The 542-horsepower, 186 mph performance British station wagon
Just before the Geneva auto show, Jaguar flips the sheets off its brand new super wagon, the XFR-S Sportbrake.

Not quite cancelled, 5 extremely exclusive cars to be built
Don’t you hate when automakers flaunt engorged stats and titillating images of cars they know they’ll never let you have? It’s the gearhead’s equivalent of going to a strip club: all stimulation, no realization. Such is the case with Jaguar who are releasing new images of its aborted C-X75 Concept.
