Jaguar Unveils Special F-Type Coupe R as Support car for Tour De France
Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations has unveiled a one-off F-Type R Coupe, which has been developed as a support vehicle for Tour de France. The car has been created to support Team Sky, and will be seen during stage 20 of the 2014 Tour de France.
Stage 20 is when the riders cover a distance of 54 Km in a time trail event from Bergerac to Perigueux. This particular F-Type R Coupe has been fitted with a bespoke racking solution carrying two of the team's Pinarello Bolide TT bikes. The F-Type R Coupe replaces the XF Sportbake support vehicle only for this stage.
This special edition F-Type boasts of a separate electric supply in the trunk that powers amplifiers, radios, microphones as well as horns and televisions supporting communications between the team's sports director and the rider.
There are no changes to the engine bay, and this special edition F-Type comes powered with a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 that churns out 550bhp and 680Nm of torque.
