Jaguar has announced that they will reveal the new XF ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show. The XF will journey across London on 24 March and the event will be streamed live through this link at 19.00.

This will be no ordinary journey. Jaguar has teamed up with stuntman Jim Dowdall (from Bond, Bourne and Indiana Jones movies), and he will perform the world’s longest high-wire water crossing in the all-new XF. The car will travel across two 34mm-diameter wires which are suspended high above water. Jaguar tells us that this is to highlight the “lightweight and agile credentials” of the car.

We’re told that the new XF will be completely new from the ground up. It will be the second Jaguar model to use the brand’s “advanced aluminium-intensive architecture”.

Ian Callum, Director of Design in Jaguar, said: "I believe the all-new XF will be the best looking car in its class. Elegant, handsome and with proportions that imbue a great sense of integrity - the all-new XF will be true to the strong tradition of sporting Jaguar saloons while being completely of its time”
