Quote:
"The range-topping Jaguar XE S features a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine delivering 340 hp. This engine is the same as the one powering the Jaguar F-Type V6. A torque figure of 450 Nm allows a 0-96 km/h (60 mph) time of 4.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. Mated to the engine is Jaguar Land Rover's eight-speed ZF transmission"
"Before the XE hits the market, Jaguar has unveiled a new promo video for the range-topping XE S variant. Showing it on a dyno in a wind tunnel, the promo does give us a good idea of how the XE S sounds at full throttle":

That's a very nice little appetiser for the S - thanks for posting it. Trouble is, I can't stop playing it!

Here's a better example 0-200 km (check the time up to 100 km/h )

Most impressive!

What a shame we haven't the option that the Australians will have with their XEs:
Spot it at 0:41 secs.

Edit:
Not the wheels - But the Jaguar roars !!

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but he's driving the pre-production car in Portugal - so surely that's not a specifically Australian version??
But yes, the wheels do look good.

Does the XE S Model really sound like this

 

[Pickle77]

Well, I was waiting at lights near Gaydon recently and an S started up and came through the lights in the opposite direction - and it certainly sounded very throaty.

 

[Njco74]

Nice something to look forward too.

Aha, got it now - that could be done by the power of Fosters!
