2010 Jaguar XF-R Spotted Testing In Death Valley, Sporting Vantage Power?
When we last checked in with the 2010 Jaguar XF-R it looked as though there might be a powerful 5.0-liter V8 lurking under the hood. We've seen a lot of the XF-R, as seen below, but the actual motivation has been a point of contention. It is our good fortune then that a Fast Lane Daily source happened to spot a fleet of XF-R engine mules, posing as S-Types, doing some harsh weather testing in Death Valley, California. Witnesses suggested the mules emitted a sound similar to the V8 found in the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. That's not an insane suggestion given that Aston and Jag were under the same roof around the time this vehicle probably began development.[Fast Lane Daily]

2010 Jaguar XF-R
KGP, the quickest-snapping spy photographers this side of Jim Dunne (he doesn't wait to focus) just caught the best shots yet of the up-powered 2010 Jaguar XF-R as it rolled through the city streets somewhere in the UK. Check out those hood vents, that big and aggressive front air dam and the grille's new strainer-like mesh treatment. As far as the powerplant, KGP tells us"Sources report that the XF-R will get a new supercharged 5.0-liter V8 making a minimum of 500 horsepower, so Jaguar clearly appears to have the likes of the BMW M5 and AMG E63 in its sights."Yes, this pretty kitty positively oozes the feel of performance. Maybe it will help to overcome that rear end quarter panel that positively oozes the look of a Dodge Intrepid. Full spy report after the jump. Wait, Jim Dunne's still alive? Who knew? — Ed.

2009 Jaguar XF Caught In San Jose Wilderness
Reader James P. got quite a fright this weekend while stumbling back to his hotel room in San Jose after one too many virgin marys. A black 2009 Jaguar XF crossed his woozy path. but James was quick-witted enough to snap the pictures you see here. However, he was evidently too

Jaguar Creates iPhone and iPod Touch-only Broadband Magazine for New XF
The car brand all about the cat scratch fever has partnered with the 29HD Network to develop what they're the calling the "industry's first broadband multimedia magazine specifically for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users" to "experience the new Jaguar XF like never before." And by never before they mean on a tiny screen where you don't have to see the Dodge Intrepid-like looks of the 2009 Jaguar XF. Or maybe it'll be the all-James May channel. Although we must say we've worked with the folks at 29HD Network in the past and we're interested in seeing how this one turns out. Full press release after the jump.More »

Captain Slow took a turn or two 'round some rolling UK hills in Jaguar's new cat scratch fever, the S-Type replacing 2009 Jaguar XF. Top Gear gives it twostrokes thumbs up — as you'd expect from the British motoring show. But the best part has to be when James May claims the XF shows Jaguar's finally got a big brass set again beneath all the fur. We're not entirely sure, but one thing we know for certain — and maybe it's the skillful video production — but for the first time, we're actually liking the XF's Intrepid styling. You be the judge.

Yeah, so the Jaguar XF is here. On sale in March of '08, the 300 hp sedan will set you back $49,975 and the supercharged, 400 hp version cost you an additional $13,000. However, it will muscle its way to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. We like that. Sadly, despite designer Ian Callum's best efforts the looks still leave us cold. Well, not exactly cold, but viewed from the side, everything behind the B-pillar looks like an Infiniti G and the short front fenders scream FWD. The headlamps are sharp and the taillights scream Aston Martin, which we think we like. Yeah, so... anyone see that French Tatra?

Frankfurt Auto Show: 2009 Jaguar XF
Here you go kids, it's your brand-saving entry from Shag-you-are, the XF. Yeah, it's not as hot as the XF Concept, even though Mr. Cullum promised it would be. Still, this cat's got some good curves on her, even going so far as aping Aston's DB9 from behind. Dare we say that perhaps we were a bit too hasty in our initial verdict? Or does everything look simply snazzy under 17 coats of wax, professional lighting and 50 gallons of none-more-black paint? And have we shown you the interior? No, really, have a look at the gorgeous orange seats. You'll plotz. We did.More »

Jaguar XF R Test Mule
With the new Jaguar XF sedan in the can, it's time to turn our attention to the R version. That's the one that had better get close to the Germans' AMG and M hardware, or else lose face. Now, spy photographers have caught this duplicitous test mule that sports the front of an XF on the body of an S-Type. But it's not just any S-Type — the quad exhaust, fat meats and cross-drilled disks give away its sporting underpinnings. We're assuming the latest supercharged incarnation of the Jag 4.2-liter V8 is cloaked under that Frankensteinian bonnet. We'll see the product n 2008. [World Car Fans]

Well, we've now got the first running video of the just revealed 2009 Jaguar XF and yes, it certainly looks better on the road than it did when we first saw the press shots. However, it's still a few steps removed from the hotness that was the concept C-XF revealed at the this year's Detroit Auto Show. And by a few steps, we probably mean flights of stairs. But we digress, at least now we know a little bit more about the sedan that Jaguar hopes will give the pretty kitty brand the title of "the sports sedan brand of the world." Because you know, "it's theirs for the taking." We didn't realize how much the speedometer and tachometer look like the eyes of a cat on that dark black instrument panel. Scary! Guess we'll be waiting to check out the dash ourselves in two weeks at the Frankfurt Auto Show when it's officially unveiled. [Motor Authority]

After yesterday's official reveal of the 2009 Jaguar XF, the pretty kitty brand from Ford's released pricing in the UK for their new four-door saloon they'll be showing off in Frankfurt next month. Although there's no US pricing, we do know the XF will hit the streets in March of '09 and in the UK will start at the equivalent of $67,973 for the 2.7-liter V6 diesel or the 3.0-liter V6 gas-engined base models and run all the way up to $110,000 for the top of the line model with the big supercharged 4.2-liter V8 running on gas.

So here's the 2009 Jaguar XF. It represents a new design direction for Ford's up-for-sale luxe brand. Since it was shown as the CX-F concept in Detroit earlier this year, the concept crystallized into the Dodge Intrepid-like four-door XF you see here. All that need be said about it — at least at this juncture — is in the press release (see it after the jump). Perhaps more important is the tortured process that lead to our publication of the picture you see above. Its a sordid tale familiar to those operating inside Eight Mile. Yet again an automaker decided to provide limited embargo access to "trusted" media outlets that have proven less than worthy of that title. It started with a teasing side-shot from Road & Track, then a set of low-resolution shots that arrived on the internet late last week — shots that worked their way through the forums until finally reaching more heavily trafficked international sites and then next to the Road that is ever-Winding and some of the other smaller automotive blogs. Normally we'd have jumped into the breach of the embargo dike along with our fellow internet breathren, handing you the dregs and drippings from another automaker.

Jaguar XF Teaser Shot Spotted On Interwebs
Say hello to the purported headlight of the new Jaguar XF — at least according to Gyro1, a forum member over at CarSpyShots. He (or she) claims it was a camera phone shot taken from a dealership brochure. We've no idea if Gyro1's full of it, or full of pride that he snagged this first shot of — umm — the headlight of the XF before the whole thing's revealed to us in Frankfurt early next month. Frankly, we're more excited about the rear end shots snagged by WorldCarFans earlier this month. Although it's probably more exciting than tape — even if the tape's going for a good cause.

Jaguar XF Getting Ready For Frankfurt
These new shots of the Jaguar XF seem to indicate it's getting awfully close to being ready for the Frankfurt Auto Show reveal. We'll let the WorldCarFans folks give you the rest of the story: "Code-named X 250, the new XF aims in particular at buyers of the very successful BMW 5-Series. The current S-Type has been on the market since 1998, and although it had found many faithful buyers, the nostalgic styling turned out not to be for everyone. The new XF abandons traditional styling to pursue a more youthful modern design as seen in the C-XF Concept.More »

A-list car spy photographer (and sometimes Jalopnik contributor) Brenda Priddy's always one to use her unique "star-like" status in the industry to make some dough for those less fortunate. Just as an example, last year she put herself in "jail" to look for some straight-to-charity bail money. This year however, she's snagged some littered duct tape and a sticky wad of camouflage from the not-yet-out 2009 Jaguar XF and she's auctioning it off along with a 12" x 18" shot of the Jaguar XF signed by none other than the spy mistress herself. So hop on over to eBay and snag yourself some super-secret sticky stuff and a pic of the Jaguar XF — it's for a good cause. [eBay]

Our photo-snapping pal Jim snagged us these shots in San Francisco of what looks to be the same Jaguar XF test vehicle caught by the professional spy-shooters out in the Arizona desert last week. If you'll remember, we saw the reveal of the concept car version of the new S-type replacement, the Jaguar C-XF concept car way back in January at the Detroit Auto Show. Our sources tell us we should be seeing the official uncloaking of Jaguar's non-concept version first-hand in Frankfurt in September, with manufacturing to begin late this year in the UK and delivery to begin Spring of 2008. For the time being, or until we're able to snatch up some more shots, we'll have to make do with these.
