We’ll never get bored of seeing car vs jet videos, and this new one is no different. However, this doesn’t so much pit car against plane, but a guy in a jetpack against the supercharged new Jaguar XJR – and that makes this clip a must-see!<\/p>\n
The race took place deep in the Dubai desert on a closed private road, and was captured in the three-minute film below.<\/p>\n
“This was the most unique race I have ever taken part in. I have never seen anything like the Jetman wing, full of technology and innovation, and Yves is an extremely brave man. It turns out he is also a very fierce competitor!<\/p>\n
“The new Jaguar XJR gave him some stiff competition. The smooth, effortless drive was exceptional and it also handled superbly when I had to avoid sand that had blown into the road. But as for who won – you’ll just have to watch the film…”<\/i> – Martin Brundle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Brundle was helped off the line by the new Jaguar XJR’s innovative All Surface Progress Control – a high-tech system that automatically limits traction loss at low speed on slippery surfaces in order to maximise grip. The 5.0 litre supercharged-V8 powered the XJR over the line at 174mph. If you want to know who won… you’ll just have to watch.<\/p>\n
