The car will serve to highlight [Jaguar Land Rover's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-brand) role as a technical partner of the Bloodhound Project. The vehicle has been modified for carrying specially made support equipment. The rear seats were ripped out and replaced with a roll cage, while purpose-built housing was also installed. A set of flashing safety lights behind the front grille were also deemed necessary. The Jaguar XJR RRV has a 5-liter supercharged [V8](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rb17-hypercar) engine that pumps out 542 horsepower, allowing it to arrive quickly if called upon to assist the Bloodhound. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Performance Sedans:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop performance sedans specifically designed as rapid response vehicles for various industries such as emergency services and security. - **Technical Partnerships:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Foster more technical partnerships between automotive companies and record-breaking projects to showcase innovation and create collaborative opportunities. - **Specialized Support Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and manufacture specialized support equipment for vehicles to cater to specific industry needs, like the modification of the Jaguar XJR RRV. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with record-breaking projects to create industry-specific vehicles like the Jaguar XJR RRV. - **Emergency Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technologically advanced rapid response vehicles based on performance sedans for emergency service providers. - **Security:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create custom-built performance sedans as rapid response vehicles for security firms requiring quick and efficient transportation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desert Competition SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-rover-dakar-rally-defender.md) - [Internal-Combustion SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fpace-svr.md) - [Restored All-Aluminum Jaguars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-xk.md) - [Aviation Powered Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beast-by-john-dodd.md) - [Racer-Inspired Off-Road Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prodrive-hunter.md) - [Monstrously Powerful Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hybrid-suv.md) - [Ultra-Exclusive SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-rover-sv-carmel-edition.md) - [Hyper-Rugged SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-rover-prerunner-concept.md) - [Luxuriously Bespoke British Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-black-badge-spectre.md)
