Sadly, no lap record is available of the X308 XJR
(or any other XJ) on the power lap-times board
on Top Gear.

There is, however, some footage for you of an
XJR out on an airfield, going for a bit of a smoke.
The V8 XJR!

Enjoy


Ian

That's the growing feeling here in blighty - he's too close to the prime minister and his cronies, the 'Chipping Norton set' and all self serving ex public school boys....

The only thing that driving an R like that does, is wreck one tire and put the diff in the danger zone!

My thoughts exactly Sean!

He's the UK's most over paid idiot!
Legend in his own lunch box and doesn't do manufacturers any favours.

xjay8, I know Clarkson is bit of a polarizer, sometimes
I can't stop laughing at him, other times I wish he would
just shut up.

I agree, Sean, he definitely does no favours for manufacturers.

I'd hate to look at the rear diffs of his XJRs. The inside rear
tyre is a lot easier to replace!
