It’s been about a year since our spies captured a mildly modded prototype of what we believed to be at the time an early test mule of a hardcore version of the XFR, much in the likes of the XKR-S.

Now, we can show you the first images of the XFR-S wearing its production body armor, which includes a newly designed front bumper with massive air vents and a lip spoiler, side skirts and a larger boot lid spoiler than the one found on the regular XFR.

Other notable styling cues on this prototype include the larger black alloy wheels hiding red brake calipers, and the blacked out front grille and rear trim between the tail lamps.

In XFR-trim, Jaguar’s sports saloon is motivated by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 rated at 503hp (510PS).

The XFR-S will likely use the same tweaked 5.0-liter supercharged V8 found in the XKR-S coupe and which generates an additional 40-horsepower and 70Nm of peak torque for a total output of 542hp (550PS) and 680Nm (501 lb-ft).

Uprated suspension and brake bits should also be part of the package.
