The "R" stands for racing version or race prepared.

No offense Big but the new XF is available with a supercharger but the "R" model will not be available for another year. Also the Mustang Cobra "R" is not supercharged nor is the Altima SE-R. The "R" is a package that also includes the big brakes and suspension upgrades that make it more stable for cornering and give better stopping power and are not allways suprcharged.
This is from Edmunds Bolg!
we can now turn our attention to the upcoming Jaguar XF-R, a top-of-the-line sports model that will sit above the supercharged version of the standard model. These prototypes were also sporting bigger wheels and tires, drilled brake rotors and quad exhaust pipes.

Maybe they just changed their definitions.

Jaguar has this very convoluted. Not every "R" supercharged car recieved the "R" package, and not every "R" package car is supercharged. Try looking up parts that way!!! Arrrgghhh!

Biggie was right that it was wrong

Biggie makes a nice save

Ken...........parts are just a nightmare allround.............thats my business too. A genuine part number always helps but of course very rarely do they have it. Its usually the whippet return valve next to the fufu assy thingymajob that they want[&:]
