Biggest race EVER ... Not show related, for the Mag

Next month we're taking on the most epic Top Gear road trip ever - coast to coast, across the big country in Jaguar's new XKR.
We'll be chasing a record too. But we can't tell you which one, or where we're going, just yet. You can be the first to find out, though, by following every time check, fuel stop and wrong turn online.
We'll bring you leg-by-leg updates with pictures and video as the mission unfolds. Log on from September 4...

I agree some with you. Such an 'epic road trip' should deserve a 'better car'.
I like the Jaguar XKR but still... :roll:

Theyre races are all worthless. Id much rather see the car sliding around the tarmac.

UK to Japan! 
But yea, kind of a disappointing car... The 599 GTB, LP640, or even something like the 997 Turbo, would've been much better.

how is the XKR boring?
It looks great, goes fast, sounds great..... that equates to fun
its not exotic car "excitement" but more normal human excitement. Sounds like fun

Hence why I said series finale, as in just showing one final episode of a crazy adventure like that, maybe extend it to 2 hours instead of 1.
