Spied: Jaguar XF without disguise
Spies have captured the first photos of a production Jaguar XF in full showroom trim. The car is partially covered by a large cloth, but many details of the car's exterior are visible for the first time ever.
Elements of the C-XF concept are clearly in play on XF but the aggression level seems to have been toned down on the production model in some instances.
The production XF's fender vent is much more consistent with Jaguar's current line-up. The vent revealed on this prototype looks like it was taken directly from the current XK.
How closely the XF mimics the concept's front design will make or break the XF. Previous shots show the "blades" that bisect the concept's outer air-intakes are more uniform on the XF, with a less pronounced flare as they wrap toward the front fenders. The lower central air-intake also mimics the concept, but the look isn't quite as cohesive on the production XF.
Official photos will be released in the coming weeks, and more revealing spy shots are likely to arrive before that time. The XF will go on sale later this year in some markets, and early next year in others. It will be offered with a V8, supercharged V8, and "R" supercharged V8, according to various sources. Speculative horsepower ratings are 300, 420, and 500, respectively.
