JAGUAR AT THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED 2018
Goodwood Festival of Speed is a motorsport festival of legendary proportions, and Jaguar certainly rose to the challenge this year; showcasing the most powerful and ground-breaking vehicles we have to offer. The trailblazing all-electric I-PACE was a hot talking point in the grounds of Goodwood House and our Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) models were out in full force.
