00:00 On a deserted mountain road in California, we found the perfect place to drive this.

00:26 The Jaguar XK-RS.

00:33 The XK has been lightened, strengthened and battle-hardened.

00:36 It corners faster, stops shorter and has enough power to move the mountains around us.

00:42 Under the hood sits a 5 litre supercharged V8 which makes an earth-shattering 550 horsepower.

00:50 It is the most powerful production engine Jaguar has ever produced.

00:54 The XK-RS accelerates to 60 miles an hour in 4.2 seconds and if you keep your foot down,

01:01 it won't stop until it reaches 186 miles an hour.

01:05 And if you're thinking that's what makes this car special, you'd be wrong.

01:11 It's the noise.

02:27 - As the sun starts to slip below the mountain tops,

02:34 it's time to reflect on what makes this car so special.

02:38 It's more than just the big cat growl when you nail a gas,

02:41 more than the epic power and endless grip

02:43 and brilliant brakes.

02:45 It's how it makes you feel behind the wheel

02:47 and the reaction it gets from people who see it passing by.

02:51 How it makes grown men drop their jaws

02:54 and kids smile with awe.

02:56 And then, just like that, it's gone.

03:00 (soft music)

03:02 (gentle music)
