Jaguar’s electric GT slides around the Arctic Circle in the name of science
Words: Andrew Sluys
Jaguar has released a set of images which show its upcoming all-electric GT car sliding around Sweden’s snowy conditions.
According to the British brand, these images were taken in the Arctic Circle, and are part of the serious testing procedures the GT is undergoing.
This four-door GT will be the face of Jaguar’s controversial electric re-brand when it is unveiled, which will likely be within the year.
As Jaguar is already calling it the most powerful production car the brand has ever built, it is expected to have more than 730kW, produced by three electric motors.
At over 5.2-metres long, the Jaguar lives up to the grand part of its GT name, and the long wheelbase would surely help with the snowy slides.
While these images don’t give us any extra information as to what this vehicle will look like, it shows Jaguar has done its homework on thermal management.
Harsh temperatures are the natural enemy of batteries, and a car of this stature is expected to be able to perform in the worst of it.
It’s rumoured the battery will be around 120kWh, and should provide almost 700km of driving range off a single charge.
