Jaguar Vector Racing has broken the national and world electric speed records for a battery-powered boat.<\/p>\n
The Jaguar Vector V20E recorded an average speed of 88.61mph across two legs of a 1km course on Coniston Water, England.<\/p>\n
The electric boat was designed and constructed by Jaguar Vector in partnership with Jaguar Racing\u2019s technical partner Williams Advanced Engineering.<\/p>\n
Technical platform<\/p>\n
\u201cOur experience from powering the entire Formula E grid for the past four seasons of racing and our ongoing partnership with Jaguar in the ABB FIA Formula E championship provided the technical and operational platform required to achieve this fantastic result,\u201d explained Craig Wilson, Williams Advanced Engineering MD.<\/p>\n
Mark Cameron, director of experiential marketing, Jaguar Land Rover, added: \u201cJaguar is at the forefront of electrification technology and our mission is to \u2018race to innovate\u2019 on track and on the water.<\/p>\n
Technology transfer<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to the whole team and our technical partner Williams Advanced Engineering for successfully transferring the technology we are using in Formula E with Panasonic Jaguar Racing from race car to power boat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following Jaguar\u2019s announcement in October 2017 to become the exclusive title partner of Vector, the team will now attempt further world and national records over the next 18 months as part of a major initiative to push the boundaries of performance and show off British engineering.<\/p>\n
The V20E was piloted by Jaguar Vector co-founder and technical director Peter Dredge.<\/p>\n
