2010 Jaguar XF Supercharged to Receive New 5.0-liter Supercharged V-8


Jaguar has announced that there will indeed be an XF Supercharged model for 2010. Just a year after the model’s initial debut, the Supercharged’s V-8 will grow in size from 4.2 to 5.0 liters, utilizing a detuned version of the engine in the XFR. Slotting in between the XF Premium’s 385-hp V-8 and the top-dog XFR’s blown 510-hp V-8, the XF Supercharged’s new AJ-V8 Gen III motor makes 470 hp (up from the ’09 model’s 420) and 424 lb-ft of torque.

In addition to the new motor, Jaguar’s Adaptive Dynamics and Active Differential Control systems are now standard equipment. Other minor changes for 2010 include new 20” wheels, upgraded brakes, quad exhaust tips, new interior trim options, and a heated steering wheel.

Expect the 2010 models to arrive at dealerships in October, starting at around $68,000.
