Martin Brundle tests the Jaguar XKR-S
British racing driver and Jaguar Academy of Sport Ambassador, Martin Brundle tested the Jaguar XKR-S recently at Silverstone race circuit in between his busy Formula One schedule.
The XKR-S, which is available as a hard top or convertible sport car, is the most powerful production automobile Jaguar has ever built and certainly seemed to hit the right notes with the former racing driver.
He commented: “I am delighted to be a part of the Jaguar Academy of Sport and help Britain’s sports stars of tomorrow. It’s great to take the XKR-S around Silverstone, it’s the most powerful production sports car Jaguar has ever built. It takes me back to my Le Mans days.”
The XKR-S convertible sport car packs an enormous punch, with a 5.0litre V8 Supercharged petrol engine under the sweeping front hood.
Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director, Jaguar UK commented: “Martin Brundle is a fantastic Ambassador for the Jaguar Academy of Sport. He has dedicated his life to his sport and this kind of determination is something we try and encourage our Rising Stars to take on board. We are delighted to be providing him with the XKR-S and hope he enjoys driving it.”
The Jaguar Academy of Sport aims to recognise, celebrate and inspire the very best of British sporting talent and success. This is fulfilled through a Bursary Fund and a unique Mentoring and Education Programme delivered through a series of workshops and talent days.
Mentoring is key to the Academy and provides all the Rising Stars with the non-financial support they need in order to be successful and provides our Rising Stars with the opportunity to work with Britain’s sporting greats and their heroes who they hope to emulate.
