Driving a Jaguar F-Type SVR at the Nürburgring, a dream that can come true

Jaguar offers enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to enjoy one of its new models, the chance to take a lap of the Nürburgring circuit as a passenger in a Jaguar F-Type SVR coupé, prepared to take on this demanding German track

The Nürburgring circuit in Germany is also known as “the green hell”, so we can imagine it is one of the most demanding in the world. Driving on this track requires a special kind of nerve, with special knowledge to tackle the circuit’s special conditions. If the car making the lap is as thrilling as the Jaguar F-Type SVR coupé, the excitement is guaranteed.

That said, although the British brand offers the chance to sit in the front of this impressive car, which has joined the family of the big cat, you will not be behind the wheel. Track conditions make it essential that someone else drives the car: professional racing drivers who can control its power, giving the customer taking part in this adventure a complete experience.

To access this remarkable experience, you need to book a place on the website enabled for this purpose by the brand. Bookings can be made from now on and will run for 16 consecutive weekends until October, so anyone who wants to experience the power and control this car offers has an easy time of it.

Those lucky enough to take part in this track session will need to wear a racing suit, the regulation helmet and the HANS neck and head restraint system HANS, which protects this delicate area and helps avoid scares and injuries during the lap, which will not be at road speeds, precisely. To increase safety, Jaguar has equipped these versions of its new car with Recaro sports seats and a competition harness system, with a roll cage to prevent injuries in the event of a rollover.

The experience will be recorded by cameras installed in the car, so it can be relived at home as many times as you like. The Jaguar F-Type SVR coupé is equipped with a 5.0-litre V8 engine producing 575 CV and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. The acceleration this engine delivers allows the model to reach 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. The car in which this Nürburgring adventure takes place will be painted in the distinctive Firesand orange.

The lap will last 30 minutes and costs 295 euros per person. Money well spent at an emblematic location for motor enthusiasts, aboard one of the most sought-after cars of the moment.
