Michelle Rodriguez takes Jaguar F-TYPE SVR to 323kph

By CARSIFU | 24 March 2016


NEVADA: The new Jaguar F-TYPE SVR, the fastest series production Jaguar vehicle ever, has been put through its first high speed test drive with Hollywood actress Michelle Rodriguez at the wheel.

On a closed highway in the Nevada desert, home to the world renowned Silver State Classic Challenge road race, the actress pushed the F-TYPE SVR Coupe to its top speed with the speedometer indicating 323kph - a personal top speed for the star, who is better known for her tough chick role in the Fast and Furious blockbuster hit. She will reprise her role as Letty Ortiz in the upcoming sequel Fast 8, due out in 2017.

Michelle Rodriguez said: "Driving this car was insane! I've now broken my personal speed record in the beautiful Jaguar F-TYPE SVR. Reaching 323kph felt amazing, the car drove really smoothly, all my corrections were minimal, I was super focused, and it really reacted in all the right ways. I don't think I'd ever go this fast without a professional driver seated next to me, but oh man, it was an incredible feeling."

"I've always wondered what it was like to travel faster than my top speed of 225kph and, outside of the Autobahn, it's impossible for me to do it safely anywhere else and safety is most important to me."

Developed by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations to be lighter, quicker, faster and more powerful while remaining useable day-to-day, the F-TYPE SVR elevates the F-TYPE model range as the ultimate Jaguar sports car.

The F-TYPE SVR is the first Jaguar SVR and fastest F-TYPE ever.

Acceleration from 0-100kph takes just 3.5 seconds.
