Jaguar has announced the F-Type R Bloodhound SSC Rapid Response Vehicle will make its first official appearance at the Coventry MotoFest on May 29.
This is one of the cars that will support the Bloodhound world land speed record attempt. It is the latest project of Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations and is wrapped in a bespoke livery created by Jaguar Design incorporating the Bloodhound SSC colors.
As Technical Partner of Bloodhound SSC, Jaguar is supplying engines, engineering expertise and a number of support vehicles for the attempt to break the world land speed record. The F-Type R AWD has already fulfilled a critical role in the development of the Bloodhound SSC with a communications test back in November 2014.
Joining the Bloodhound F-Type at the Coventry MotoFest will be a star lineup of Jaguar heritage vehicles, including the 1953 C-Type, the 1956 D-Type Long Nose and the 1966 XJ13 - the only one of its kind in existence.
