When I look at all the fashion shows, especially of Gucci and Chanel, I wonder how hard it is to truly dress that way every day. How wonderful it would be to pull off those extravagant looks throughout all of life’s little chores, in and out of the house. Of course, for the majority of women, it’s not possible, nor realistic. But there’s a way to pull off an equally show-stopping, jaw-dropping first impression no matter where you go. Enter the 2010 Jaguar XFR, guaranteed to have you looking glamorous, sophisticated, elegant and totally chic. The XFR will never fail to stir up your senses with its unique sound, power and performance. Sleek and clean lines define the XFR, and when you add that an out-of-this-world 510hp, this vehicle serves as the absolute perfect stiletto to your black dress. Once you have all the accessories you need, all you have to do in step inside and let the exclusive and futuristic technology take you to a whole new world — on a whole new level. Imagine the lights turning on, the AC in your hair, the radio blasting to your favorite tune — who needs the runway when you’ve got endless stretches of road ahead of you?!
