Jaguar XE 300 Sport Edition has made its debut by setting a unique lap record against Hungarian Olympic Gold Medalist Shaolin Sándor Liu, on a 3 km outdoor ice track in Flevonice, Netherlands.
The AWD sports saloon equipped with All Surface Progress Control (APSC), showcases its grip levels on ice. The XE 300 Sport beats Liu’s 04:04:21 lap time by over a minute. Jaguar Stability Development Leader Sean Haughey lapped the track in 3 minutes 3 seconds at an average speed of 59 km/h (36 mph). Liu’s girlfriend Elise Christie, who is also a speed skater, took the passenger seat in the XE.
Besides the 300 Sport badges, the car’s exterior gets satin grey accents, 19 or 20-inch ‘Satin Technical Grey’ finish wheels and 300 Sport branded brake calipers. Customers can choose from three exterior colours – Yulong White, Indus Silver and Santorini Black, while the Caldera Red is also available.
Interiors get 300 Sport branded treadplates, yellow contrast stitching on the steering wheel, seats, door casings and armrest, badged steering wheel, embossed headrests and sport carpet mats. Jaguar’s Touch Pro 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system is fitted as standard.
Powering the XE 300 Sport is a 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol engine, delivering 300 PS of power and 400 Nm of torque, enough for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.7 seconds.
