For gamers, Jaguar’s Vision GT SV concept will make a special guest appearance. The Virtual Jaguar has a virtual 0-60mph of 1.65 seconds, and a maximum speed of 255mph. It is just as well it isn’t a road-going car, imagine the mayhem.

First Glance will also see Land Rover’s “Defender V8”, with a stinking 525hp 5.0-litre V8 engine. Range Rover SVAutobiography Ultimate, will appear alongside, in a shiny new paint combo of satin-finished Orchard Green under a Narvik Black roof with copper detailing. Detailing extaneds to Gloss Black knurled infill and copper-edged metal Range Rover badging on the bonnet and tailgate.

Jaguar F-TYPE 60 Heritage Edition will be a started in the Supercar Run. It comes in Sherwood Green. Which was an original E-type colour not seen since the 1960s.  The special edition F-Type has a duo-tone leather interior in a car that is 1 of 60. Jaguar has thrown their best 5.0-litre 575PS supercharged V8 at the F-type, just to make it extra memorable.

The F-TYPE hill run, with stunt driver Terry Grant, will be a close-quarters high-speed display, with F-TYPE, XE and F-PACE just inches away from each other. Terry is fresh from a record barrel roll and a loop-the-loop in a Jaguar, and holds the world-record for the fastest car on two wheels ‘up the hill’.

The Jaguar Land Rover stand will showcase current models, as well as holding pre-booked live drive experiences. They can be a riding shotgun in an F-TYPE drift experience or take to the wilds of Goodwood in a new Defender, with an off-road course right there on the JLR stand.

In years gone by, queues for these experiences have been long and arduous, but COVID demands a calmer approach. The bookings Only sessions will be via smartphone using contactless tags placed around the show stand. Once a slot of nabbed, the visitor returns at the allotted spot.

Jaguar is a Wimbledon Championship parent, so games will be streamed live. As if that wasn’t enough, tennis player Kyle Edmund will be on the stand in person. Kyle will drive in the hillclimb on Saturday in a Jaguar F-TYPE.
