The forthcoming Jaguar F-PACE performance crossover will make its first public appearance at the Tour de France this weekend where it will serve as a support vehicle for Team Sky rider, Chris Froome.

“We are delighted to be supporting Team Sky again at such a prestigious sporting event and are excited at the prospect of the F-PACE being seen in action in public for the first time”, said Kevin Stride, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar F-PACE.

Special Camouflage for F-PACE

The Jaguar F-PACE will only be fully revealed later this year, so some special camouflage will be used to hide the exact design details of the car. The F-PACE will be covered in a soft wrap with inspiration taken from the Tour de France and road racing bikes. The camouflage features carbon textures, rubber and chains interspersed with Team Sky design.

The F-PACE prototype’s appearance at the Tour de France forms part of its final testing, giving Jaguar a chance to test its performance, durability and packaging. The F-PACE prototype will carry up to four people as well as team equipment, tools, spare parts, drinks, clothing and other cycling necessities.The F-PACE also features a cutting-edge bike racking system designed by Jaguar Land Rover which will help carry bikes for the riders.
