Four-time World Superbike Champion, Carl Fogarty, has swapped two wheels for four and 🍃taken delivery of a new, limited edition Jaguar XKR 100 convertible.

Thirty-six year old Fogarty, from Lancashire, set his heart on the 155mph luxury sports car following a conversation with Jaguar Racing F꧟ormula One driver Eddie Irvine at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.

"Both Eddie and I were entered in the Festival and we got to talking about cars and bikes," he recalls. "Eddie has a Jaguar XKR himself and said it was a fantastic car, and that I had to get one myself. It is a great car, a unique combination of style and performance. Aftཧer being used to ಞlaying my knee down, I am now enjoying putting my foot down!"

Following a racing accident that broke his left arm, Fogarty reluctantly retired from competitive riding during the 2🌱000 season. Now, with the backing of the Malaysian Petronas company, he has set up his own race team - Foggy Petronas Racing - to run in the World Superbike championship for five years. So ꦰthe Blackburn ace is looking forward to travelling around Europe in his new Jaguar.

Fogarty's XKR𝔉 100 is one of a limited edition of 500, built to commemorate the centenary of Sir William Lyons, Jaguar's founder. Powered by a supercharged 370bhp V8, each XKR 100 has distinctive 'Anthracite' metallic paint, eye-catching 20" R Performance alloy wheels, uprated Brembo brakes and leather-trimmed Recaro seats.

But 'Foggy' won't be putting his two-wheeling days entirely behind him: he has also been provided with an MBK Nitro Jaguar Racing scooter. Finished in the Jaguar Racing c♏olours of green and red, the special edition MBK Nitro scooter has a 49cc engine and is available from Yamaha (UK).
