2014 Jaguar XJR

The supercharged 5.0-liter V8 packs an aggressive 550-horsepower at 6,500 rpm, a 502 pound-feet torque at 5,500 rpm max, and intelligent start-stop control, this engine allows a 0-60mph sprint in 4.4 seconds and an electronically limited peak speed of 174mph. Thrust and power is routed to the rear tires via an eight-speed automatic transmission mechanism which tracks acceleration and deceleration, throttle and braking patterns, road load and cornering forces. On automatic mode, these allow smooth gearshift changing to accommodate different driving conditions, while corner recognition offers swift and seamless overtaking.
