Gone in 44 seconds - new Jaguar XJR575 hosts 300km/h interview

Jaguar has launched the new XJR575 with a high speed interview starring designer Wayne Burgess being questioned by TV presenter and race driver Amanda Stretton as the performance saloon accelerates from 0-300km/h. Lasting just 44 seconds - the time it takes Jaguar's fastest XJ saloon to reach its top speed - Burgess gave a quick-fire insight into the development of the potent new model.

The high velocity interview was almost over before it began, but the unrelenting acceleration of the new XJ flagship did not stop Burgess, Production Studio Director and SVO Projects Director at Jaguar, from providing a unique take on the performance saloon.

The XJR575 is the new performance flagship for the XJ range with power up from 542bhp to 567bhp, and accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 4.4 seconds. Jaguar Land Rover's 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine also provides 700Nm of torque, providing the new addition to the range with effortless acceleration and refinement.
