The bigger the cat, the higher the purr, and that’s what Jaguar seems to do with its 2010 XK and XF.

Under its nice hood, a new 5.0-liter direct-injection V8 has been housed to boast 385hp and 380 lb-ft of torque and both these numbers are considerably from the gorgeous 4.2-liter V8.

Some nice refinements have also been made with creamy smooth power delivery that makes it quite equal for German competition. The exhaust seems to easily pop and crackle nicely on the over run.

When compared to the hard-core supercharged XKR and XFR, this naturally aspirated V8 seemed to ride in a smoother and better way. Undoubtedly, great improvements have been made that you wouldn’t find in more focused jags for soft riding.  It seems that Jaguar is getting more and more serious for car enthusiasts.
