11 May 2012|4,902 views
Jaguar has added the latest all aluminium XJ Supersport long wheelbase fitted with Sport and Speed pack options to its Nurburgring fleet. The Nurburgring ‘taxi' boasts 503bhp from its 5.0-litre supercharged V8 with a top speed of 280km/h, without the fare meter.Frank Klaas, Global Head of Communications, Jaguar Land Rover, "We found the XJ Supersport most often surprises journalists with its speed simply because they perceive it to be a large luxury car. But its aluminium architecture means it's rigid and lightweight too, which makes it a very good car on track.”
With ample room for four, the standard leather seats are replaced by four race seats, with four-point harnesses each. A full bespoke roll cage is also installed for the safety of the passengers without compromising performance.
We wonder how much it would cost to go around the track if we fitted the Jaguar with our local taxi meter!
