Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I

The Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I reaches 60 mph in 5.38 s (100 km/h in 5.60 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.63 s, tripping the lights at 103.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s and the eighth mile in 8.90 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.23 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the XF SV8 Mk I

The 2008 Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,903 kg with 410 bhp, which works out at 216 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 216 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.17 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,554th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 73rd quickest of the 187 Jaguars here. Its 103.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I 0-60 time?
The Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I reaches 60 mph in 5.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,554th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I quarter mile time?
13.63 s at 103.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I have?
410 bhp and 1,903 kg, which is 216 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 257 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall VXR8 (5.39 s), Maserati Quattroporte IV Evoluzione (5.43 s), Infiniti G35 Sedan 3.5 V6 309 (5.34 s). Each one can be raced against the Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
