Jaguar’s Tour de France F-Type
The New Yorker’s archives freely unfold, space plant photography, the science behind tattoos and more in our weekly look at the web
Forget the herculean feat of hammering for nearly 4,000 kilometers, the space-age technology that goes into the bikes of the riders and the down-the-second calculation of tire changes—at this year’s Tour de France, a support car nearly stole the show. Jaguar’s special edition F-Type was built as a support car for Britain’s decorated Team Sky. With 550 horses under the hood, a separate electric charging station in the boot, built-in carbon fiber roof rack and svelte Team Sky blue interior accents, the one-off ride is a cyclist or grand tourer’s dream. Let’s just hope it makes another appearance on the Champs-Élysées.
