The Curve WINTER 2018
The Curve WINTER 2018 GEAR RIDE THE WAVES Wish you could walk on water? Well, now you can do the next best thing. Meet the Manta5, the world’s most advanced hydrofoil bike. Ridden like a jetski but powered by pedals with assistance from an electric motor, the Manta5 hydrofoil bike allows you to cleave a path through the choppiest swells. The frame is made of lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum, and the ‘wings’ or hydrofoils of carbon fiber help keep the New Zealand-designed craft’s weight down to just 48.5 lbs, meaning you can carry it over your shoulder to the shoreline. Once in the water, just start pedaling, and in seconds, you’ll build up enough power to skim across the surface of the water at up to 9 mph, thanks to the 400 W e-bike motor, which is linked to a waterproof, rechargeable, lithium-ion battery. The Manta5’s sleek, ergonomic design makes it easy to transport – it can be packed into the trunk of a car – so you can take it wherever you find open water. Your next seaside trip just got even more exciting… 14 THEJAGUAR
URBAN LIVING EMERALD CITY While Berlin hogs the limelight for its trendy bars and thrumming startup sector, another Teutonic city has taken pole position: This year Monocle declared Munich the most liveable city in the world. The British global culture magazine singled out Munich’s “excellent infrastructure,” “booming economy” and “proximity to nature with appreciation for culture.” But it’s the Bavarian city’s environmental credentials that make it a cut above. Among its oldest eco-friendly initiatives is Green City e.V., set up by a handful of locals in 1990. Today it’s a nearly 1,500-strong army of volunteers promote a greener, more pleasant lifestyle. They’ve helped oversee initiatives ranging from the introduction of the Louie cargo e-bike, a large bicycle that can be rented for up to three days to lug heavy items across the city, to the annual Street Life Festival, which transforms Munich’s main street, the Leopoldstraße and Ludwigstraße, into a pedestrianized haven for more than 200,000 people. But that’s not all that’s happening on the green front. The city’s fleet of taxis has now been augmented with 10 all-electric Jaguar I-PACE taxis, doing its bit to help reduce the overall level of emissions, which is one of the highest in Germany. Rides in the new, green taxis will be subsidized by the municipality, making fares €0.20 cheaper per kilometer than the gas and diesel alternatives. It’s all part of an ambition to make Munich not just Germany’s most liveable city, but also its greenest.

The latest issue of The Jaguar magazine introduces our new ‘cub’, the E-PACE compact practical sports car, which is already turning heads on the street. As we commit to electrifying every new Jaguar by 2020, we explore how pushing boundaries on the track helps develop our sports cars, from writing motorsport history at Le Mans, to taking on the Nürburgring with the extreme XE SV Project 8 and being at the very cutting edge with the FIA Formula E Championship.
In this issue, we introduce a fresh new addition to the Jaguar family with the launch of the E-PACE. F1 racer Romain Grosjean reveals his passion for Jaguar while the Panasonic Jaguar Racing Team gives an insight into their preparations. Plus, we get to grips with the fast-paced sport of drone racing and spend a unique day with the XF Sportbrake.
In this issue we return to top level motorsport but not in a conventional way, and by doing so accelerate the development of our electric powertrains. In tandem, we introduce our Jaguar I-PACE Concept vehicle - a revolutionary new model available to reserve now for delivery in 2018.
