Jaguar I-Pace joins the fleet of taxis… of the Nürburgring

Anonim

After the XE SV Project 8, Jaguar reinforced its “taxi fleet” in Inferno Verde and the chosen model was the multi-award winning I-Pace.

Aimed at visitors to the Nürburgring Nordschleife with greater environmental concerns (or just those who want to feel the accelerating power of an electric on a circuit), the I-Pace thus becomes the first Race eTAXI available on the German circuit.

As with the XE SV Project 8 which has been doing “taxi service” for some time on the Nürburgring, the I-Pace will also have a professional driver at its command. Despite the arrival of the electric SUV to the fleet, there is no indication that Jaguar plans to overhaul the XE SV Project 8 and its substantial 5.0 l, 600 hp V8 Supercharged.

The 400 hp of the I-Pace will now be at the service of those who want to try a ride around the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in electric mode.

Obviously, to take a taxi service on the demanding German circuit, a specific set of qualities is needed, and the truth is that I-Pace has them all.

First you need power, something that 400 hp and 696 Nm of torque Jaguar I-Pace come to prove that there is plenty. Then you need good levels of performance, and in this case, 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.8s and 200 km/h seem like a good calling card.

Finally, you need to have good dynamic capabilities, something that Fernando confirmed when he tested the British SUV that has a 90 kWh battery that offers 470 km (this is already in accordance with the WLTP cycle).
