The XFR-S is the ultimate expression of the ageing but handsome XF saloon, packing a 542bhp punch from its supercharged V8 engine. Oodles of power and a classic rear-drive layout mean the XFR-S is one of the most exploitable and entertaining super-saloons out there. Its exuberant character means it makes this list despite a huge thirst, giant price, and of course, that dubious bodykit.
