Jaguar has announced a new special model top R version of the F-Type, built in honor of the Bloodhound SSC — a kind of ground missiles, about which we wrote earlier. Special F-Type R Bloodhound SSC Rapid Response Vehicle will be the support car while trying a Bloodhound to set a new speed record.
He will do so, that is, on style — for the first time prepared an excellent livery in the spirit of the hero of the occasion speed. The main dark blue diluted here silver and orange stripes under the British flag and bright disks.
To help him with a hard work will be well known to us five-liter V8 550 forces, providing all-wheel drive coupe acceleration to the first hundred for 4 cents a second. By the way, this uses the same motor and Bloodhound SSC. However, just to pump the fuel — 30-40 thousand horses scheduled he will provide rocket and jet engines. Recall that the purpose of the project, which started in 2008 is still at 1600 km/h. So do not be confused by the V8 in the role of a gasoline pump.
