The all new Jaguar XF will be revealed in London on Tuesday (March 24) at a special event, one week ahead of its public motor show debut in New York.

The manufacturer has teamed up with British stuntman Jim Dowdell, veteran of action stunts in movies including James Bond, Bourne and Indiana Jones, to perform a world-first high-wire water crossing in the XF for the event.

The next generation XF is new from the ground up and will be the second Jaguar model to use the brand’s aluminium-intensive architecture.

The XF will make its global motor show debut in New York on April 1 when the full range and technical details will be released.
