 Does a good job of being an XFR-lite Nothing can replace the real thingEngine: V6, 2993cc, turbodiesel Max power: 271bhp @ 4000rpm Max torque: 442lb ft @ 2000rpm 0 - 60mph: 5.9sec Top speed: 155mph (limited) (250Km/h)  What is it? An XF with more frugal running costs, but a handling pack, large wheels and various bodywork addenda to ensure you don’t miss out on all the fun an XFR can dish up.  Technical highlights The updated 3-litre V6 turbodiesel is good for 271bhp and a thumping 442lb ft of torque, while covering 42 miles for every gallon of the black stuff. The Aerodynamic Pack costs £1500 and for this you get the side sills from the XFR and black mesh grilles. For another £500 you can add the LED running lights, but it’s the Dynamics Pack that intrigues most. It costs £1250 and includes huge 20-inch ‘Volans’ five-spoke wheels and the Adaptive Dynamics system. The software of which analyses the chassis and driver inputs 500 times a second and uses the resultant information to improve handling without apparently sacrificing comfort.  What’s it like to drive? You do get one of the above, but not both. Handling is improved by the Dynamics pack, but there is a small reduction in driver comfort. With the system the XF DS is more positive on the way into a corner, particularly with the nose, but you will feel ridges and bumps a little more. It could be argued that the XF has so much built-in comfort that the sacrifice is small enough to be insignificant.  How does it compare? Very well. Of course you won’t get the fireworks dished up by the XFR, but it’s a good compromise between executive comfort, a thoroughly entertaining chassis and sensible running costs  Anything else I need to know? It draws a surprising amount of attention from other road users, it has only 19lb ft less torque than the XFR and the dash to 60mph takes only 1.2 seconds longer.

| Un buen coche lo es, independientemente del combustible que gaste. Un diésel en una berlina de casi 5 metros es casi indispensable si haces viajes largos. Además, estos diésel no suenan a tractor y van muy suaves, por no hablar del brutal par que tiene (610Nm) |

| Precioso, qué clase, qué estilo, qué interior, qué buen gusto, qué motorazo... sublime. Para gustos colores, pero habiendo coches así, ni me plantearía un A6, Serie 5 o Clase E. |

| Por eso digo que es la unica pega,el coche empuja de maravilla,es comodo, el cambio con levas es rapido,en curvas se comporta bien,pero le falta mas vida en altas, algo que solo la gasolina le puede ofrecer,por no hablar del sonido... |
