In Part 2 of this exclusive Engineering TV interview, John Gentilozzi, Director of Engineering Operations at Rocketsports Racing, takes us through the aerodynamic and safety modifications made to the prototype Jaguar XFR the team ran on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. The XFR recorded a stunning top speed of 225.675mph (363.188km/h), making it the fastest Jaguar ever. The 225mph top speed was achieved with additional horsepower liberated by a remapped ECU, a modified air intake and exhaust system, and revised supercharger settings. No internal engine components were changed and the six-speed automatic transmission was standard, including the gear ratios. Also watch this episode:
