This is the top flight Jaguar F-type R coupé, a 542bhp monster driven here by Steve Sutcliffe at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya. It's so good that after a few laps in this prototype he compares it to the Porsche 911 Turbo.

Watch as Sutcliffe takes a brave pill and switches off all the safety systems and finds out just how poised and well-balanced the new Jaguar F-type coupe is. Then look on in wonder as he drives ex-F1 ace Martin Brundle's Eagle Jaguar E-type to trace this new car's history.
