Apex Motorsport has revealed the first images of the new Jaguar XKR GT3 that will take part in the FIA GT3 European Championship next year.
The Jaguar will be driven in the endurance race and will be competing against the mighty Porsche 911 GT3 and Aston Martin DBR9 .
Team manager Dave Ward added, "The basic all-aluminium chassis is already immensely rigid, so we're confident that with the addition of the roll cage it will be amongst the best in class.
"There is a great buzz surrounding the launch of the XKR and this GT3 programme is going to reinforce the sporting credentials of the XK range even further," he said. "The XKR is undoubtedly a great looking car and we're very pleased that Apex shares our view that its lightweight body structure is an ideal platform for the series. We're really looking forward to seeing the car run for the first time."
The team is planning to compete in all six championship events and the Australian Grand Prix support race in March 2007.
