Jaguar unveils XF Diesel S for Europe
December 31st, 1969
Jaguar has just taken the wraps off its most advanced and powerful diesel model in its history, the all-new XF Diesel S. Powered by the carmaker’s new AJ-V6D Gen III S 3.0L six-cylinder turbodiesel engine, the sporty, yet efficient sedan will accelerate from 0-60mph in just 5.9 seconds and comfortably reach its electronically governed top speed of 155mph.
The 3.0L commonrail turbodiesel V6 engine is rated at 271hp (202kW) and 443lb-ft (600Nm) of torque – delivering 33% more power and 61% more torque from 1,500rpm than the XF’s existing 2.7L V6 diesel mill. Despite the performance gains, the bigger engine is also 12% more fuel efficient and has 10% fewer carbon-dioxide emissions. Jaguar claims it has a fuel economy of 34.5mpg (6.8L/100km) and an emissions rating of 179g of CO2/km.
A key feature of the new engine is the unique, parallel sequential turbocharger system, the first of its type to be fitted to a V-engine anywhere in the world. A six-speed automatic comes as standard.
There is also a 237hp (177kW) version of the 3.0L engine available, which produces 16% more power and a 15% increase in torque over the 2.7L diesel, allowing the XF to reach 60mph in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 149mph. Fuel economy and emissions are similar to the more powerful unit.
Distinguished by discreet ‘S’ badging, the XF Diesel S also receives significant trim and specification changes. These include unique 20in alloy wheels and a discreet boot lid spoiler. A new Portfolio version will also join the lineup next year.Jaguar XFJaguar XF Diesel S

The result is all the more shocking considering Jaguar-Land Rover posted a £641.5 million ($1.05 billion) profit in 2007

Meet the top commenters on the LeaderboardBring it to America, I would buy one
Let's check the spec sheets of XF Diesel S' German rivals:
o- BMW 535d, 3.0L inline-6, 286PS, 0-100km/h: 6.4s, 6,7L/100km
o- Mercedes E 420 CDI, 4.0L V8, 314PS, 0-100km/h: 6.1s, 9.3L/100km
o- Audi A6 3.0 TDI, 3.0 V6, 239PS, 0-100km/h: 6.6s, 6.7L/100km
The Jaguar drinks about the same amount fuel as the six-cylinders, and is faster than any. Let's wait to check what say jouranlists about how it feels.
Well, should be great with the power and it is the Jaguar XF, which is an amazing car.
