“Is it fast?”
We get that question a lot. Several times a month, in fact, and it comes from every corner of our lives - friends, family, complete strangers and even colleagues from time to time. And it’s an understandable query. After all, speed, either in a straight line or around a twisty bit of tarmac, is a universally accepted line of demarcation between the typical family sedan and something much more fun and therefore desirable.
Imagine our surprise, then, when we encountered a small group of casual passers-by while shooting photos of the striking French Racing Blue Jaguar XFR-S you see above, with the beautiful backdrop of Mount Rainier outside of Seattle, WA, and not a single question was asked. This, despite the fact that all eyes were as unilaterally drawn to the slinky blue sedan as they were to the beauty of the snow-capped peak off in the distance.
For several minutes, we moved the car around our chosen photo location, and nobody said a word. And then, finally, a middle-age man and his wife walked by. The man glanced over his shoulder at the Jag, then said to his wife, “Wow. That thing is fast.”
That was when we understood. Nobody asks questions when the answer is so obviously staring them in the face. Of course it’s fast. Just look at it. Wings, spoilers, carbon fiber in every nook and cranny, massive wheels and a burbling idle sending shockwaves through the dead air with every cycle of combustion.
Oh yes. It’s fast. Very fast indeed.Continue reading 2013 Jaguar XFR-S
