Instead of pulling the covers off
and speeches being made while the crowd ooh and aah over Jaguar’s latest
concept, the company decided to be a bit different this year. Jaguar unveiled
the new F-Pace on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show by running it through the
largest loop-the-loop.
Stunt driver Terry Grant drove the
F-Pace through a 19 metre high loop-the-loop styled as an ‘80’ to symbolise
Jaguar’s 80th anniversary. Grant was brilliant – having prepared for
the stunt months in advance tackled the stunt in wet weather, something he had
never done before. Everything was extremely precise – he had to approach the
loop at 53mph but as he was going round, the speed dropped to 15mph.

At the end, fireworks and lights
went off from the ‘80’, with a beaming Grant standing on top of the F-Pace.
In an electric blue, the car is a beauty! We're sure the car will be just as successful as the stunt was!
Here's a clip of the F-Pace in action, enjoy!
