Exactly the same power plant, no differences other than the MAP.
Tuning outfits are getting them beyond 200Bhp without issues (because there is actually minimal difference between the 163 and 200).
The 163 does have a smaller fuel tank, slightly different under trays etc to lower weight and improve the aero package a bit (no exhaust visible on the rear).
Its a much more agile car then the X250, huge improvements to the suspension package and obviously lighter.
Mr Tunnie.
The X260 that Mr Fuse owns is far more advanced than my X250. It weighs considerably less and is much more spacious, especially rear leg room.
The 300 BHP.... 516 lb ft torque 3.0 derv XFS that I had for a week recently averaged about 45 MPG and I was certainly not trying to be economical.
Only problem is that an X260 will be 2015 or later so obviously cost more.
This is good news.
Agreed MrFuse's is far newer and lighter, I was surprised how quickly they have fallen in value.
Seen on Car Giant 65 Plate 2.0 X260's, Prestige spec either 163/180bhp for around £15k with 80k on the clock.
The older shape like yours, the XF-S Portfolio, so top spec with nice big 6 pot engine (be it DERV), also around £15k but for 2013-ish examples with again 80k ash miles.
Given the 3.2's rusty frame is patched, I intend to keep running it and wait for these nice Jags to depreciate more in price.
But keeping close eye just incase, as the 3.2 was nearly killed last week by some suicidal women turning into a car park in front of me. Apparently, even though I was directly in front of her, I was in her blind spot, when I put the window down to 'discuss' the matter.
On a separate note I do find the Omega's horn nicely aggressive, especially compared to the measly one the Zaf has.
