2008 Jaguar XF

I always used to think that only women should drive Jags.

Jags looked soft with smooth and curvy lines, you know, like women… So it kinda just made me think that the Jag was more of a woman’s car.

Then comes this wild cat newly launched from Jaguar. It looks as though a Lexus IS250 and Aston Martin DBS collided with one another and this luxury sports car emerged from the heap looking a little pissed off…

Here are some pics…

Long, low and wide lines with clear, muscular proportions. A very strong Aston Martin-sque grille that creates a very distinctive signature for this luxury sports saloon.

Low nose that sweeps past the sculpted light clusters. Note the side power vents and the large, alloy wheels. Several wheel options are available. These include 18″ and 19″ alloy wheel options from Carelia, Auriga, Venus, Cygnus, Libra and 20″ Selena and Volans wheels standard only on the Supercharged SV8 models.

The 2008 Jaguar XF interior ambience is enriched with crafted, luxurious materials, sophisticated instruments and calm interior mood lighting. Interior includes leather, twin-needle stitching and handcrafted wood veneer next to textured aluminium.

At night, Phosphor blue halo illumination highlights the aluminium coloured faces of the Jaguar XF’s dials and instruments.

At start up, press the pulsing red start button and a whole ballet-like sequence takes place : the JaguarDrive Selector rises softly, the rotating air vents turn quietly from their flush positions to their open positions, the Touch Screen comes to life and the message centre does a system check for the car…

And the heart of this great car… The 2008 Jaguar XF offers 4 great engines: the 2.7 litre V6 turbodiesel, 3.0 litre V6, a 4.2 litre naturally aspirated V8 to the supercharged 4.2 litre V8.

Here are some other pics of this beauty…

Actually, the pictures don’t do justice for this luxurious sports car at all. While the pictures of the 2008 Jaguar XF do make you stop and stare, nothing beats seeing this great car in person. One was parked just outside my office the other day and boy oh boy, was it sweet looking.

For all you readers in Singapore, if you’re interested, here’s what the damage on this car will be:

3.0 V6 Luxury (A)

3.0 V6 Premium Luxury (A)

4.2 V8 Supercharged (A)
