Yahoo Autos Let Ian Callum Talk You Through The First Electric Jaguar
After designing Jaguar's first functioning hybrid supercar concept, Ian Callum also had the privilege of coming up with the brand's production-bound electric car. The I-Pace and all the cars it will compete with from 2018 mark a new era in the automotive industry, and Jaguar's sporty crossover sure looks like a worthy contender for your attention.
Electric cars can be much more spacious inside due to not having engines and transmissions right where your legs would normally be. The I-Pace seats five in comfort under its sleek body with a drag coefficient of 0.29. Being so aerodynamic means its axle-mounted motors with a combined output of 395 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque will rocket it to 60mph in just 4 seconds.
Having four-wheel drive grip and a range of (up to) 310 miles on the NEDC test cycle (220 miles in America), it might just be the zero emission car many have been waiting for.
The first production I-Pace is set to roll off the line in less than two years from now.
