"Speed, performance, and sporty" are not terms that are commonly used to describe hybrid or electric vehicles, but Jaguar is trying to change that. The days of small and slow hybrids have been replaced by SUVs and sports cars that get the same performance and speed as gas-powered engines.
It's no surprise that Jaguar is at the front of electric technology and now at the front of electric racing technology as well. It all started for Jaguar when they became the first premiere manufacturer to enter the Formula E and now a new racing series is planned around the release of Jaguar's all-electric sports car, the I-PACE.
“Jaguar has been a welcome addition to Formula E and a fantastic advocate for electric street racing," said Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Formula E. "The Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY will bring more entertainment for fans in-between sessions and will be a further testament to the advances in battery technology and exciting electric performance. I hope Jaguar will allow me to bring my race suit and helmet... and maybe get behind the wheel myself!"
The eTROPHY series will be made up of 10 races in major cities around the world including New York. All drivers will race in Jaguar I-PACE sports cars and there will be a different VIP driver at every race.
More information about the I-PACE will be available in 2018 but you can contact Jaguar Huntsville for information about Jaguar vehicles and hybrid or electric technology. Our staff is waiting to assist you.
