This is magic in deed! Jaguar’s first ever ‘family’ sports car has roared its way into the record books today by performing the world’s largest ever loop-the-loop. The gravity-defying 360 degree stunt was performed by the British car-maker’s new F-PACE sports utility vehicle in Frankfurt on the eve of the city’s prestigious international motor show where it is being officially unveiled.

The aim was for the new car to accelerate its way into the Guinness World Record just as it gears up to drive out of showrooms. The new F-PACE and its heroic stunt driver Terry Grant had to withstand extreme forces of 6.5G or six and a half times normal gravity and greater than that experienced by space shuttle pilots at take-off - as it completed the giant 19.08 metre tall loop

The extraordinary feat was designed to showcase both the powerful design of the new lightweight F-PACE and its ability to combine agility with sports car speed and performance. See more from the presentation below....

Hair-raising: The stunt was designed to showcase the power and the lightweight design of the new vehicle

Loop the lopp

The stunt driver had to withstand a force the equivalent of six-and-a-half times gravity

Months of planning went in to ensuring both the car and driver could complete the world record-breaking challenge

A team of experts including structural engineers, mathematicians and safety experts were involved in preparation of the feat

They used physics, angles, speeds and dimensions to make sure it was safe

Stunt man Terry Grant himself said: ‘Driving the world’s largest loop tonight was a very proud moment in my career.'
