Built to rival BMW's M5, Mercedes Benz's E63 AMG and Audi's RS6, the new Jaguar XFR looks every inch the true rival in these latest shots.

The XF-R has been revealed. Click here for all the details. Talk of new models at Jaguar has been rampant since the Tata buyout from Ford earlier this year, and to some degree even before.

Dealerships around the world have been taking in pre-orders of the model that many hope will revive Jaguar’s ailing sales and reputation but the hotly anticipated car, the all-new 2009 XF, is proving so popular that high demand for the car has led to delays in some deliveries.
