Jaeger-LeCoultre is extending its relationship with Aston Martin by becoming Official Partner of Aston Martin Racing. The three-year technical partnership will see Jaeger-LeCoultre produce special limited series of Aston Martin Racing watches. The Manufacture previously partnered with Aston Martin Racing in 2005 and 2006.

The FXX is not homologated for road use and there are no plans to compete with it either. In fact, the FXX prototype is designed exclusively for track driving as part of a specific R&D programme agreed with a selected group of just over 20 clients involving 14 group test sessions and 14 private ones in the last two years. Thanks to readings taken over the 16,500 kilometres of tests carried out in 2006 and the 18,500 kilometres covered in 2007, the modifications made to the car have focused on honing its aerodynamics, running gear and electronics. Seven-times Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher also joined the ranks of the client test drivers and gave the programme the benefit of his vast experience on several occasions.
