Although, in my eyes, the flagship of the British car manufacturer Jaguar, the XJ model, is primarily synonymous with luxury, effortless smoothness and style, the operators of the Nürburgring circuit seem to think otherwise. How else can you explain the removal of the BMW M5 from the ring taxi position and its replacement by the Jaguar XJ Supersport ?
However, the luxury XJ is no slouch. It will offer racing seats for four passengers, a roll cage, a fire extinguisher and full comfort equipment. In terms of design, it is the clear king among executive limousines. Prim plays above all with a beautiful exterior characterized by a front lip, red brake calipers and 20-inch light-alloy wheels.
In addition, under the hood of this gray beauty hides a turbocharged eight-cylinder with a displacement of 5.0 liters producing an output of 375 kW (510 hp) and 625 Nm of torque. This, in conjunction with the six-speed automatic transmission, means acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 280 km/h.
