Jaguar pulls XFR out of CTS-V Bob Lutz challenge due to poor brakes…
Apparently Jaguar has decided to pull the XFR out of the competition with the Cadillac CTS-V that was to take place against GM’s Bob Lutz. Jaguar’s PR Stuart Schorr said they aren’t afraid that the XFR would lose to the Caddy. No, their reason? That the brakes couldn’t hold up to track duty for 5 time attack laps and could pose a danger to the driver. It seems that the only car willing to take on the CTS-V is the CTS-V itself. The Jag was originally going to be piloted by Jalopnik’s Wes Siler, but it appears they will now use Lutz’s V or a Mitsubishi EVO that they drive up in. For more, head on over to Jalopnik.
On a side note, the picture is from a comparison between the XFR and CTS-V, in which case the V won.
