys exhilaration. Eye-catching details include AMG lettering in the speedometer, red needles and the 6.3 V8 logo in the rev counter. An AMG main menu features three sub-menus:

• Warm Up displays the engine oil and coolant temperature
• Set Up shows the current ESP® mode and drive programme
• Race measures racetrack lap times, with Racetimer

This interior package features a black designo leather trim for the top section of the dashboard – complemented by black stitching, the beltline section of the doors and the centre-console armrest.
