Looks like some very bright and risk takers are sitting in the marketing team of Jaguar. Few months ago Jaguar released the new XF sedan and they did in an all together different fashion. A stunt man drove the car over a river in a Tight Rope Stunt.
This time, the Jaguar F-pace arrived in front of its audience in another different manner. Not only the crossover looks stunning but the first public appearance was very hair-raising as well. Jaguar F-Pace sets a Guinness World record for 360 loop driving. That’s how they did it. According to Jaguar, the stuntman driver faced forces up to 6,5G while performing the stunt. An 8 and a 0 were selected to celebrate 80 years of Jaguar brand.

Director of Jaguar Design Mr. Ian Callum said “We designed the all-new F-Pace to be first and foremost a Jaguar car. That’s why it has exciting proportions, a dynamic stance, pure surfaces and a beautiful sensuality about it. Its progressive, purposeful appearance has clearly been influenced by the F-Type. Every Jaguar car should draw your eye from 200 meters away and I believe the presence of the all-new F-Pace on the road is second to none in this class. The Lightweight Aluminum Architecture gave us the design freedom to create a car with latent poise – a svelte car with attitude, It looks assertive yet not aggressive. But it’s also versatile and equipped with real-world answers to everyday questions. The all-new F-Pace is an all-weather Jaguar sports car, life-proofed for five people and their belongings.” The price of V6 model will start at USD$41,995 and will be available by first quarter of 2016.
