Jaguar’s motor racing heritage is very well known and documented in the history books of Motorsport. The new and extremely striking XKR FIA GT car encompasses all you would expect from a Jaguar racing car including modern design, light aluminium body and a 4.2 litre supercharged V8 engine.

Ever since the company was founded by Sir William Lyons in 1922, Jaguar has been involved in motorsport. The Coventry based luxury car maker has won the world’s toughest endurance race, Le Mans, no less than seven times!

Not only that, Jaguar has also taken the World Sports Car Championship title and in 1956 the company won both Le Mans and the Monte Carlo Rally in the same year.
