It seems Jaguar's
I-Pace has no problems lapping the Nürburgring, as the electric SUV
has just been enlisted for 'Ring taxi duty.
The high-speed service allows you and your friends to
experience a lap of the notorious German racetrack with a professional driver
behind the wheel, and Jaguar has been offering it for several years with its
gasoline-powered models, most recently with the XE
SV Project 8 super sedan.
Now, Jaguar has added the I-Pace to the cab rank. The
394-horsepower, zero-emission SUV delivers 0-60 acceleration in 4.5 seconds and
has a top speed of 124 mph. It also has an EPA-rated range of 234 miles thanks
to its 90-kilowatt-hour battery, though we don't how long it will run between charges
when lapping the 12.8-mile, 73-corner track also known as the Green Hell.
The service is available now and will run until late
November when track services pause for the winter. A lap will cost you 149
euros ($164) and that allows up to three people to enjoy the experience. A lap
in the XE SV Project 8 is still available and costs 249 euros.
Places are limited so anyone wishing to make a booking
should head over to the website www.jaguar.de/jaguar-live/race-taxi.html.
Jaguar is currently working
on a faster I-Pace that will carry the brand's SVR performance label.
It isn't clear when this model will be available but don't be surprised if it's
signed up for 'Ring taxi duty, too.
