The Jaguar XE Reims Edition is a limited-to-200 special edition that marks 65 years since the firm’s legendary D-type sports car claimed its first race victory.
Winning the 12 Hours of Reims in France was the first win in a run that included multiple Le Mans 24 Hours successes.
Costing £38,295, all 200 XE Reims Edition will be fitted with a 250hp 2.0-litre P250 petrol engine. The base car is the R-Dynamic S, enhanced by a series of special features.
All will be painted French Racing Blue (the same colour notably used on the wild-child XKR-S and XFR-S), and have 19-inch five-spoke gloss black alloy wheels. The XE Reims Edition also comes with a contrasting black roof, door mirror caps and sill inserts.
The exterior Black Pack is standard, stretching the gloss black finish to the grille and surround, side vents and window frames. Tinted privacy glass is standard.
Inside, there are heated seats and the Cold Climate pack which includes heated windscreen and steering wheel, plus headlight washers.
All revised Jaguar XEs also get all-LED headlights, Apple CarPlay, a rear-view camera and all-round parking sensors.
On sale now, the XE Reims Edition is the first in a planned run of Jaguar Factory Specials. These are described as ‘limited production run vehicles with bespoke features and details’ that mark famous locations, events or dates in Jaguar history.
