2010 Jaguar XFR Hits 225 MPH at Bonneville, But Job Cuts Loom in UK

Fresh off the introduction of the 2010 Jaguar XFR and its 510-horsepower, 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, Jaguar released a video of the car hitting 225.675 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Inside Line News reported today.

As good as the XFR looks and sounds going that fast, a separate report from the Financial Times tempers that feeling slightly. Jaguar Land Rover, subsidiary of Tata Motors, announced it will cut 450 salaried employees from its UK workforce.

Great video! I remember Paul Gentilozzi from his days racing the C5 Corvette and later Jaguar XKR (if I remember correctly) in the SCCA Trans Am (RIP) series.
