Jaguar has showcased its new performance saloon car,
the Jaguar XJR575 at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Jaguar XJR575 is the most powerful XJ. The
performance car comes in two new paint schemes from Special Vehicle Operations
division. The car measures 5,130 mm in length; 2,105 mm in width, including
mirrors and 1,460 mm in height. The wheelbase stands at 3,032 mm.
Updated
exterior badging and twin bonnet louvres mark the vehicle out from the rest of
the range. The car also features 20-inch Farallon gloss-black wheels with red
brake callipers. The rear spoiler, side sills, front bumper and lower air
intakes get gloss black surrounds. The headlights are adaptive LED units.
Coming to the interior, the car features an enhanced
Touch Pro Infotainment system which includes a larger 10-inch touchscreen and
4G Wi-Fi. Handcrafted veneer runs around the cabin, while the layered
instrument panel, complete with Jaguar signature ‘Riva Hoop’ continues into the
door panel. The rear passenger compartment of the LWB variant includes two
individual ‘airline style’ reclining seats featuring cushion and squab
adjustment, three massage programs, lumbar adjustment and two memory settings
for optimum comfort.
The performance saloon draws power from a 5.0-litre
supercharged V8 engine. It pushes out 575 PS of power and a massive 700 Nm of
torque with the eight-speed automatic ZF transmission. This mill helps the car
to sprint from 0-100 kmph in 4.4 seconds and have a top speed of 300 kmph. The
combined fuel efficiency according to EU legislation stands at 9 km/l.
Electronic Active Differential enables fine control of power delivery and
maximises traction.
Notable safety features include Lane Keep Assist and
Driver Condition Monitoring, apart from forward traffic detection and
Autonomous Emergency Braking.
