Jaguar Land Rover’s plan to buy the vaunted Silverstone Circuit — and turn it into the company’s “spiritual headquarters” — is up in the air now that Porsche has decided not to play ball.

While many of its biggest rivals reported negative year-over-year sales figures, when compared with the same seven-month period from 2015, Jaguar sold a remarkable 59% more cars in 2016.

Later this year, a fleet of cars from Jaguar Land Rover will be operating sans driver along 41 miles of U.K. roads.

Thanks in part to a 64% year-over-year increase in Jaguar sales, Jaguar Land Rover sold a record-breaking 2991,556 vehicles in the first half of 2016.

Auto Express has just named Jaguar’s new SUV not just their Compact SUV of the Year, but also their overall Car of the Year. And the awards didn’t stop there!

Back in 1957, when Jaguar was building the initial run of 25 D-Type chassis-based XKSS sports cars, the Browns Lane plant caught fire, engulfing the final nine examples in various stages of production before they could ever be finished. So JLR Classic decided to finish the order, some six decades later.
