I was beside of an XF the other day for about 10 miles from stop light to stop light and started thinking which one is faster. They both have the same engine and drive train but the XF's Curb Weight is 4306 and the S-Type is 4075. I found a great site for the comparison but no 0-60 or ¼ mile head to head comparisons.

Same engine? Some of the XFs are 5.0 V8.... some are 5.0 SC

Better fuelling, too (direct injection). Now guess which is faster lol

 

2006 3.0 0-60---7.7 sec.

2007 4.4 0-60---6.4 sec. n/a

Source: Cars.com Los Angeles region. I just took a sample of two cars from the for sale listings, have no idea on the accuracy.

 

STR 5.3 sec (or so)

I think the XFR is about 5.0 sec

(hmm, 4.4 now what's that engine? Land Rover?)

 

Both are sexy cars! The XFR is one I look forward on getting....

 

4.2 Vs. 4.2

S-Type 4.2 2007 Review says 0-60 is 6.2

XF 4.2 2009 Review says 0-60 is 6.2

Looks to me like they both post the same times if only I had a freind w/an XF I would find out for myself.

 

A nice S-Type will cost you less than $20K and possibly less than $15K.

A nice XF will cost you more than $50K and possibly more than $60K.

Easy decision in my household....

 

My question is which car is faster????

 

But only of the 4.2 engine?

And faster..... in a straight line from 0-60?

 

YES, ONLY THE 4.2 ENGINE!! Which one if faster in a straight line from 0-60 or the 1/4 mile.

 

google them, takes a few seconds

they appear to be the same

but the XF costs a LOT more of course
