(Coventry, England - 21 June 2016) – Jaguar’s new, 200mph-capable supercar and the world’s most demanding race circuit, the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife, are now available to be experienced together with the launch of the ‘Jaguar Co-Pilot Nordschleife’ programme.
This exciting new offer gives visitors and fans the opportunity to experience the thrill of Jaguar’s fastest-ever series production car from the passenger seat on the circuit famed as the ‘Green Hell’.
Customers booking their place for a flying lap in the #ftypesvr will be amongst the first to experience its power, speed and enhanced dynamics package around the 12.94-mile (20.83km) Nordschleife circuit.
The #ftypesvr has been developed by #jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations as the ultimate all-weather supercar and is the pinnacle of the successful F-TYPE range. The #jaguar #ftypesvr coupé is powered by a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine that develops 575PS and 700Nm of torque and accelerates from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds.
Before each passenger ride begins, all Co-Pilots are equipped with a race suit and helmet plus HANS (Head and Neck Support) system to ensure maximum safety out on the track. To capture the memorable experience, on-board cameras are mounted inside the #ftypesvr so that passengers can relive the excitement of their adventure at the Nordschleife circuit.
Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations department has fitted the #ftypesvr with a roll cage, Recaro Racing seats, race harnesses for occupant safety and an unmistakable bespoke livery on bright Firesand Orange metallic paint.
Mark Stanton, Director of #jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations, presented the keys to the unique #ftypesvr to Mirco Markfort, CEO Chief Executive Officer, Capricorn, Nürburgring Gmbh this weekend.
Mark Stanton said: “The weather at the Nürburgring is famed for being unpredictable and the new #jaguar #ftypesvr is the perfect car to tackle the undulating track in variable conditions. #jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division has engineered the #ftypesvr to be lighter, faster and more powerful while still remaining a usable supercar every day. The Nordschleife is a fantastic circuit on which to experience all of the engineering enhancements my team has applied to the #ftypesvr.”
Also present at the ceremony were Phil Talboys, #jaguar Land Rover European Engineering Operations Manager, and former Formula One racing driver Christian Danner. Danner, who also leads #jaguar Land Rover’s Driving Academy Team in #germany, said: “The enhanced aerodynamics package, uprated chassis and custom transmission calibration makes the #ftypesvr one of the best cars to take passengers around this challenging track and experience up to 200mph along the Döttinger Höhe straight.”
Passenger laps in the unique #jaguar #ftypesvr are available for 16 consecutive weekends from now until the end of October. The price for the 30-minute passenger thrill ride is €295 per person and can be booked atwww.nuerburgring-shop.de.
