Ford’s big cat seeks attention

What’s Under the Hood

The XF uses the 4.2 liter V-8 engine, either normally aspirated with 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, or supercharged, which pumps out 420 horsepower and 408 lb.-ft. of torque. Power is sent to the wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode and the now-epidemic paddle shifters. Underneath is a forged aluminum double wish bone suspension with a 31 mm anti-roll bar in the front and a 13.6 mm anti roll bar in the rear. Stopping power is handled by an electronically controlled 4-channel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with yaw control and ventilated discs.
