The most powerful Jaguar sedan ever is ready for a world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and the first photos have hit the Web just before its official reveal. The Jaguar XFR-S sedan counters the efficient new V-6s added to the luxury four-door's lineup with a blistering 550-horsepower, 5.0-liter, supercharged V-8 engine shared with the XKR-S coupe and convertible--one with more aural pleasure than today's supercharged V-8 XFR, thanks to straighter exhaust runs and a conduit for more exhaust noise to reach the cabin. The 40-hp boost over the current XFR makes the XFR-S the highest-output...
