2016 Jaguar XF Unveiled With a High-Wire Act Over London

Most new car models only have to drive a few feet to their introduction, but the 2016 Jaguar XF's first public drive was more of a high-wire act — literally.

To demonstrate its new, lighter chassis, Jaguar rigged a new XF with special wheels to handle a 787-foot drive on a pair of 1.3-inch wide cables some 59 feet above London's Canary Wharf. The stunt, weeks in the making, took about three minutes to complete as stuntman Jim Dowdell eased the big cat over the water.
