The new Jaguar XFR-S will make its global dynamic debut on the
famous Goodwood Hill on Wednesday 20 March. Finished in Italian
Racing Red, the prototype version of Jaguar's fastest ever sports
saloon will be driven in front of a media audience at Goodwood by
1988 Le Mans 24hr race winner Andy Wallace.
First shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November last year,
the stunning XFR-S will be joined at Goodwood Festival of Speed
press day by heroes of Jaguar's sporting past. A 1962 Jaguar Mk. II
prepared by Jaguar Heritage Racing, and a 1954 'short nose' Jaguar
D-Type - chassis No.1 and itself a development prototype - will be
displayed by the Jaguar Heritage Trust in front of Goodwood
House.
Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar Global Brand Director said: "I'm
delighted that Jaguar is able to present the XFR-S in action for
the first time in the UK, and that a Jaguar motorsport hero will be
behind the wheel. The crowd at Goodwood will have a unique
opportunity to see and hear the ultimate expression of seductive
Jaguar design and sporting performance in the XFR-S - well in
advance of first deliveries to customers this summer."
Jaguar XFR-S performance highlights
The new XFR-S is capable of sprinting from zero to 100km/h in just
4.6 seconds, and up to the electronically limited top speed of
300km/h. The XFR-S builds on the performance of the acclaimed XFR
to create an even more focused product. With an increase of 29kW
and 55Nm over the XFR in power and torque from its 5.0-litre
supercharged V8 engine, the XFR-S produces an astonishing to 404kW
and 680Nm.
