"The next generation Jaguar XFR has been spotted by our savvy spy photographers wearing a sleeker front end, as already used on the brand&amp;#039;s XJ sedan and first previewed on the C-XF concept car back in 2007. On sale since 2008, the Jaguar XF has been a notable sales success for the British brand, which has sometimes struggled with its less expensive offerings. A lukewarm reception to the previous S-Type sedan was often attributed to the model&amp;#039;s old-fashioned styling. Meanwhile, the budget-minded X-Type was widely viewed as little more than a Ford wearing Jaguar badges.   Now under the control of India&amp;#039;s Tata Motors, Jaguar&amp;#039;s XF sedan is due its first significant styling update since its launch. As seen in these photos, the front end closely mimics the look of the new XJ, while the taillights appear only moderately tweaked. The headlights are notably slimmer than those of the previous XF and the grille openings are smaller. Special kudos to Jaguar for the Austin Powers-approved psychedelic camouflage worn by this prototype. A glance at the quad-exhausts and &amp;quot;Supercharged&amp;quot; script on the 20-inch alloy wheels prove that the car pictured is the range-topping XFR model.   Unfortunately, the interior of this prototype remained under wraps (literally). While we&amp;#039;re frustrated at not being allowed a sneak peek, the cloth covers on the dash and instrument panel bode well for some significant upgrades being planned for the cabin. The XF&amp;#039;s mechanicals were revamped only last year, courtesy of the new 5.0-liter direct-injection AJ-V8 Gen III engine. In the 2010 XFR, this supercharged V-8 pumps out 510 bhp, making it significantly more powerful than the BMW M3 but slightly below the 556 bhp offered by the Cadillac CTS-V sedan. The new XF and XFR go on sale next year as 2012 models. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
