Jaguar’s glitzy reveal of the all-new I-Pace EV in production form is under way, but away from the main event the British carmaker has released a new video demonstrating it winning a drag race with a Tesla model X (below).
The two all-electric SUVs go head-to-head at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez ePrix circuit in Mexico City, ahead of the formula E race this weekend. Both a 75D and 100D version of the model X are used in the race, which sees the EVs go from 0-60mph and then brake as hard as they can back to a standstill.
