Play a Game of Drones with the long wheelbase Jaguar XJ saloon

Jaguar has staged a unique drone race to demonstrate how much room there is in the super spacious, super-lux long wheelbase XJ saloon. High-speed drones piloted by professional racers flew through three cars during the race at Alexandra Palace in the U.K., on a course marked out with 13 gates the same shape as an XJL rear door. Travelling at speeds of up to 100km/h, the drones navigated their way through the door-shaped gates lit in Phosphor Blue and Red to highlight two of the XJ's stunning interior lighting options.

Game of Drones was inspired by a new challenge soon to be introduced in Jaguar's Art of Performance Tour - a worldwide tour for Jaguar fans that provides the opportunity to drive the latest Jaguar products. The challenge will allow fans to take part in a real life cat and mouse chase with a drone and a Jaguar on the Smart Cone driving course.

The ease with which the drones flew through the Jaguar XJL cabin is testament to the extra 127mm of rear legroom over the standard wheelbase XJ. Perfectly suited to those seeking comfort on the move, the XJL boasts an exquisite interior and sporting agility that makes for a commanding presence inside and out. This is thanks to features such as airline-style reclining seats with massage function, increased headroom, fold-out tables and specially tuned rear suspension to enhance ride comfort.

Allied with 3.0-litre V6 engines available in petrol (335bhp) and diesel (296bhp), as well as a 5.0-litre V8 503bhp petrol engine, owners can rest assured in the performance of whichever option they choose while enjoying the comfort inside the cabin. Full of technology, the XJL shows new levels of connectivity and offers an effortless driving experience with features that include full LED head lights, all-wheel drive and All Surface Progress Control, as well as the latest Touch Pro infotainment system.

The drone pilots flew their craft while sitting in the back of the performance flagship for the XJ range - the new XJR575 - which boasts a 567bhp power output and a 0-100km/h time of just 4.4 seconds. Offering effortless refinement alongside acceleration, Jaguar Land Rover's 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine produces 700Nm of torque. The XJL and XJR575 are manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover's Castle Bromwich plant alongside the XE, XF and F-TYPE.
