How does Jaguar test its vehicles?
Jaguar temperature tests all its vehicles during production, watching how the models handle in -40 degree Fahrenheit for up to 12 hours. Then, the vehicle is subjected to a wind tunnel where cold water is sprayed on it. The purpose is to ensure the Jaguar model will run smoothly no matter the outside weather condition.
What goes into the Jaguar design?
Jaguar designers have a Virtual Reality Cave in which they can virtually sit inside a vehicle so they can get a sense of the vehicle’s proportions. This allows Jaguar models to be designed with comfort and convenience in mind.
