Default V6 Questions

Unfortunately my 2012 V8 XF has been totaled. I want another except cuz I love the car but I'm not finding any VA beach close to me that I like.
I have however found a really beautiful 2017 xfs. That's the supercharged v6 all-wheel drive version. so my question is what kind of bills are available for it what's the max horsepower output people have gotten it to what kind of suggestions for inside does the community have?
Thanks thanks in advance for all your help guys.

Don’t think you can get the V8 anymore.

I'm surprised no one from the tuning crowd has piped in. I didn't tune because the 340 horses are enough for me but there's lots of stuff available. An XFS starts at 380 .... a tuning box/changing engine mapping can add some. I'm guessing 30 hp. A pulley can add more. Exhaust can add a bit more. Do some online searches and you'll find what's available.

I’d rather have the V8.

A 2017 will be the aluminium-intensive construction. AFAIK the doors are steel but the rest of the car is aluminium. The suspension is the later design too, which when I look at it, would seem to promise more durability, but I may be wrong. I would have thought you'd find the SC V6 more than adequate. The AWD takes away some power, of course. If you do loads of "donuts" and track days, the car is not going to last long !
