Every petrolhead dreams of one day driving the famous Nurbrugring Nordschleife in Germany. For most this remains a dream as it is prohibitively expensive.

Taxi fare

Even if you can find your way to this hallowed ground, hiring a car to tackle the 21 km circuit is another hefty expense.

Jaguar has just introduced the Jaguar Race Taxi experience to give enthusiasts a full-throttle hot lap in one of two of its high-performance products.

Thrill-seekers can choose between the Jaguar F-Type SVR or XJR575, or both if budget allows.

Two seats or four

The F-Type SVR is a 322 km/h (200 mph) supercar that is powered by a 5,0-litre supercharged V8 engine 423 kW and 700 N.m of torque.

The Jaguar XJR575 is also powered by a 5,0-litre supercharged V8 developing the same maximum power and torque as the coupe, it can reach 100 km/h in just 4,4 seconds before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 300 km/h.
