The Jaguar Race Taxi experience in the F-TYPE SVR or XJR575 costs €199 (approximately $344 CAD), lasts for 30 minutes, includes a safety briefing, one lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and a video recording of their lap. The F-TYPE SVR can take one passenger and the XJR575 can take up to three passengers, each of whom must be 18 years or older. Automotive engineers estimate that one lap of the 20 km Nordschleife can stress a vehicle’s chassis and drivetrain as much as the equivalent of driving 200 km on a public road.
