Jaguar XF
The Jaguar brand owes its life to the Indian conglomerate Tata. While the XF base sedan may not turn too many heads, the opposite is true for the XFR and its 510-hp 5.0L turbocharged V8. The base engine, a turbocharged four-cylinder produces 240 hp and an optional 3.0l V6 makes 340 hp. All 2013 models receive an eight-speed automatic transmission and V6 and V8 models a Stop/Start system.
