It took just 15 heart-stopping seconds to mark the grand old lady’s 80th anniversary in an unforgettable way.
But into it went months of preparation, as stunt driver Terry Grant steered the F-Pace – Jaguar’s first sport utility vehicle – through a19m-high loop-the-loop course in Frankfurt, Germany, at the International Automobile Exhibition (IAA).
According to news reports, Mr Grant approached the loop at 85kmh and at one point in the course, slowed to 24kmh. He followed a white line to keep the car on track and his body absorbed an astonishing 6.5Gs.
