While the BMW M5 has topped Top Gear’s list of four door sports sedans for what seems like forever, the Bavarian bombshell suddenly has plenty of competition, the newest of which is the Jaguar XFR. TG wanted to see which vehicle was better on the track and around town, and naturally, Jeremy Clarkson volunteered to work as judge and jury.
Clarkson spent all of his time behind the wheel of a right hand drive XFR, and he seemed surprised and delighted at the Leaping Cat’s power and handling. Clarkson calls the cushy ride of the XFR “so soft and it’s so absorbent, it’s like sitting on a fat dog.” But this plump puppy has 503 hp, and “80 more torques” than the BMW, while both vehicles’ weight is about the same. Which one would you prefer? Feel free to leave comments with which one you would take.
