Jaguar electrified Los Angeles with a private event that offered a first look at the new I-PACE Concept Car on Monday night at Milk Studios ahead of its debut at the LA Auto Show next week. Over 300 attendees took part in a world-first, live cross-continent virtual reality reveal experience that transported the audience into a unique virtual world to explore the new I-PACE Concept vehicle. Using HTC Vive Business Edition headsets, powered by Dell Precision workstations, guests ‘sat’ on the concept’s virtual seats and experienced a 3600 view of Venice Beach as the I-PACE raced towards them across a virtual desert.

The vehicle is equipped with a dramatic, future-facing cab-forward design with a beautiful interior. This production preview of the Jaguar I-PACE will be on the road in 2018.
