http://Carwp.blogspot.com.br (from Jaguar Press Release) Jaguar F-PACE Tested to Extremes #FPACE <br />-Jaguar F-PACE exhaustively tested in the most demanding locations <br />-Durability proven at extremes of hot and cold: -40°C to +50°C <br />-Dynamics and performance optimised for all conditions <br />-Gravelled mountain passes included in a Jaguar test programme for the first time <br /> <br />From the searing heat and dust of Dubai to the ice and snow of Northern Sweden, the new F-PACE has been tested to the limit in some of the most inhospitable environments on Earth. <br /> <br />Jaguar's performance crossover offers an unrivalled blend of performance, design and practicality. To ensure that every system functions perfectly even under the most extreme conditions, the new F-PACE has been subjected to one of the most demanding test programmes the company has ever devised. <br /> <br />"We developed the F-PACE to offer the ride, handling and refinement demanded from a Jaguar, together with exceptional levels of ability and composure on all surfaces and in all weathers. <br /> <br />"Just as we paid obsessive attention to detail over the engineering of every single component, we've exhaustively tested the F-PACE in the most challenging conditions to ensure that it will exceed the expectations of our customers around the world." <br />Andrew Whyman, Vehicle Programme Director, Jaguar F-PACE <br /> <br />At Jaguar Land Rover's test facility in Arjeplog, Northern Sweden, average winter temperatures rarely exceed -15°C and often plummet to -40°C. The 60km of purpose-built handling tracks, mountain climbs, inclines, split-friction straights and off-road areas are ideal for optimising the calibration of the all-wheel drive system, Dynamic Stability Control and technologies such as Jaguar's revolutionary All-Surface Progress Control. The work done here makes sure that, whether on asphalt, snow or ice, the F-PACE delivers the connected steering feel and agility fundamental to Jaguar dynamics DNA. <br /> <br />In Dubai, ambient temperatures can exceed 50°C in the shade. When vehicles are left out in direct sunlight, cabin temperatures can soar to 70°C - exactly what's needed to ensure that everything from climate control systems to infotainment touchscreens function perfectly in extremes of heat and humidity. <br /> <br />And while the test engineers can relax in air-conditioned comfort as they drive in city traffic, this part of the test cycle is designed to place the cooling systems under very high load through a combination of high ambient temperatures and low airflow. <br /> <br />The F-PACE has also been driven over gravelled mountain passes. This is the first time that a Jaguar test programme has included this uniquely challenging environment, and it is this attention to detail that will help to make Jaguar's first performance crossover the benchmark in its segment. <br /> <br />Find us on https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carwp/505636076134244 <br />Royalty Free Music by http://audiomicro.com/royalty-free-music <br />Sound Effects by http://audiomicro.com/sound-effects
