Jaguar XKR-S: UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

Jaguar reveals that the Jaguar XKR-S will make its UK debut at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Jaguar has revealed that its fastest car in a generation – and its fastest series production car ever – the Jaguar XKR-S is to make its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.

Which has surprised us a bit – we rather expected it to start turning up before that.

But in lots of ways it makes sense to have Jaguar’s new Cat with Big Claws making waves on the  Goodwood Hillclimb as the Goodwood Festival of Speed is going to be something of  Jaguar-fest this year. Or, more specifically, a Jaguar E-Type-fest.

Fifty years of the Jaguar E-Type will be celebrated at Goodwood, with the central feature outside the main house being another mammoth work of art, this year featuring the E-Type.

We’re now starting to lose track of the number of stories we’ve run on the Jaguar XKR-S. But it seems likely this may be the last until the Goodwood in the Summer.

Or Jaguar send us one to play with.
