Panasonic Jaguar Racing Formula E Racecar – Video

 

Jaguar’s car is not entirely its own—we previously reported that the chassis is provided by Dallara, and the batteries remain spec components—but the drive system is unique. Panasonic has signed on as a title electronics partner (it already provides Jaguar production vehicles’ head-up displays), and Williams will provide engineering support as well. The racing team behind the car, then, is called Panasonic Jaguar Racing. So far, details on the I-type 1’s motor, electronics, and battery are being kept close to Jaguar’s corporate chest, and Panasonic won’t say what, specifically, it is providing the team beyond technical support and “technology.” We do know that Jaguar Land Rover is handling the car’s powertrain development, wherever the components came from, although it won’t provide naked images of the back of the car (where that powertrain is) until closer to the start of the 2016–2017 Formula E racing season.
