Usually, a carmaker debuts its latest ride by driving it onto a stage, the spectacle of the event underscored with smoke, strobe lights, and clean-versions of trap music hits.

Not since Shackleton’s icy expedition has such a feat of daring been undertaken by the swashbuckling Brits!

Without spoiling anything explicitly, we will say that the Jaguar crossed the river without soiling its parchment leather or burled walnut trim.
