2010 Jaguar XFR leaked ahead of Detroit reveal

Posted on January 9th, 2009 by Patrick Westbrook | Posted under: Jaguar

Thanks to the leaky ship at 4wheelsnews we can now show you the upcoming 2010 Jaguar XFR that was originally scheduled to debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week. Built to battle with the BMW M5, Audi RS6, Mercedes-Benz E63 and the Cadillac CTS-V, the up-spec Jaguar looks to be quite the contender.

The 2010 Jaguar XFR receives a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 with the ability to power down 510 horsepower and 460lb-ft of torque through its new 20-inch Nevis aluminum wheels. After the smoke clears, you’ll notice that the XFR is capable of rocketing to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and will continue on to an electronically limited 155 mph. Stopping a pussy cat with this kind of speed requires some heavy rollers and the XFR receives up-rated ventilated discs and R-spec calipers.

Kia has released its second teaser for the upcoming Soulster Concept that will make its worldwide debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. While previously rumored to be a pickup variant of the recently introduced Kia Soul, it now appears that the Soulster Concept will feature a glass rear upper section which leads us to believe that it is a 2-door coupe variant.

Kia is remaining silent with the exception of these two teaser images and will debut the final version at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show next week. The Kia Soul is the South Korean competitor to Scion’s popular XB model and based on appearances alone, it looks to be quite a hit.
