If an extra €199 is burning a hole in your pocket and you'll be in the vicinity of Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, why not take a thrill ride in a Jaguar Race Taxi on what is reputed to be the world's most demanding track—the Nürburgring Nordschleife, known affectionately in the motorsports world as Green Hell?

Jaguar, WT#???

Current Lineup Bewilders with Strong Performance, Head-Scratching Styling                Clockwise from Top Left (all from 2017 model year): Jaguar XE, Ford Fusion, Jaguar F-Type, and Ford Mustang. Notice the styling similarities? Collage was assembled from photos from the Jaguar and Ford media sites. I have to admit some bias here, because I grew up around Jaguars from the 50s and 60s. My older brother owned several. The ones I remember best were an XK-140 coupe and a 340 sedan. No, I wasn't from a wealthy family. I'm the son of a teacher, and our standard of living was barely middle class.
