Johannesburg Motor Show - If you're thinking of ordering an M5 or E 63 anytime soon, you might want to put that idea on hold until November.

Jaguar will be unleashing its fastest saloon car ever onto South African roads next month and fans will get a chance to meet it at the Joburg Motor Show this week.

This feline gets its energy from the most powerful version of Jaguar's supercharged 5-litre V8, which pushes 405kW and 680Nm. It'll purr from 0-100km/h in only 4.6 seconds and top out at an electronically limited 300km/h.

Aerodynamics have been honed by a carbon fibre rear wing that reduces lift by 68 percent, while additional corner clawing power is ensured by its 20-inch wheels and modified suspension.

Jaguar describes the XFR-S as "a synthesis of speed, style, and stamina" and we're looking forward to testing that theory on the road.
