Jaguar is pulling out all the stops for its forthcoming XF sedan. Inspired by the C-XF Concept that was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show, the Jaguar XF will feature not one, but two supercharged engines.

The engine in the high-performance S-Type R — 4.2L V8 producing 420-hp — will not longer be used in the ‘R’ version, but will be the top engine for the standard XF line. According to Autocar, when the ‘R’ version — likely to be called the XF-R — returns to the lineup in 2010, it will be powered by an all-new supercharged 5.0L V8 featuring direct injection. Expect the supercharged 5.0L to develop at least 500-hp to compete head-to-head with the Audi S6 and RS6, BMW M5, and Mercedes C63 AMG.
