Sweet Jaaaaaaaaaaaag.....
Motortrend said they got 4 seconds flat to 60 with the 5L super charged V8 that puts out 470hp with a ZF 8spd behind it on summer rubber.

That's pretty fast, and not even the R.



Sexy and faster and cheaper than a Mercedes!

The downside is that in inhales fuel. I know a couple people with them and they are 10-13 MPG cars, they swill 93 octane like cheap beer!

I expect numbers like that on my 426 Hemi- and it will hold its value a lot better than the Jag.

The recently-introduced Tesla Model S P85D - 691 HP, all-wheel-drive, and can pass anything on the road, including a gas station...

I still want an XJR.

Amazing, and its American!

How long does the battery last doing hole shots?

Definitely not faster than the new E63. Sexier would be debatable. The new E63's do 0-60 in the mid 3 second range. Not to mention, the bi-turbo E63's are easily upgradable to 800+ hp.

It compares to the S550 not the E63.
