2014 XFR-S (supercharged V8)

​​​​​I've read they only made 200 of these total over 3 model years 2014-2017 but I've also read they only made the 2014 model year?

 

You are in the wrong forum, Nube. I have asked a Moderator to move your post to the correct forum.

 

I think you have a 2014 XFR-S which is the early X250 (2007-2015) model and not a later X260 (2015 onwards). Please confirm and I'll move your post to the relevant model forum.

My usual source for production numbers is Nigel Thorley's JAGUAR - All the Cars but he provides no data for this variant.

Yes correct

 

THANKS for the clarification. Moved from S-Type to X250 forum.

They built and exported to USA and Canada approximately 100 units per year for 2013 - 2015. To my knowledge no one can confirm total numbers. Welcome to the club! Now we expect pics of your baby.

 

So I have the opportunity to get a 2019 F type 380 V6...how does that compare to the XFR-S? It's newer but is a V6 versus a V8...also not as rare as the XFR-S. I guess should compare to the F type R V8. Anyway which do you guys think?

 

The XFR-S is a relatively rare beast even compared to the F-Type V8 let alone the F-Type V6.
And it has the glorious AJ133 5.0 SC V8 with 550 PS, the same as the previous model F-Type R (the current model F-Type R has the 575 PS version which used to be reserved for the now defunct F-Type SVR).
The V6 in the F-Type sounds good with a unique exhaust system but it still doesn't have the burble and roar of the V8.
Before I got my F-Type V6S I had a 2010 XFR, not quite an XFR-S but close, and I still miss the feel and sound of that engine.
You can easily and fairly cheaply tune the V6 to 450 or 470 hp so not that far behind the V8.
I have the 450 hp tune and I have no doubt my F-Type is as quick if not quicker than my old XFR ever was, IMHO due to a bit less weight and a snappier gearbox (ZF8HP70 vs ZF6HP28), although your XFR-S has the 8HP70.
But there is no contest in the looks department, the XFR-S is a good looking sedan while the F-Type is on a whole different planet looks wise.
Putting aside cost and looks I reckon your choice comes down to convenience and practicality - a four door five seater sedan with a decent trunk vs a two door strictly two seater sports car with in the convertible version very little room in the trunk.

 

thanks! You basically covered everything I was considering and more. I will do a test drive of the V6 and see how it compares. Driving experience is more important than convieance for this car since we have an SUV.

 

Ya I think I'm going to keep the XFR-S because of how rare it is. According to this article only 200 2014's were produced and of that only 100 came to the US

Hey are those factory rims/wheels and do you have a lowering kit? Want performance mods?

 

Welcome, and keep the XFR-s please (I'm biased)

Mine came with the more subtle rear spoiler, but seeing yours pictured with the larger wing always makes me wonder which setup I prefer more. Looks good! I say keep it!

 

I think that is probably the ONLY white XFR-S ever made.... never saw one... if you ever sell hit me up
