NYIAS 2015: 2016 Jaguar XF Bowing Over London Prior To Show
Prior to its North American debut in New York, the 2016 Jaguar XF will make its world debut next week over the waterways of London.
The second-gen premium sedan will be driven by British stuntman Jim Dowdall over a pair of wires 1.3 inches in diameter in a high-water crossing stunt meant to demonstrate “the lightweight and agile credentials” of the second Jaguar model to use the automaker’s aluminum-intensive structure.
For those interested in watching this stunt, Jaguar will stream the event online March 24 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern on its XF microsite. More details about the XF, meanwhile, will come when it bows at the 2015 New York International Auto Show April 1.

Let's hope the wind doesn't kick up. I mean unless the wires are so tight they don't sag any, but where's the fun in that? The interior on this one looks vastly improved over the dated hodgepodge in the current XF.
I hope the wires aren't made of Nikasil.
