It’s a little early for Jaguar to be announcing expansion plans for the new XΕ, which are believed to include an Estate and possibly a coupe, but here’s a render for a high-po version of the sedan.
Made by Hungarian artist X-Tomi, the theoretical XER-S would sit above the existing XE S, which has a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 335bhp (340PS), and very likely, on top of an XER edition.
It would rival the BMW M3 and the forthcoming Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and Cadillac ATS-V.
The engine of choice could be a heavily tuned version of Jaguar’s 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with an output of over 400hp or a de-tuned variation of the XFR and XFR-S’ 5.0-liter supercharged V8, again with around 400-450hp. The V6 would be more compatible with the XE’s lightweight philosophy while also allowing Jaguar to differentiate it from the more expensive XFR.
