    Rumorpile: Jaguar XE SVR Could Boast 500 Horsepower

      Watch out Alfa Romeo, BMW, Mercedes-AMG!

    A new report from Auto Express says Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) is putting the finishing touches on high-performance XE to take on the likes of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, BMW M3, and Mercedes-AMG C63.

    The XE SVR will boast Jaguar's 5.0L supercharged V8 engine with around 500 horsepower. This will be hooked up with an eight-speed automatic. The current SVR lineup - F-Type and Range Rover Sport - utilize all-wheel drive and there is the possibility the XE SVR could go down this route. There has also been some work done on the chassis with new springs, dampers, and a limited-slip rear differential. Expect a more aggressive exterior look to go with the mechanical changes. 

    Auto Express says the XE SVR "will arrive almost halfway through the saloon’s lifecycle," leading us to believe it could be next year or so.

    I know the standard "compact" and "mid size" sedans are competitive and all but this performance luxury category has grown to be the most competitive class of cars, imo.

    C63, M3/4, RS4/5, XE SRV, Guiia Quatrawords, IS F, ATS-V, and even Infiniti's Q60 Red Sport 400 is a pretty badass car on the lower end of the spectrum.

    Makes one wonder how much we depreciate it also based on how much is leased by people wanting to pose as being wealthy. Leasing I believe while having it's clear business points also tends to exaggerate the market of so called buyers.

    A good addition to a growing segment.  This car should be pretty good, even though it often gets overlooked.  I bet they put that engine in the F-Pace also to compete with the Macan and AMG GLC models.

    Totally agree. This is becoming an extremely competitive class and gives buyers some great cars in the process.

    OHHHHHHH....

     

    Looks like the Giulia Quad has some epic competition coming from Jaguar. If you want the Giulia, just get a Jag XE SVR and the 5 year Jaguar complete care thing. Well, if they extend that service package to the hi-po variants.

     

    With the Giulia Quad you get the Giulia, the car, the sexy tomato but nothing else. With this you get a nice comfort warranty for your British cat-tomato.

      This is what Trump promises, but that is not what Trump's #1 agenda is. His agenda is to make America into something along the lines of Russia.  Oligarch economy with not too many billionnaires controlling the meek. The meek being you and I. Meaning ALL Americans and Canadians from ALL walks of life. Only billionnaires that kowtow to him.  Albertans and the MAGA people suffer from the same disease.  No education that listened to and continue to listen to politicians and religious folk that keep them poor and stupid. Quebecois were once like that.  Cardinal whatever his name was a Premier Duplessis. And the 'Hanglish' as well.  But they got wise to that, had their silent revolution in the 1960s that came to a boil in the early 1970s, independance talks form then on up until the 1990s, and that is that.  They DO want to protect the French culture and language but they do NOT get bamboozled too quickly.  Maybe fear of the English language kreeping up into Quebec that politicians like to dangle once in a while, but that puts the English at bay so it might not be a bad thing for Quebec after all.  It looks like Quebec is on board, in English I might add, to unite with the rest of Canada to fight Trump...  Only Alberta it seems that the Conservative party in Alberta still believes that Trump will magically be nice to Albertan oil...

      As it is, I want to leave America/Canada. Culturally, i want something different and would want that even if liberal and sane people controlled everything, which they don't.  Excellent. I am also. I have everything I need or want.  Tesla always has been and always will be a house of cards. In ten or fifteen years they will be gone and most of their vehicles will be DOA because of a lack of parts and software support. Good riddance.

      Albertans mostly.  Some sprinkled in Quebec and Ontario but not that much really.  The Prairie provinces because they are still pissed that Pierre E. Trudeau, father of Justin, allegedly alienated the "West" by prevented further Albertan oil drilling and selling of said oil to other parts in Canada and in the world.  Father Trudeau did say to them to diversify in their products to produce and sell...  Irony is that Western porvinces hate father Trudeau because he alienated them while saying he favored Ontario and Quebec while Quebecois also hated father Trudeau because of same sentiment but Quebecois say that father Trudeau sold their independance to Englis Canada mainly from the west...  In my honest understanding he could not been able to do both as its contradictory.  He either was a traitor to Western Canada or he was a traitor to Eastern Canada.   In reality though, he done good when both the East and West hated him.  He done his job as there was really NO favoritism. He done his job righting many wrongs that were pulling Canada in the wrong directions from ALL provinces.
