Jaguar I-Pace charges ahead in EV Race
  • 6 years ago
Jaguar's first all-electric production vehicle, the I-PACE, has been unveiled to the world in a live broadcast. British comedian and actor, Jack Whitehall, self-proclaimed EV enthusiast and TV presenter Jonny Smith and American tech guru iJustine, hosted a special live show as the first I-PACE rolled off the production line in Plant Graz, Austria, one of the world's most advanced EV production facilities, where the car will be built. When it came to explaining the technology behind I-PACE, host comedian Jack Whitehall enlisted the help of Jaguar's newest vehicle experts, nine year olds Lola and Hudson. Ahead of this weekend's FIA Formula E race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez E-Prix circuit in Mexico City, the Jaguar I-PACE was pitted against both the Tesla Model X 75D and 100D in a 0mph-60mph-0mph head-to-head challenge. Panasonic Jaguar Racing's Mitch Evans got behind the wheel to showcase the acceleration and braking power of Jaguar's first EV against the Tesla models, driven by former IndyCar Series champion Tony Kanaan.
