... over 1.5 tonnes for a stripped out rally car....
It does say they're just quoting the stats from the road car, presumably this one is a bit lighter. Though it doesn't look like it has really been stripped out much at all (which is fair enough seeing as its just a bit of promo fun not actually intended for competition), and the cage must add a bit.

I don't get it. They should have used the Coupe and gone Dakar-style: stripped the interior, added blistered arches, spare wheel in the rear hatch, raised the height and left the nose higher than the rear, big yellow tinted spotlights across the grill... that would have been epic.
It was built as a tribute to 70 years since Jaguar went Rallying with NUB120 a XK120 convertible, hence the F Type convertible was used as the donor car.Edited by Hitch on Thursday 14th February 10:12

I get that, but they could have gone retro-nod or they could have gone modern interpretation, instead they've ended up with something a bit naff. Perhaps it worked though because I spent an hour last night looking at Sport 400s!
