All-new all-wheel-drive Jaguar F-Type R helps bloody SSC

Jaguar has announced a partnership with the UK Land Speed ​​Record Team, who are preparing a new World Land Speed ​​Record speed for 2015.The team claimed 1609 km in the bloody SSC year in 2016.What the new Jaguar F-Type R does with its all-wheel-drive system is to test communications in the Gulf Pan Mountains in the southern Gulf of South Africa's Northern Cape.

The test is the start of a technical collaboration between Project Bloody and Jaguar.The team's aim will be the world land speed record of 1228kmph held by Wing Commander Andy Green in 1997.

Proving the new F-Type R's all-wheel capability on pot-soft surfaces, the car achieves 0-100kmph in just about 3.9 seconds and tops out electronically at 299kmp.Ian Hoban, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar said, “Our engineering goal for the all-wheel drive F-Type was to maintain the engaged rear-drive characteristics so important to Jaguar sports cars, but provide greater dynamic capability. The result is all weather and road conditions A fast performance car that is controllable, exploitable and modelable." The All-Wheel drive system is also one of the more upgrades on the new F-Tythe R.The F-Type lineup will grow from six to 14 variants by 2015, and the entire range will be shown on the La Motor show this year.

Returning to the Bloody test, the Jaguar was fitted with the same radios as the rocket-powered Bloody SSC and Jet.The F-Type was driven in full chat, with the jet flying just 50 feet above the ground at 800kmph.A combined closing speed of 1126kmph ensured a successful test of the communication system that will connect Andy Green in the Bloody SSC and the ground team.AWD F-Type R Coupe, Bloody Project Director and former World Land Speed ​​Record holder, Richard Noble mentioned, "We are absolutely delighted to announce Jaguar as the main partner for the Bloody Project. It's a very fine match - Jaguar Very strong on innovation and with a sudden push in advanced technology, education and motorsport track record, we have the perfect partner.”
