Jaguar XF at the Arctic Circle Challenge

Description

Following its global debut at the ABB FIA Formula E race in Ad Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY racecar was put through rigorous cold weather testing at Jaguar Land Rover’s facility at the edge of the Arctic Circle in Arjeplog, Sweden. Panasonic Jaguar Racing’s Formula E driver, Nelson Piquet Jr, was joined by Beauty and the Beast star Luke Evans, and models Toby Huntington-Whiteley and Jim Chapman, who all took the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY to one of the many frozen lakes in the region to unleash the full potential of the 195km/h electric racecar. Temperatures exceeded -40°C, some 10°C lower than most conventional electric vehicles can operate at. The all-wheel drive Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY took to the ice for the first time, alongside the production Jaguar I-PACE, to prove the effectiveness of its battery’s state-of-the-art thermal management system. This enabled it to deliver outstanding performance, efficiency and durability in the sub-zero conditions. The Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY and the Jaguar I-PACE are powered by the same 90kWh Lithium ion battery. Using the Terra 53 ABB static DC chargers at the Ice Academy, the vehicles can be charged in 90 minutes. Using ABB’s 100Kw DC high power chargers the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY can go from 0-80% in just 40 minutes. The new series continues this weekend, as the ABB FIA Formula E Championship heads to Santiago, Chile for Round 3 on the 26th January.

Convoy of SHERP ATVs Begins Longest Overland Journey North of Arctic Circle

A group of six travellers began their 6,200 mile to Russia's far North-Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula traveling in a convoy of unique off-road SHERP vehicles from the Arctic Sea city of Arkhangelsk last weekend. The expedition plan to cross Russia from Arkhangelsk, located near the Russian border with Norway, to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, on the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula across the Pacific Ocean from the US, a journey which will take between 6 to 8 months, making it the longest overland route north of the Arctic Circle. The vehicle, constructed by Alexei Garagashyan, has a pneumatic circulating suspension, which helps to distribute air between its 800-litre low pressure tires. The ATV can perform a wide range of complicated maneuvers, including climbing onto ice from out of water and passing yard high obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees. The SHERP is ideal for forest workers and rescue services because of its versatility.

New Jaguar XF 2015 review - Carbuyer

The latest Jaguar XF may not look too different from the old model (or the smaller Jaguar XE), but dig beneath the sleek looks and you'll find a much-improved executive saloon. The XF is aiming to steal sales from the likes of the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E Class and Audi A6, and this model is better than ever with a range of powerful and efficient diesel engines, a great drive and stylish interior.
