Jaguar XFR Sportbrake concept 'interesting'

[Auto News]

Jaguar boss likes the idea of an XFR Sportbrake, but concedes such a model would be tricky to engineer. A Jaguar XFR Sportbrake has been investigated, but the cost of re-engineering the Jaguar XF Sportbrakes underpinnings make it tricky to justify.
Jaguars global brand director, Adrian Hallmark, said such a car would be an interesting project, and a useful halo model for the resurgent brand. But he said installing the 503bhp 5. 0-litre supercharged V8 would be complex.
It would be tricky to re-engineer the self-levelling rear suspension to cope with the high performance of such an engine, said Hallmark. But be admitted it would be interesting to build a limited run of 300 to 400 units.
