Yesterday we revealed a modified version of the new Jaguar XFR had beaten the British car maker’s speed record when it hit 225mph on Bonneville Salt Flats.
The 600bhp XFR was secretly taken out to the site in the USA in November last year – and now we’ve got some awesome footage of it.

The 600bhp Bonneville Jag was on display to promote the standard XFR – which is going up against the BMW M5 and Audi RS6 in the super-saloon sector.
With a 5-litre supercharged V8 engine, the new XFR develops 510bhp, enabling 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.
On sale from March, the new Jaguar XFR costs from £59,000.
